New insights into myelin maintenance that slows with age and inflammation
Myelin is the insulating layer that wraps nerve fibers, allowing brain cells to communicate quickly. In adults, new myelin is made by oligodendrocytes that arise from precursor cells (OPCs). Using genetic tools and live imaging in mice, this study publishes in Science, led by Yevgeniya A. Mironova from Kavli NDI member, Dwight Bergles’ lab, shows that OPCs attempt to mature into myelin-producing cells on a regular, internal schedule across the brain and spinal cord.
Kavli NDI Breakfast Meeting
3D multi-omic mapping of whole organs and organisms at single-cell resolution - Denis Wirtz, PhD, Professor Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
Kavli NDI hosts a monthly breakfast at our Homewood campus. This meeting serves as a forum to bring the Hopkins community together to brainstorm ideas, discuss current research, and set the stage for collaborative science across the community. Open to all members of the Hopkins community-- please email kavlindi@jhu.edu or sviswa10@jhmi.edu if you wish to attend.
