Intro time! I'm Ben, a postdoc at the University of Birmingham, studying fluid dynamics and ECM dysfunction following haemorrhagic stroke and in glaucoma. Main interests are in imaging, transcriptomics and ex vivo models! Happy to connect / chat. @academic-chatter.bsky.social @neurosky.bsky.social
Really pleased to share my latest paper - a systematic review of the differental role of TGF-β1 in stroke. Some really interesting findings where TGF-β1 improved outcome in ischemic stroke but worsened it in haemorrhagic. Please do read and share!

NYT, 2023 stunning new image of neurosciences. This is the activation of the rat brain cortex seen with functional ultrasound localization microscopy (fULM). The scientific paper related to the image: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
