Pleased to share our latest (now published), from star student Kamal Narayana. Lowering (not increasing) peri-infarct blood flow beyond 24h period, improved #stroke recovery by lessening blood brain barrier disruption and #neuroinflammation. See paper at: nature.com/articles/s41419-0…

Happy to share new paper from MSc grads Myrthe and Jenna. We asked the question, when part of the brain dies during stroke, what happens to local and distant cortical neurons that innervate the stroke site (in S1 cortex) or those that receive outputs? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Main findings: 1) dendritic spines in peri-infarct and ipsi motor cortex most disrupted by stroke but generally recover by 6 wks, 2) ipsi S2 and contra-lateral S1 show minimal changes despite extensive connections, 3) neurons innervating stroke site survive just fine (supp fig).

Happy to share our study on the beneficial role of the innate immune system on vascular remodeling in retinal disease and potential negative impact of steroids. @MasayukiHata7 @UMontreal @ARVOinfo @CIHR_IRSC @_BrightFocus @AmDiabetesAssn @iserworld pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…

That Trudeau would expect @cafreeland to deliver the FES after telling her ON FRIDAY he was firing her is peak chauvinistic arrogance. Wtf did he think she was going to do? LOL Then he sat around all weekend and released a vid of him baking buns. IDIOT

Excited to share our work, new in @ScienceMagazine: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…. We explored how sex chromosomes, gonadal hormones, and their interaction shape cellular responses in aging and #Alzheimers mouse models. This led to key insights on Tlr7 and neurodegeneration 🧵(1/5)

Replying to @WestJet
@westjet screwed us on our Europe trip. Of course no one is surprised by this. Canadians have few travel options and are forced to put up with this crap. Its especially bad for small city travellers that always have to make a connection vancouver.citynews.ca/2023/0…

Happy update. In response to losing a day of holiday and 1 night hotel in Paris, @WestJet offered us a $15 food voucher. They really do care!!

In diabetes, the capillary microvessels can become obstructed, leading to damage to neurons and cognitive deficits. A new mechanism elucidated involving interleukin-10 may help explain why @NatMetabolism nature.com/articles/s42255-0… @CraigEdBrown @MyUVic nature.com/articles/s42255-0… @celineriera
