@exppect @DouglasGibson @horne_research @BSI_immunomet And finally, ecstatic to say my paper has been accepted! Here we show that immunometabolic remodelling of monocytes underpins functional changes in pregnancy. @fuvjones @Nickjonesimmuno @DaviesImmunoLab @B_J_Jenkins

A few days late, but thought I’d do a little recap on April, as it was quite a good one for research! 1/5

"Dismissed, ignored and belittled" The long road to endometriosis diagnosis in the UK.
The results of our recent diagnosis survey show that diagnosis times in the UK have significantly worsened over the last 3 years.

Great views to wake up to for the first day of #BSI23 in Belfast

[The Conversation @ConversationUK]

Research has observed multiple immune system changes in people with endometriosis.

Expert explains.

"Elevated inflammation levels also mean that women with endometriosis may be more likely to experience worse symptoms during infections."

[April Rees @aprilrees]

Here we show that a lipid ratio can be a marker of peripheral inflammation 🩸and can be tracked in pregnancy 🤰🏼. This marker is also perturbed by GDM, and can also be traced in the menstrual cycle! 🔄

[April Rees @aprilrees]

So excited that another paper from my PhD has been published! 🥳

The dynamic inflammatory profile of pregnancy can be monitored using a novel lipid-based mass spectrometry technique - now published in Molecular Omics https://t.co/ZSVZNDq66F

2022 has been a great year attending fantastic conferences and getting to celebrate the end of my PhD! So grateful to work with such an amazing group of people #2022inShort #academiclife
