🔬 Come join us for our upcoming special seminar on November 14th with Naguib Mechawar from McGill University! His talk will present data generated with well-characterized human brain samples showing that childhood abuse has lasting consequences on perineuronal nets in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex; a phenomenon hypothesized to be mediated by glial cells, namely microglia, based on recent (unpublished) results. 📅 You can find all details of the talk below. As usual, the talk is open to everyone, no registration necessary! You can find further information and all upcoming talks on our website: https://lnkd.in/dur_C29S

Roughly every third patient with depression has elevated inflammation levels. But how are #inflammation and #depression connected? Are there other biological variables that can give us a better insight into the relationship? Jonas Hagenberg, Janine Knauer-Arloth and their team explore this question in their recently published paper.

Ich werde oft gefragt, warum mein Newsletter nicht wöchentlich erscheint - und ich möchte ehrlich antworten: Er macht mir schlicht zu viel Arbeit. Das schaffe ich nur alle zwei Wochen. Schon das ist ambitioniert. Wer also diesen Freitag die "Sporks Science News" (mit "Epigenetik News") vermisst hat, dem sei ein Blick in die besonders faszinierende Ausgabe aus der letzte Woche empfohlen: https://lnkd.in/dmsDK6tx Und wenn ihr die schon kennt, stöbert doch einfach im Archiv mit 125 bereits erschienenen Newslettern: https://lnkd.in/dsN6Gqwx
