New research highlights a key sex difference in pain resolution: in males, androgen signaling promotes IL-10+ monocytes that "switch off" pain after inflammation. Congrats to the Laumet Lab team on this fantastic paper! @geoffroylaumet https://t.co/885zG3oScx

NIH's National Institute on Aging is seeking proposals for compounds to be tested through the Interventions Testing Program (ITP), which measures the ability to extend lifespan and/or delay the onset of diseases.

Applications due Feb. 27, 2026.

I was extremely lucky to receive two RO1s in the current climate literally just before the fiscal year end and government shutdown🙏 I so wish this was the story of all academic scientists in the US. #savescience https://t.co/Hk5ZTC1Qkb

Interesting—this might work, but sympathetic side effects? Long-term use may be impractical. At 30 nM, what’s the exposure? Good to see opioid dependency here, though the controversy continues.

ICYMI: Good news! The House rejected the proposed 40% NIH funding cut. The bill released has NIH funded at $48 billion, almost identical to the Senate’s number of $48.7 billion.

Single cell seq studies typically use a single mouse strain. To determine how genetic diversity affects brain cell composition, we performed snRNA-seq on 14 different mouse strains.
Found that components of neurovascular unit-pericytes and endothelial cells-show greatest variation across strains.

New NIH research finds that chronic pain has surged 18% since before the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing the total to more than 60 million adults.

The findings highlight an urgent need to address this growing public health crisis. https://t.co/AwDJvxvnzk
