Data from this study by Isabel Bravo-Ferrer and colleagues paves the way for future studies to investigate how region-specific blood-brain barrier dysfunction may contribute to disease-associated regional vulnerability in the brain.

I’m sooo excited to share our latest article led by Steve Hill and Isabel Bravo-Ferrer
1- How does the vasculature communicate with astrocytes?
2- Is this communication dependent to what happens in the body.
3- Is it relevant to human diseases?

Happy to share the video Isabel Bravo-Ferrer and Katrine Gaasdal-Bech made to summarize the findings of our manuscript in Brain Communications (academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...) Age-dependent regional differences in features of the brain vasculature, including endfeet 💙!

Happy to announce that from 1st Dec I will join the University of Manchester @manchester.ac.uk as a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow @ukri.org, where my group will develop a new theoretical framework for Digital Endocrinology. I'm also looking forward to explore such a beautiful city! 🐝 (1/2)

Fresh off the press. Just flagging up a short opinion piece I wrote for Bioessays about astrocytes in sleep and circadian rhythms. It has been fun to write it! @circadiageing.bsky.social @imperialbrains.bsky.social

Around the equinox, we see an increased interest in how biological rhythms are affected by light. UK #Chronobiology academics have been communicating the research on this for over a decade now - check out this timeless podcast episode on rhythms: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

🚨 Delighted to announce I have been awarded a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship to advance Digital Endocrinology! I will use mathematical and computational tools to bring endocrinology into the era of precision healthcare. Will soon be recruiting PDRAs and PhDs, stay tuned! www.ukri.org/news/ukri-an...

What makes you tick?

We talk about #circadian rhythms and the biological clock like we already know what's going on, but there's still so much to learn about this fundamental process!

🚨New publication alert!

🧠 Findings from a recent paper in The Lancet Healthy Longevity show that the DREAMS START intervention for improving sleep in people with dementia is not only clinically effective but also cost-effective compared to treatment as usual. 🧵1/2

McGill research in mice suggests that disrupting internal clocks during adolescence may trigger behavioural and genetic changes linked to brain disorders in at-risk individuals. ⏰
