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! 👇






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!



If you have just finished or about to finish your PhD and are looking for a postdoctoral experience working on the interplay between oligodendrocytes, myelin and the immune system in Spain and consider applying for a Marie Curie fellowships, contact me! …sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/actions/postdo…
