Oligodendrocyte precursor cells facilitate neuronal lysosome release
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells facilitate neuronal lysosome release - Nature Communications
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) play a multifaceted role in the brain. Here, the authors show that OPCs regulate neuronal metabolism by forming contacts with neuronal somata, facilitating lysos...

Really excited to share some cool data from Labo Tremblay grad student Colin, in collaboration with @drjkhokhar.bsky.social, on acute cannabis exposure and OPCs!!
Cannabis THC:CBD Composition Affects Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cell Characteristics Following Acute Cannabis Vapor Inhalation in Adult Male and Female Mice https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.09.18.752658v1

This is my beat, but fact checking this piece taught me a lot.
I learned abt the extraordinary success of Canadian overdose prevention centers (OPCs)— where people can inject drugs w supervision to avoid overdose & infection.
2 decades in operation, millions of injections overseen, only 1 death.

But one by one, Canadian OPCs are being shut down.
This is not because they didn't successfully save lives. It's because Canada is moving to the right politically and away from harm reduction—something that is happening around the globe.
Powell thinks these closures are a good thing.

Overdose prevention centers (OPCs) like Moss Park offer more than safety, they offer compassion and humanity. By connecting people to health services and preventing overdoses, OPCs play a key role in building a healthier, safer community. Read more: www.nytimes.com/card/2025/02...

Congratulations to Bogota and Cali for opening Latin America’s first officially sanctioned Overdose Prevention Centers. There are around 200 OPCs around the world and they have saved countless thousands of lives — which is why Trump is attacking the three that exist in the US.
My first story for @thinkglobalhealth.org is about South America's first safe injection sites, where staff monitor clients as they inject drugs in case of overdose. These sites are possible thanks to Colombia's 2023 drug policy, which prioritizes health.

Very excited to share our new paper in @ijdrugpolicy.bsky.social 🎉
In this paper we look at experiences of people who use drugs in public and semi public drug consumption environments and the need for OPCs in England.

If only they would actually listen to educators! The OPCs are destroying all of our public institutions and paving the way for privatization. We have to maintain our pressure on them, we need to protest loud and often.

It shouldn't be ignored that this is the second election the OPCs have implemented voter suppression tactics which will no doubt lead to low voter turn out.
