The first work of the #FalconeLab is finally out!!! 🤩
A story of #astrocytes from evolution to disease. Thanks everyone who made this possible!

The #FalconeLab is moving!!!!
I am excited to share I will start as an assistant professor at Towson University in Maryland in August 2025!
If you live in the Baltimore/DC area and want to collaborate (or just have a coffee!), let’s chat! 🤩

Had an amazing time presenting our latest data from #FalconeLab (right before we move it to @TowsonU !)
Also, it was amazing to connect with amazing young #astrocyte researchers right after it!

🚨The first #preprint of the #FalconeLab is OUT!🥹🚨
We found that varicose-projection astrocytes are not a physiological type of #astrocytes but they are rather associated with neuropathology.
Read more here, feedback is welcome!!

With the end of 2024, it’s time to wrap up the first 2.5 years of #FalconeLab. I am so proud of what our lab members were able to do!
Yeah, I am late to the party, but here we go: a thread of achievements, goals, and gratitude🧵👇

This work would have not been possible without the massive efforts of our postdoc Caterina Ciani
and *all* the members of #FalconeLab, the support of @humantechnopole.bsky.social
ECF funding, the hosting of SISSA, and all our precious international collaborators (more below)!

This stemmed out of a beautiful collaboration with Giuliano Taccola. 🙌
Yes, it’s a short one, but it opens many doors for future studies 🤩
I am so proud of our former students Luca Mio and Giulio Pistorio, for leading this study 👏👏

Simona and Luca graduated (yey!!!) and we welcomed two new master's students to the lab: Francesca and Delaram. I am astonished at how hard-working and motivated our students are. And really, all of #FalconeLab members 🫶
