• The FENS Forum of Neuroscience is the largest international neuroscience meeting in Europe, involving all neuroscience societies and members of FENS. The meeting is held biannually on every even year. FENS is the voice of European neuroscience. With 44 neuroscience member societies across 33 European countries, FENS as an organisation represents 20,000 European neuroscientists with a mission to advance European neuroscience education and research.
• Insight Biotechnology will be Joining GeneTex at the FENS meeting in Glasgow. The FENS Forum 2020 will take place between 11-15 July 2020, and is hosted by the British Neuroscience Association (BNA). Come and talk to us. We would love to hear from you! Details are as follows:

Neuroinflammation (GENETEX OFFER!)

Neuroinflammation occurs within the central nervous system (CNS) as a result of infection, injury, auto-immune processes, or toxicity. Microglia, as the specialized resident macrophage cells in the CNS, play crucial roles in both the initiation and resolution of neuroinflammation. However, their impact on neurons is complex. Microglia demonstrate a phenotypic plasticity that is directly influenced by the regional brain microenvironment. Thus, the M1/M2 dichotomy labeling used to describe other macrophage activity is inadequate to reflect the true heterogeneity of the microglial population. It is known that in neurodegen-erative disease the microglia may display a “disease-associated microglia signature” that involves expres-sion of genes found in both M1 and M2 profiles. Therefore, though important for the initial response to neuronal insult, microglia often contribute to the neuronal loss characteristic of these diseases.

GeneTex is proud to offer an outstanding, well-cited Iba1 antibody (GTX101495) as an important addition to your reagent collection for microglia research. This antibody was validated in part through side-by-side comparison with other market-leading antibodies for western blot and immunohistochemistry (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) *.
