Our behemoth of a review is finally available! We detail humoral and neural communication mechanisms across the liver-brain axis in the context of chronic liver diseases and hepatic encephalopathy: nature.com/articles/s4157….

A recently published paper from my time at @UCLchildhealth, mapping dystrophin isoforms across the brain and characterising mdx23 mouse behavioural phenotypes. Thanks to all involved! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Still hearing a lot about “Blue Zones” being the secret to longevity. But the theory was debunked a while ago. Areas of the world with people claiming to be 110+ years old are actually just places with poor record keeping and a lot of pension fraud. When official birth certificates are introduced, supercentenarian claims disappear…

Pleased to share our new paper implicating #interleukin 10 in perturbed #brain #microcirculation and #cognitiveimpairment in mouse model of type 1 diabetes. Congrats to the team @uvic, @sharmasorabh88, @UVicMedSciences, @NatMetabolism, nature.com/articles/s4225…

Amazing @AHadjihambi presenting her work on MASLD-induced encephalopathy, brain-liver axis, and autonomic disfunction driving cerebrovascular complications of fatty liver disease at #Ascona Periprandial Mechanisms Congress

Last week we welcomed Shiyam & Sumaiya for a laboratory tour, microscopy demo and mentoring session with our PhD Students @UnaRastovic & @MattRSiddle as part of the @KingsCollegeLon In-Reach Undergrad Mentoring Programme, great to have you both! @kingsmedicine @KCLImmunoMicro @DrElePalma @AHadjihambi @JoSpencerLab @magromayor #LiverTwitter #LiverResearch #STEMcareers #STEMeducation

Could #AntimicrobialResistance be the incoming government’s next major challenge? Dr Lindsey Edwards (@DrLAEdwards) from @kingsdentistry explains why #AMR should be top of political agendas. ⬇️ kcl.ac.uk/antimicrobial-…

Our #LiverBrainAxis group will be represented by @MattRSiddle at #EASLcongress 2024 who's presenting a poster on the Liver-Brain Axis in MASLD @AHadjihambi @EASLnews @EASLedu @KCLImmunoMicro @NeuroImmunePhD #LiverTwitter #Hepatology

…and we wrapped it up yesterday with great talks from @sj_marzi and @PeteHarley95, covering epigenetic mechanisms in microglia and synaptic transmission in motor neurone disease #pint24

Two great nights of @pintofscience so far - on Monday, we had exciting talks from @laupellegrini and @errin_roy on brain organoids, followed on Tuesday by @adorrego_r on mitral cells in hearing, and @RobertHindges on amacrine cells in visual processing! #pint24

Thanks to @sj_marzi and @PeteHarley95 for two fantastic talks on neurodegeneration for our final #pint24 event!

My visual system may need studying after being stood right next to this demonstration of cell orientation. Very cool. Very bright!

Thanks again to @adorrego_r and @RobertHindges for tonight's splendid talks! And well done @rj_neuro and @MattRSiddle for hosting tonight's event!

Super nice when people asked me if they can use my repository for teaching. I always say yes. Friends don’t let friends make bad graphs repository: github.com/cxli233/Friend…

So excited that this year's tickets for the Pint of Science are on sale. Come to the George and hear from @errin_roy and @laupellegrini on growing brain organoids, @RobertHindges and @adorrego_r on how we see and hear and finally @PeteHarley95 on neurodegeneration. #pint24
