King's scientists @theSeriousLab have developed a novel pipeline to create cell culture devices. The #SOL3D pipeline, published in @PLOSBiology, is cheaper, versatile, highly reproducible and “democratises” the use of #microdevices in research Read more⬇️ buff.ly/3PmbkpH

Researchers in @maxgabgut‘s lab have discovered a new way that specialised immune cells called macrophages fight back against tuberculosis (TB) infection 🦠 This discovery could open up avenues for new drugs to combat TB and other infectious diseases. crick.ac.uk/news-and-reports…

Check out this great news article @AdvSciNews featuring our recent study on axonal homeostasis and length using a bioengineered lab-on-chip system we created. None of this would have been possible without the great team @theSeriousLab and our amazing homes @TheCrick & @CCRB27.

Really happy to share that our paper on the role of axonal length in neuronal homeostasis has been now accepted and published in Advanced Healthcare Materials! Great news to get on a Friday... Check it out if you haven't already seen the preprint! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Hey Sci-Twitter! We did a thing... Interested in axonal biology and in vitro models? Or in motor neurons and stem cells? Or fancy to see a basic question on neuronal cell size into chased way down the rabbit hole with a bioeng platform? A mini thread... biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I love the research we do, and I have dedicated to it pretty much my every waking moment so far. But let's not kid ourselves: unless you are working right now on CoVid related stuff, your work can wait. So, let's use all the skills we are our teams have acquired to help.
If you are a scientist in any discipline and you want to contribute to the fight against COVID-19, we have created a platform to help you do so: crowdfightcovid19.org/ And if you're already working on COVID-19, this is also for you! More details in the thread 👇

We’re now advertising an exciting post-doc @EdinburghUni applying #SingleCell RNA-seq to dissect molecular mechanisms of #ASD in #hiPSC models. Come join us in this amazing city & great research environment. Apply by 11th October: bit.ly/2kfzdnD #SIDB @EdinUniNeuro
We were delighted to hear from John, who is living with #MND, at the #MNDEngage event @TheCrick. After John's diagnosis, his grandaughter told him "Don't let this disease define you!", a mantra he tries to live by every day. Thank you John for your truly inspirational talk. – at Camden Town, London
