Excited to share our latest preprint, in which we developed and characterised adult rat brain slice cultures, which were then used as a model of haemorrhagic stroke. Lots of histology, imaging and RNA-seq!

A big thank you to the authors including @Neuroscience_Dr and @Dr_Bots

New systematic review of preclinical stroke studies finds that TGFβ1 improves outcomes in ischemic stroke populations, while worsening outcomes in hemorrhagic stroke. #AHAJournals @ben_hewitt97 @Dr_Bots https://t.co/FTf1Jv7J09

Earlier this year, we sadly lost Dr Richard Morgan, who had devoted much of his life to changing lives for people living #SpinaBifida and #Hydrocephalus. In his honour, the first ever Dr Richard Morgan Prize, was awarded today at the @mediaSRHSB conference to Carola McDonald.

IIH: A step change in understanding disease mechanisms. This Review summarises evidence suggesting that the condition is not idiopathic, but is instead related to systemic metabolic and hormonal pertrubations, and should be considered a metabolic disease.
