It’s exciting to share our review on oligodendrocyte lineage cells and their fate regulation by calcium. What a fun experience brainstorming and putting togather this piece with Kelly Monk, Jiaxing Li and Fred Fiore. cell.com/trends/neurosc…

Parasites need mitochondrial respiration to cause disease. Indeed, common anti-malaria drugs target respiratory enzymes (e.g. atovaquone). But how do the parasite enzymes work and how do drugs inhibit them? Read Andrew Maclean and Alex Mühleip phenomenal work to find out! 👇

This systematic review and meta-analysis finds that, in adults with overweight, obesity, or metabolic abnormalities, effectiveness in weight loss mainly depends on the extent of the energy restriction, regardless of the mealtime patterns.

We are all saddened to hear the news about the passing of Prof. Bill Blakemore. Bill was a champion of myelin and MS research, his work deepened our understanding of remyelination and has given us models to study it. Rest in peace, Bill. Our deepest condolences. Cambridge University

Now published in the June issue Nature Neuroscience I am especially happy that the artwork my 4-year-old son created (with a little help) was chosen for the cover. #Glial cells in diverse hues as paint splotches, CD8+ #Tcells in red, aberrant #myelin in purple. Thanks Elisa Floriddia & co!

🌟Huge thanks to Fredy Pancca and the @RRF for the support to do this collaborative work. So excited to see it recognised at #EULAR2025!! Looking forward to the great work ahead with the @cSLE T2T Global team!

This is an absolutely beautiful version of one of the Beach Boys’ greatest songs (the one that is sung by away fans at most football grounds most weeks. Fair to say the lyrics of the BBs somewhat more tasteful) RIP Genius … there are few greater legacies than great music

My lab was totally destroyed tonight by an Iranian missile. Nobody was hurt. Flies, plasmids, cells, equipment - all gone. Heart breaking. If during the course of the past 16 years, you have received something from my lab - please keep them safe.
