'Teamwork makes the dream work'- This took on a whole new meaning with Ehsan Pishva @maastrichtu.bsky.social al and Tom Piers @CBS @exeter.ac.uk. This collaboration was so in sync that I'm starting to think we share a 🧠. 😉. Thanks for the good times and great results! @lsiexeter.bsky.social

1/1 Our recent research sheds light on how Alzheimer's disease interferes with communication between brain cells. We identified a specific pathway (Wnt/PCP-ROR2) contributing to synapse loss, a crucial element in cognitive decline. tinyurl.com/4vh2uk3x @jcellsci.bsky.social @lsiexeter.bsky.social

Happy New Year! I hope 2025 is good for you all. We start this year with a somewhat controversial review. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... Here, we discuss how a cell receives signalling receptors from neighbouring cells, allowing the receivers to transduce a previously unknown signal. 1/3

What a great PhD viva. Congrats Dr Sheng-yuan. And congrats to the ‚Doktorvater‘ @matthias-krause.bsky.social @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social It was a special exam filled with so many discussions about Wnt signalling with Sheng-yuan and Sebastian. The WntUK @wntuk.bsky.social community is growing.

It's okay to try an experiment, but if it doesn't work, you have to have the courage to discard the hypothesis and try a different approach. Maybe it's time to apply this basic rule to politics. Naively, I would say to the UK, join the single market and pronto! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Wow, this preprint made my day: tinyurl.com/5n8uk533. We find the Wnt receptor Ror2 on cytonemes tinyurl.com/28nnwwm3 and @zunlongke.bsky.social & @danieljleahy.bsky.social show EGF receptors on extracellular vesicles. Receptor spreading has vast consequences for our understanding of signalling.

And, please, take the international students out of the immigration statistics and waive their visa fees. That would improve your immigration numbers and fix the university system immediately. And we would not need to increase the fees for our home students.Thanks. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
