Research Spotlight
Villani et al. introduce HuZIBRA, a human-zebrafish model to study human #microglia in vivo. The study reveals conserved gastrosome-mediated processing of dying neurons and highlights a powerful new tool for microglia research.

Network Glia and the national Glia networks are building momentum toward FENS 2026. Join a growing partnership connecting sponsors with the glia research community through symposia, a joint booth, and a satellite event in Barcelona. Thanks to our sponsors Research Diets & STEMCELL Technologies.
GLIA 2027 is taking shape! Last week, the Programme Committee, chaired by Bruno Weber, selected the top symposia, technical symposia, and plenary speakers for #Bologna. Thank you to all involved. Notifications will be sent in the coming days.

Lesion-remote #astrocytes drive microglia-mediated white matter repair. McCallum et al. show that CCN1+ astrocytes reprogram #microglia for myelin debris clearance after CNS injury, promoting recovery.

The 10th Symposium of the Portuguese Glial Network will take place on 29 May 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal, featuring keynote talks by Nathalie Rouach, Amit Agarwal & Rosa Chiara Paolicelli. Programme & registration: https://redeglial.weebly.com/x-symposium.html #Glia
Research Spotlight
#OPCs act as glucose-sensitive biosensors during brain development. Sauma et al. show that ACLY links glucose metabolism to histone acetylation, regulating OPC proliferation and differentiation. A potential target for #myelin repair.

Research Spotlight
New Cell Reports study from Uppsala University shows astrocytes may shed motile, nucleus-free “zombosomes” that carry organelles and spread α-synuclein pathology in human cell and brain organoid models

Glia in Focus 🔬
Confocal images show how early-life inflammation reshapes #microglia in the dentate gyrus: from ramified, surveillant cells (control) to dense, reactive clusters (LPS). Same stage, same region—very different landscape.
