Electro-Calcium uncoupling precedes neurodegeneration in Alzheimers disease https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.26.701803v1
Preprint alert: Check out our latest work 'Electro-Calcium Uncoupling in Capillary Endothelial Cells Precedes Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease'. We used Young 5xFAD mice to decipher neurovascular communication deficits in pre-symptomatic phase of AD.

Thanks @sorengrubb.bsky.social for creating this π§΅ to summarize the findings. Thanks @alleninstitute.org @hhmijanelia.bsky.social and @helenelab.bsky.social for the EM datasets.

First Preprint from my group @NIHIRP, where a summer project led by Vanshika Chaddha took unexpected turn into identifying Primary Cilia across the Brain Vasculature.
New avenues for NVC.
Amazing Collaboration with @sorengrubb.bsky.social, Carolyn Ott and Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz.
Join us in congratulating the CCAD Cohort of 2026! We look forward to their innovative contributions to the field of Alzheimerβs disease and the CCAD community.

Excited to share our first pre-print from the new SSPB section at the NIDCD!π₯³
We hope you find it interesting and inspiring for future research. Thanks to our team, colleagues, mentors and collaborators π₯ πͺ π .
Take a lookβand stay tuned for more!

Showing how a precapillary sphincter dilates during high blood pressure
ππ§ #PrecapillarySphincters (PS) at the #arterioleβ#capillary junction rapidly dilate ~30% in seconds during #SensoryStimulationβregulating #capillary #BloodFlow dynamically. Here we investigated whether they protect downstream microvessels during abrupt #BloodPressure surges π§ͺπ§΅
Congrats @sorengrubb.bsky.social and team :)
Congrats John and team :)
Congrats :)
Congratulations π
Congratulations to you and your team π
I am actively looking for a research scientist position or research administration role within the Raleigh-Durham (RDU) area! Please reach out if my background and skillset might fit your labs needs :-) Lots of experience with preclinical models, translational neuroscience, and behavioral analyses!
Check out this editorial written for a beautiful work by MArk Nelson's Lab on electro-calcium coupling and control of the neurovascular unit.

Congratulations π
Thank you, highly appreciate it :)
Check our illustration of the Electro-Calcium Coupling
New publication Alert: Delighted to share our latest work. We describe a unique relationship between electrical and Calcium signaling; 'Electro-Calcium Coupling' in brain capillary endothelial cells.

Congratulations π
Congratulations π
Yes, please. Thank you π
I am delighted to share the work of my amazing student Dominic Isaacs! Out today in PNAS (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...), Dom beautifully used optogenetics to show that thin-strand pericytes in the brain can send long-range electrical signals to control arteriole diameter and brain blood flow.
Congratulations :)
Join us!!
We are looking for a postdoc candidate to join our team. We study neurovascular coupling mechanisms in the basic physiology and in the models of Vascular Dementia. Learn more: research.ninds.nih.gov/mughal-lab
