“Our study establishes that the hundreds of bacterial species that are rare or missing in industrialized microbiomes were ancient companions of ours as we migrated around the globe, likely passed from generation to generation for millennia,” said Justin Sonnenburg, PhD, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford Medicine. https://t.co/ksUrr9ilZn

Salm, Lopez, Kubes et al. @UCalgary @queensu reveal that peritoneal #mastcells, activated by sensory neurons, extend #cytonemes that hand off extracellular condensate to neighboring #macrophages, driving rapid aggregation & a repair phenotype. https://t.co/hmRbiOglne

[Lilian Salm @lilian_salm]

Out today in @JExpMed: sensory nerves activate peritoneal mast cells, which extend 100 µm cytonemes to hand extracellular condensates to macrophages — driving aggregation and repair at abdominal injuries. With @MonicaAidaLopez, @Kubes_Lab & a wonderful team 🧵

Big breakthroughs in brain and mental health start with fundamental discovery.

Dr. Mats Ambrozkiewicz studies how the brain develops at the molecular level, focusing on how protein signaling pathways help guide the precise timing of brain development. https://t.co/hBlAYXwqse

@MAmbrozkiewicz Yeahhhh welcome officially

[Arthritis Society Canada @ArthritisSoc]

🍁🔬 Canada’s top health research funder increased overall investments by 22% since 2017

💰⬇️ Arthritis-specific research funding has dropped 40% — receiving just 1.23% of its budget

[Arthritis Society Canada @ArthritisSoc]

Arthritis breakthroughs are at risk — unless we invest now. 🔬

Arthritis affects more Canadians than diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and dementia combined — yet research funding is declining. 📉
