It’s just a tiny bottle.. It probably doesn’t smell that bad

🧐 How do we make sure BACE1 inhibitors to treat Alzheimer's Disease are specific? 💊
Find out in our #NewPaper how VEGFR3 is cleaved by BACE2, and could be used in vivo to develop safe, selective Alzheimer's treatments 🧠

It’s typical of the unspoken duties constantly being loaded on the clergy that this advert says nothing about the expectation to solve crimes

[PREDICT-Meso @PREDICT_Meso]

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the @PREDICT_Meso WP3 Investigator meeting in London yesterday 🙏
Was wonderful to see you all in person & meet some of you for the 1st time.
We had some great presentations & really productive chats- can't wait to realise our next steps⏭️

[A Cambridge Diary @acambridgediary]

A picture of Cambridge every day since 2010. (No 5000) Tuesday 5th December 2023.
So here it is - my final picture of uninterrupted daily photographs of Cambridge - 5,000 consecutive posts over 13 years. I’m sure you’ll forgive the fact that it wasn’t taken today but a week ago today when the full moon eased itself between the turrets of an illuminated King’s College Chapel. I knew the moment I pressed the shutter that I wanted it to be the last photograph of my daily pictures not just because this frame is undoubtedly the most recognisable view in Cambridge but because for me the full moon symbolises a moment of release and completion and a time to sit in the fullness of life and feel grateful for my blessings. The full moon is also associated with madness, of which I must have had a portion to have stuck with this for so long!
I’d like to thank you all for your likes, comments and stories along the way - you have made A Cambridge Diary a heartwarming community and a place to share memories with Cambridge folk both from the town and the university. Most of all I’d like to thank everyone who has appeared in my pictures over the past thirteen years: the bikers, bowlers and buskers; the carpenters, choristers, clothiers and constables; the dancers, diners and dog-walkers; the entertainers and extras; the gardeners and graduates; the kayakers; the lecturers and lingerie models; the painters, parents, pensioners, porters, praelectors, proctors, professors and punters; the readers, revellers, rowers and runners; the scaffolders, scullers, singers, skateboarders, soldiers, stonemasons, strollers, students and swimmers; the tourists and touts; the walkers and workers. I’d also like to thank the cats, dogs, ducks, rabbits, squirrels and swans, and Queen Elizabeth I and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. To you all, my sincere thanks.
Whilst this is my final daily picture it doesn’t mean the end of A Cambridge Diary as I’ll still be posting my pictures from five and ten years ago and I’m sure there will be the occasional new picture popping up now and then - just not every day. Oh, and I still have to walk home don’t I?
Love to all
Martin

[Emily Self @Emily_Cellf]

Ending the week with the Cambridge Lung Cancer Symposium 🫁 here @CRUK_CI . Always great to get the rare opportunity to see @PREDICT_Meso collaborators in person rather than on zoom!

Highlight of course until @DJMurphyLab1 ‘s talk on GEMMs and the early detection of #Mesothelioma

[CRUK Cambridge Centre @CRUKCamCentre]

We have a packed programme with talks from national and international experts in #lungcancer research.

[UK Dementia Research Institute @UKDRI]

Exciting research by Prof Bart De Strooper has discovered how neurons die in #Alzheimers🧠

The study reveals new insight into the mechanism by which neurons initiate a form of cell death known as necroptosis, when exposed to amyloid plaques & tau tangles👉https://t.co/RVj1m7lTed

My husband told me I talk about epigenetics too much…

I told him I didn’t like histone

[MRC Toxicology Unit @MRC_TU]

The MacFarlane group are looking at mechanisms of cell death that underlie the response to toxic injury, in order to mitigate toxicity of existing therapies as well as newer agents currently under development
