Great talk on Mānuka honey’s synergistic effects with antibiotics on antibiotic resistant bacteria by @DrJonathanCox at @AucklandUni @AstonUniversity @ComvitaNZ

Huge congrats to Distinguished Professor Dame Margaret Brimble @BrimbleM who received the news she's been waiting for, with the FDA approving her drug Trofinetide today. She identified it in a lab @ScienceUoA. Remarkable. bit.ly/3YE6qGr #womeninscience #rettsyndrome

More intriguing Promethion-powered science from @UniAuckland - here, @TMerry_NZ & colleagues elucidate β-catenin's role in skeletal muscle insulin resistance! physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/…

Nice work @MassonStewart congratulations

The final paper from my PhD is now available online. In it we build on our previous work, and demonstrate loss of muscle beta-catenin in models of insulin resistance. Thanks to @TMerry_NZ @ShepherdPeterR and others physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.14814/p…

Also @newyorkpost for their article on our work. @ShepherdPeterR @kiwimitoman @AucklandUni @HRCNewZealand @FMHS_UoA nypost.com/2023/01/26/com…

Thanks @AMShowNZ for having me on to talk about our new research on a pharmacological intervention that extended #lifespan in mice. Tweet linking paper in thread. newshub.co.nz/home/new-zeala…

Online now! @TMerry_NZ et al. @AucklandUni show that dietary supplementation with PI3Ki alpelisib/Piqray extends mouse #lifespan & is associated with greater strength+balance but reduced bone mass & mild hyperglycemia rdcu.be/c4hI1 nature.com/articles/s4358…

Remember this work is in MICE. Lots more work needs to be done before translation to humans

Thanks for supporting this work @HRCNewZealand @MWC_CoRE @royalsocietynz @UoANutrition @AucklandUni @FMHS_UoA.
