Pre-print on CD31+ T-cells and advancing age. We found that CD31+ T-cells may offer angiogenic properties due to expressing greater VEGF-A levels than CD31- T-cells, yet this is exacerbated with age - which may reflect a pathological inflammatory phenotype biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Why is it that it is 2026, and when submitting a manuscript, you still have to include code for special characters on a submission portal?!

Research has an economic return multiplier >1. So taxes don't even really pay for research. Research more than pays for itself, the taxes are just used to kick-start the positive economic cycle. The more money invested in research, the better the economy.

It’s been a rocky 2 years but the human tissue lab is finally complete (other than some paperwork for health and safety!). Thanks to everyone involved and looking forward to getting back in the lab! Thanks to @thermofishersci.bsky.social for the equipment and Beckman Coulter for the amazing flow!

Hi BlueSky #immunology folk! Advice- Looking to develop method to isolate immune cells from human muscle biopsies. Issues arise with cleavage of certain receptors. Any suggestions? Currently planning working with Collagenase B, but has its limitations. Thanks!

There is significant variation in the progenitor cell response to exercise. A contributing factor to this variation is cardiorespiratory fitness. The fitter you are, the higher the absolute intensity you exercise at, resulting in more progenitor cell mobilisation

Last week I was at the @heriotwattuni.bsky.social Dubai campus for week 2 of the Global Leaders Programme. Lots of learning from a great bunch of people from various disciplines and services at the University, in a truly stimulating programme. Beautiful campus, and outrageous city.
