Thankful to NINDS for supporting Alex’s work on neurovascular mechanisms of microglial dysfunction!
Congratulations to Alexander Silva, @UCSDBMS graduate student in the laboratory of Dr. Andrew Mendiola, Assistant Professor @UCSDPharm for receiving his National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) F31 fellowship!

OMB has still not released funds to the NIH as mandated by congress! This is just crazy stupid. What’s their end game?! @PattyMurray what is the senate doing about this?

Our latest preprint.
Blood originates in hypoblasts during embryonic development.
As a blood generator from a petri dish, one question has always stuck in my mind for 15 years. Why does some blood come so fast from iPSC? 1/

Our PLAMseq paper is out today in @ScienceAdvances . We developed a TurboID-based protein-genomic approach to map proteins and protein interactions in the genome. Validated with CTCF and RNApolII. Applied to map Histone H1 SUMOylation genomic loci.

Honored to serve as lead PI on a multi-center, multi-PI, $15 million NIH grant (with Drs. @AE_MD Ezzati, Glover, and Grill) dedicated to establishing the first trial-ready cohort for limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (TRC LATE).

🚨 Our latest paper is out in @NatImmunol ! 🧵
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) — the immune system’s IFN-I powerhouses — can change their identity!
Congrats to Rebeca Arroyo Hornero, our team & collaborators 👏👏

"future" ruling unlikely to be before Oct 1 so the $800 million - that was allocated for this fiscal year - is lost to the treasury
Honored and grateful to receive an @alzassociation Research Grant for my project “Role of APOE4-driven microglial mitochondrial dysfunction.” This award will support our research on how APOE4, neurovascular inflammation, and microglial metabolism contribute to AD. #ALZFunded

#InterferonPower! Thrilled for our latest work @CellCellPress! With @dfrboehmer, we dug into tons of papers & created what we hope will be a go-to resource for immunologists & non-immunologist about type I, II, III (& IV😉) #interferons! Free link 👉 authors.elsevier.com/a/1leKG…

🚨 Paradigm shift in #MultipleSclerosis 🚨
New study in Nature Medicine shows MS is not fixed subtypes but a dynamic continuum of states across 4 dimensions: disability, brain damage, relapses & silent inflammation.

Nice work
It is debated whether poor #blood flow underlies white matter loss in #aging. Our recent study in aged mice supports this idea: Impaired drainage through rare, deep-reaching #venules causes mild #hypoperfusion that triggers inflammation and demyelination.
