Excited to share @SeanBurnap's latest work in our lab, about the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and high-density lipoproteins! #XLMS#HDL

Excited to announce that our lab has officially moved to the @imperialcollege as a member of the Sir Michael Uren Hub. Looking forward to great advancements in #cardiovascular#proteomics#research.

Delighted to share perhaps the last of my work to come from my time in the Mayr lab @Vascular_Prot. Here we used cross-linking mass spectrometry #XLMS to uncover interactions between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and high-density lipoproteins #HDL. https://t.co/JxxaPSMjqT 🧵1/7
It was such a great honour and pleasure for all of us to have Sir Magdi Yacoub visiting our lab today! @DrMagdiYacoub thank you for your contribution to #medicine and #science 🙏
GODDAMN!
Ecuador just absolutely obliterated Russia at the UNSC. It was so bad that Lavrov walked out 🔥🤌
Thank you Ecuador, for your principled stance & your defense of international law by calling out Russia for what it is. You are showing true leadership 👏🏼

@atvbahajournals@Vascular_Prot@cardiacjoshi We are looking at ways to better assess in vivo platelet reactivity, i.e. with circulating microRNAs that integrate platelet activation over time. Stay tuned!
@atvbahajournals@Vascular_Prot@cardiacjoshi Elevated S100A8/A9 levels reflect neutrophil activation. Platelets get pre-activated by neutrophil activation, leading to a "platelet exhaustion phenomenon" during ex vivo testing. This would explain challenges with using aggregometry to guide antiplatelet therapy in acute MI.
@atvbahajournals@Vascular_Prot@KingsCollegeLon@TheBHF This study in Blood from colleagues in Birmingham identifies S100A8/A9-GPIbα axis as a novel targetable pathway that induces procoagulant platelets and fibrin formation, particularly in diseases associated with high levels of S100A8/A9.
@atvbahajournals@Vascular_Prot@KingsCollegeLon@TheBHF Discovery science is full of surprises - new findings often raise more questions than answers! 🤔 But this is a nice study that may partially answer this point: S100A8/A9 drives the formation of procoagulant platelets through GPIbα https://t.co/j4vXA7q9zV
