Last Friday, @InflamResCen hosted IRC Science Day: A day packed with inspiring talks that showcased the diverse work of our institute. Science also met creativity during the Science Fair 🎡 We had a blast putting a creative spin on what we do in the lab!
Our findings suggest that Smpd3's role in EV biogenesis might vary depending on cell type or species, indicating its effects are not universally consistent across different cellular contexts.
Contrary to expectations, Smpd3 deficiency did not affect EV release, both in vivo and in specific cells such as mixed cortical cultures and bone marrow derived macrophages.
Thrilled to share our paper exploring the role of Smpd3 in EV biogenesis is now published in @ISEV_JExBio! 🔬We took a novel approach beyond common pharmacological inhibitors by creating both full-body and conditional Smpd3 KO mice. Read more below👇 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39525277/

Check out part of my PhD work in our @biorxiv_neursci paper: Newly discovered base barrier cells provide compartmentalization of choroid plexus, brain and CSF. @Vdb_lab and many awesome collaborators. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Hope to share the revised version soon!
Excited to expand and share our neuroimmunology knowledge at the 18th European School Neuroimmunology Course @ISNI_neuro in Hasselt! 🤓🧠With presentations by lab members @PieterDujardin & @hannah_lernout @IBDUnitGent
Great that we could contribute to this work! @charyssevdd @vdb_roos
💡Exciting news from the Haesler lab (@__NERF)! The scientists developed unique microfluidic interfaces in preclinical models, providing a powerful new way to access brain fluids or deliver drugs with great translational potential. Read more: vibbio.tech/3XHvn6P
Excited to host the 3rd edition of the @BBBelgium_ symposium at our home turf. Save the date: October 14th! Can't wait to see many of you there!
‼️ Thrilled to announce our 3rd Brain Barriers Belgium Symposium, taking place October 14th 2024 in the vibrant City of Ghent @InflamResCen! 🗓️ Save the date 🗓️ for an enriching day dedicated to breaking barriers in brain research for both local and international researchers.
Results of the GUT-PARFECT study have been published: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, phase 2 trial evaluating the clinical effects & safety of a single faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in 46 patients with early-stage #Parkinsons thelancet.com/journals/eclin…
New scientific goal reached… Having your study highlighted by @ScienceofPD 🙏🙏
