Pleased to share that I’ve been awarded a Catalyst Award from the @mssocietyuk.bsky.social 🥳
Many thanks to the MS Society UK for supporting our research in the @almeidalab.bsky.social and helping to advance understanding of MS!

Adaptor protein complex 2 (AP2) participates in biogenesis and homeostasis of myelin sheaths in the central nervous system Myelination of CNS axons requires oligodendrocytes to undergo extensive morphological changes by producing large amounts of myelin membrane with defined protein composition and structure. The formatio...

If you're interested in trafficking of #myelin constituents in #oligodendrocytes, and of course you are, you may want to check out our new preprint. It's very nice PhD work by @sophiesiems.bsky.social, and we're grateful to all who contributed!
