OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
[CorTalk] Neuro-glia-immune mechanisms of synapse loss in neurodegeneration
One important question is how microglia detect and determine which synapses to eliminate and which ones to spare. Emerging data suggest that microglial cell states, including the synapse phagocytosing ones, are influenced not only by changes in neuronal activity but also by surrounding astrocytes and perivascular macrophages. Further, cell-cell crosstalk influencing synaptic fate can also involve adaptive immune signalling along brain borders. I will discuss potential modulators of microglia-synapse interactions with relevance in neurodegenerative diseases.
