Excited to share Sayantan's latest publication! The group found prolactin enhanced N-cadherin expression in the convoluted tubules and increased kidney volume. The findings show water stability is regulated by prolactin.

A labour of love. Congrats to Calum & colleagues for 6 years of research being recognized by their publication in eLife. The groups discovered that the gene DIO3 is essential for circannual timing in mammals. Work funded by @leverhulme.ac.uk

For an extra burst dopamine from my photo below look for the 6-petalled forget me not. If you have f-m-n in your garden look closely at the centres of the flowers. If they’re yellow they contain nectar,but when they’ve been pollinated they fade to white-tiny bees know which flowers have a snack in 🐝

Intranasal Oxytocin: Passing or not passing the blood brain barrier, that is the question.
Oxytocin, a hormone with well-established social effects, has garnered significant attention as a potential treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly autism. But can intranasal oxytocin truly reach the brain? This question lies at the heart of a major scientific controversy for the pa

Great talk on role of photic cues on avian migration at @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk PAW Seminar
Great talk by Dr. Jyoti Tiwari on how photic cues drive migration, sleep, and immunity in redheaded buntings. Her findings reveal how ALAN and noise pollution disrupt these processes, underscoring the need to preserve natural light-dark cycles. #PAWSeminar
