We study glial cells and their role in neurodegeneration. Curated by lab members at @UPVEHU, @CIBERNED, @Biobizkaia and @AchucarroGlia.

Leioa, Basque Country
On #WorldAlzheimersDay, an inspiring visit. Thanks JavierBerdugoVega @EPFL for his talk on rejuvenation through cell-targeted partial reprogramming in #brainaging & #Alzheimer Can restoring neuronal & glial identity recover function—and how? @biobizkaia @CIBER_ISCIII @upvehu

🧠New research from @EHUzientzia, featured in @DIEZEIT, reveals that #marathon running leads to a temporary and reversible reduction in #brain #myelin content. This change does not affect brain function and underscores the brain's remarkable adaptability zeit.de/sport/2025-09/marath…

Yes! Brain #myelin fully recovers after a #marathon. Our findings support the idea that endurance #exercise does not cause long-term negative side effects to the #brain in healthy subjects. I myself completed 18 marathons and feel fine (great indeed!).
