Last friday, our colleague Aida defended her PhD Thesis entitled "Contribution of astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles to neuronal local translation and synaptic function in Alzheimer's disease".
Congratulation Dr. de la Cruz Gambra, Zorionik beroena Aida.
Thank you!!! 🤗🤗
Last Friday I defended my PhD thesis! I’m officially a doctor! 🎓🥳 I couldn’t have done it without my amazing mentor! Huge thanks to the thesis committee and to my labmates, family & friends! It’s one of the best days of my life🎊🎉
3/3 🔎 Here we developed a simple methodology to directly measure local translation within isolated synaptosomes by exposing them to puromycin!
2/3 🧠Curious about local translation? Then be sure to check out our latest article, where we reveal for the first time how astrocyte-secreted factors drive new protein synthesis in synaptic compartments‼️
1/3 📢 I’m thrilled to announce that my first-author article from my PhD research is now published📢
Thank you to everyone who contributed, directly or indirectly, to this article! 🥳

Happy to share our Perspective on #microglia #pruning and help to answer the questions of whether they are hunters or gatherers of brain #synapses 🧠🧪
