When a neuron’s waste is too big to carry home, microglia pinch it off from the outside – in a process called skoupocytosis, from the Greek for garbage. @chandrrrika.bsky.social covers a #preprint from Renee Pepper et al. @watanabelab.bsky.social #preLight⬇️ prelights.biologists.com/highlights/m...

Thanks Maureen-looking forward to kicking back and enjoying the science and company at the GRC in 2 years with you and @roylab-ucsd.bsky.social in charge. And a shoutout to the 2028 chairs-my Hopkins colleague, Shigeki Watanabe @watanabelab.bsky.social, and Monica Sousa!

We were thrilled to have @watanabelab.bsky.social from Johns Hopkins University speak today at MPFI about his recent findings on axon morphology and their implications for function and plasticity. Thank you, Dr. Watanabe!

Out today, we can now multiplex receptor mapping at synapses thanks to a dimeric gold nanoparticle label optimized by Hoyoung that's distinguishable from monomers! Dimeric gold nanoparticles enable multiplexed labeling in cryoelectron tomography | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
