Even in these grim times, its a nice feeling when bulk of ur #PhD thesis bags you a 1st author #PNAS
Shoutout to everyone who stood by & supported & to all #phdstudents...Ur work mayb worth more than u think; keep aiming high & enjoying research, even when it gets tough. (1/2)
How do immune cells stop themselves from aging & stay young?
Turns out T cells can acquire telomerase from antigen-presenting cells and escape senescence!
Fascinating new anti-aging mechanism used by the immune system for long-lasting protection

It is generally accepted that fat tissues “talk” to the brain via secreted hormones. Our amazing student @yuwang, co-mentored by @liye_tsri, discovered that somatosensory neurons innervating adipose tissue act as a break to counteract sympathetic activity. https://t.co/vEBKGnohVu
The proofed version of our recent @CellCellPress paper has been made available online with all supplementary videos demonstrating technical aspects of the methods described.

@DrNeuroChic That's a fun new word! Especially in the aftermath of spending hours looking for neurons and tangles under the microscope, I end up seeing them everywhere in the macro world!!
We know the gut microbiome can influence the brain. @rossana_azzoni and I Spotlight a recent @Nature paper that indicates LPS from the lung microbiota is neuroprotective by influencing microglia function. The #LUNG-BRAIN axis! 🤯 @ImmunityCP https://t.co/IuWmRO3T0l @MonashCCS
@abrahamlabhms Wow! Amazing work. Congratulations to your team. Are alpha viruses only mosquito borne? And can environmental effect force a shift to other vectors?
Just saw a fellow #SCIENTIST step out of the University building, PULL the #Masks OFF to let go of a strong sneeze, wear the mask back on and walk off!!! Why?? Really?? #COVIDIOTS#MaskUp
Exercise increases levels of anti-inflammatory factors that may have a protective effect on the brain, according to observations in mice reported in Nature this week https://t.co/vFOE8VrI8B
@GaultierAlban @molpsychiatry Till we promote publication of negative results, how we know what does not affect?! In absence of this, other groups may have the same idea, keep spending time & money & keep realizing it does not impact & not be able to publish....the vicious cycle goes on!
And @wysscoray strikes again with this super interesting work || Exercise plasma boosts memory and dampens brain inflammation via clusterin https://t.co/KesSMUu5H0
@jonykipnis As a 1st yr postdoc excited for a new project,requested a mice line from a stalwart in the field(he generated the line);he said he's retired&passed it to one of his mentees(who's a PI)..the mentee NEVER EVER replied (even to repeated emails from my PI)! Had to shelve the project!
How did humans end up with such large, complex brains? In his latest blog, @NIHDirector Francis Collins describes the latest research to answer this question from the Allen Discovery Center for Human Brain Evolution. @ChrisAWalsh1 | #FrontierScience
