UCMM congratulates Prof. Edlund’s group on their new publication in Scientific Reports (https://t.co/hjJvOcAFU4). “Our findings provide evidence that αSyn and IAPP co-aggregate both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a role for αSyn in β-cell amyloid formation” said Prof. Edlund.

Excellent point

[Carola Yovanovich @Caro_Yova]

Reminder for anyone coming across the daily paper/news making a fuss about "[animal X] glows in the dark".

Editors/journalists/scicomm-ers: if in doubt, reach out to people competent in vision, visual signalling, and/or environmental lighting. Many of us would be happy to help.
