And now for some science
Latest offering. How myelin ensheathes axons!
Born from chat with Dwight Bergles on "weird things" we saw oligodendrocytes do, like making "bridges" between sheaths.
Driven forward by Cody Call, Kelly Monk, and myelin folks @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social
Enjoy!

The rate of axon ensheathment varies within individual myelinating processes, resulting in chains of myelin sheaths connected by bridges consisting of thin cytoplasmic processes that provide ...
A new method enables engineered immune progenitor cells to replace microglia in mice and reveals how a genetic mutation can lead to inflammation in the brain.
It's part of a CDC effort to warn Americans of tick-borne infections such as Lyme disease that the agency said are on the rise.
