The Citizen Kane of Neuroscience
This is a time lapse of a developing neuron captured by Santiago Ramón y Cajal more than 100 years ago. He drew it by hand while looking through his microscope.

It's been fun, #BIOM4180 🫀 class! Hopefully, we all continue to share the knowledge on all things science, even after the semester concludes! Scientific communication is key to spreading awareness and understanding to the public! 🔬🥼

It is fascinating how interconnected pathologies are and how they affect systematic conditions. Medications are no different. Psoriasis patients have high cholesterol due to immune cells linked to hyperlipidemia https://t.co/WhsHABKz2r via @AJMC_Journal #biom4180

[Kaitlyn Jackson @_kaitlynjackson]

@nisura_k The inflammatory response caused by #psoriasis can inflame the blood vessels and lead to atherosclerosis. Some treatments for psoriasis can also increase #cholesterol levels which increases CVD risks even more. It's good to be aware! #biom4180 https://t.co/4jY9c6G0CR

#LacunarStrokes are small, "silent" strokes that can lead to long-term disability over time. Recently, Dr. Markus and his team at UC have discovered 12 genetic regions connected to these strokes, which will help develop new treatments! #biom4180 https://t.co/dqXl3XvyPV

Why are COVID-19🦠 survivors experiencing blood clots? It turns out there is a prolonged immune response, causing blood vessel damage via cytokines. Post-recovery monitoring can help prevent these clots before serious complications.🩸 #biom4180 More here: https://t.co/18UZrbPhOF

Do you recall the exact moment you realized that you'd #choosecardiology? Dr. Saima Karim (@skarim01) remembers assisting in the placement of an atrial lead and knowing she was meant to pursue CV medicine.

@amelia_norman4 Researchers believe #estrogen helps improve the blood vessel linings & control cholesterol. Endometriosis, however, is accompanied by altered estrogen. More research needs to be done on this relationship and how it effects heart disease! #biom4180 https://t.co/8jq1USRVSH

Acute kidney injury has been associated with a TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement), commonly used for aortic stenosis. This recent study demonstrated that, on the contrary, >80% of TAVR patients showed stable/improved kidney function! #biom4180 https://t.co/JurJ4DTZEB

Woah! Good to be aware of the varying impacts pro-inflammatory foods can have on your heart health! #biom4180

[American College of Cardiology @ACCinTouch]

Researchers are increasingly recognizing that chronic inflammation is an underlying cause of many health problems. A recent #JACC study found that people who ate a diet containing pro-inflammatory foods had a 46% ⬆️ risk of #heartdisease. @washingtonpost: https://t.co/7YNxNCFjEq

[Kaitlyn Jackson @_kaitlynjackson]

With the legalization of #weed in 🇨🇦 the usage is increasing. However, there are risks when it comes to someone with #CVD, such as interactions with 💊. If you have CVD, cannabis use should be discussed with your Dr to ensure safety of treatment! #biom4180 https://t.co/5LjaBZFgAx

[Kaitlyn Jackson @_kaitlynjackson]

@TiffanyAyoub3 I was wondering how vitamin D deficiency can lead to #CVD complications... this article explains that Vitamin D can actually inhibit inflammation & vascular calcifications, regulate BP and much more! I'm ready to #soakupthesun ☀️😎 #biom4180 https://t.co/GJUxSC5noB.

Are you or is someone you know a thrill seeker with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?🎢🪂 Generally, those with this condition are told to avoid thrilling activities, but this study found that these activities actually rarely cause adverse effects! #biom4180 https://t.co/ulW30QfntP
