Our behemoth of a review is finally available! We detail humoral and neural communication mechanisms across the liver-brain axis in the context of chronic liver diseases and hepatic encephalopathy:

A recently published paper from my time at @UCLchildhealth, mapping dystrophin isoforms across the brain and characterising mdx23 mouse behavioural phenotypes. Thanks to all involved!

Still hearing a lot about “Blue Zones” being the secret to longevity.

But the theory was debunked a while ago.

Areas of the world with people claiming to be 110+ years old are actually just places with poor record keeping and a lot of pension fraud.

When official birth certificates are introduced, supercentenarian claims disappear…

Pleased to share our new paper implicating #interleukin 10 in perturbed #brain #microcirculation and #cognitiveimpairment in mouse model of type 1 diabetes. Congrats to the team @uvic, @sharmasorabh88, @UVicMedSciences, @NatMetabolism, https://t.co/Oidm5hBoii

Last week we welcomed Shiyam & Sumaiya for a laboratory tour, microscopy demo and mentoring session with our PhD Students @UnaRastovic & @MattRSiddle as part of the @KingsCollegeLon In-Reach Undergrad Mentoring Programme, great to have you both!

Could #AntimicrobialResistance be the incoming government’s next major challenge?

Dr Lindsey Edwards (@DrLAEdwards) from @kingsdentistry explains why #AMR should be top of political agendas. ⬇️

…and we wrapped it up yesterday with great talks from @sj_marzi and @PeteHarley95, covering epigenetic mechanisms in microglia and synaptic transmission in motor neurone disease #pint24

[Matt Siddle @MattRSiddle]

Two great nights of @pintofscience so far - on Monday, we had exciting talks from @laupellegrini and @errin_roy on brain organoids, followed on Tuesday by @adorrego_r on mitral cells in hearing, and @RobertHindges on amacrine cells in visual processing!

Thanks to @sj_marzi and @PeteHarley95 for two fantastic talks on neurodegeneration for our final #pint24 event!

[Matt Siddle @MattRSiddle]

My visual system may need studying after being stood right next to this demonstration of cell orientation.

Very cool. Very bright!

[Robert Hindges @RobertHindges]

@vimast86 @adorrego_r @rj_neuro @MattRSiddle I think this was my first talk using a light sabre….

[Vincenzo Mastrolia @vimast86]

Thanks again to @adorrego_r and @RobertHindges for tonight's splendid talks! And well done @rj_neuro and @MattRSiddle for hosting tonight's event!

Super nice when people asked me if they can use my repository for teaching. I always say yes.
