Congratulations to Dr. Rory Long, who successfully defended his thesis yesterday! Rory pulled out his project independently, and found that malaria products decrease secretion of Ang-1 in brain pericytes in complex 3Dmodels, and tested therapies that restore ang-Tie2 axis. Cannot be more proud!!!

The Kowalinski group's latest study on trypanosome parasites reveals significant differences between the trypanosomal and human nuclear cap-binding complex. This key player in cellular RNA metabolism could be a potential target for novel anti-parasitic drugs. www.embl.org/news/science...

Not all astrocytes regulate blood-brain barrier integrity, but those expressing Dmp1 apparently do ! #cerebrovascular #BloodBrainBarrier www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We are very excited to announce a new @events.embl.org conference with a general focus on all infections with the goal to foster discussions across researchers working on multiple pathogens. We couldn't find a conference as such in Europe, so we decided to organize it 😊 www.embl.org/about/info/c...

Academics wanting to 'verify' their Bluesky profile as genuine might give an ORCID identifier in their profile and link back to their Bluesky profile from ORCID. #AcademicSky

Oye @larevueltatve.bsky.social que estoy preparando un hilo para convenceros de que sería un acierto llevarnos a @claragrima.bsky.social y a mí para contaros la historia del descubrimiento de los #escutoides. Os garantizamos que no tenemos ningún contrato en exclusiva con “otra gente” y vamos fijo.
