Excited to share our new preprint. We are only beginning to understand the role of platelets in sex-biased immunity in glioblastoma. Grateful for awesome colleagues, collaborators and the fantastic mentorship from @gbm-maestro.bsky.social and @2scottish.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Platelets drive immune suppression and glioblastoma growth in a sex-dependent manner via PAR4 signaling
Sex differences in cancer outcomes, including glioblastoma (GBM), are shaped by biological, hormonal, and immune factors, influencing disease progression, treatment responses, survival, and the tumor ...

Thank you ISTH for the oppurtunity to present our work on sex biased platelet mediated immune surpression in GBM. A great few days of inspiring discussion with old and new friends. So much work to be done, but until next time. #ISTH

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget. go.nature.com/4gM6oW4

Revealed: NIH research grants still frozen despite lawsuits challenging Trump order
The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep a funding freeze in place, leaving researchers in limbo.

Roughly 9% of NIH employees fired yesterday - rumors are IC directors may be next. Please call your senators and representatives!

@hhmijanelia.bsky.social researchers led by the Spruston Lab have systematically tracked the activity of thousands of neurons over days & weeks during learning activities. They described, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain’s hippocampus – a region responsible for learning and memory.

To my friends and colleagues at UAB, IU, UF, FSU, UL, WashU, OSU, CWRU, etc, etc. Call both your senators and your representative. They listen. Emphasize the direct economic impact of NIH research, and the indirect impacts on pharmaceutical/biotech. Underscore its relevance to national security.
