@AdamHBeasley If needed, the Dolphins could sign a player such as Josh Ball from that team's PS to their active roster.

Inflammation and microglia impact brain energy metabolism causing local changes in metabolism. Metabolic flexibility protects neuronal network function against alterations in local substrate availability during moderate neuroinflammation. https://t.co/rHff1XWkFx

UIC researchers led by Subhash Pandey of @uiccom found that adolescent drinking can lead to adult anxiety. Now, they've found an epigenetic factor that could help break that link:

Our latest @Nature paper is out! We show that transplanting mitochondria into endothelial cells boosts their ability to form blood vessels in ischemic tissues, with mitophagy as the key mechanism. A potential game-changer for vascular cell therapies. https://t.co/ViscFIc9sv

Obesity is associated with reduced cerebral blood flow:
🩳 Waist size +1cm associated with same reduction in cerebral blood flow as +1year age
🏃‍♀️ Higher levels of physical activity shown to potentially modify these associations

Fast food french fries are frying our brains.

A new study tested the effects of reheated sesame and mustard seed oil on first generation offspring of rats.

The reheated oils mimicked deep fried oils that are often used to cook foods like french fries at fast food restaurants.

These oils are known to lose their antioxidant value and accumulate peroxides, acrylamides, trans fats, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The study found that the reheated fries caused liver and colon damage in the rats, which lead to dysfunctional lipid metabolism.

Ultimately, the amount of DHA (An important omega 3 fatty acid) that the brain needs was decreased- which led to higher levels of neurodegeneration found in the female rats brains and their offspring.

Parents, please don't give your kids fries that have been cooked in reheated seed oils.

@WingfieldJenna @RangarajuVidhya @NatureComms @Puthanveettil_S @UFScripps @Ryohei_Neuro @MPFNeuro @ilikaghosh09 Do you believe that this SLAMR lncRNA is enriched only in CA1 neurons and not in CA3 neurons because CA3 neurons are only concerned with episodic memory that lasts seconds/minutes?

Long-term potentiation #LTP, that is necessary for memory formation, requires #CaMKII activation. Long non-coding RNA #lncRNA SLAMR regulates basal CaMKII activity.

Our lab's third paper is out @NatureComms

in collaboration with @Puthanveettil_S @UFScripps and @Ryohei_Neuro @MPFNeuro.

Our postdocs @WingfieldJenna and @ilikaghosh09 got together to trace the transport of the long non-coding RNA SLAMR into synapses during synaptic plasticity
