New paper out by @marcofe.bsky.social and team. We developed a new high-throughput live imaging platform to monitor circadian rhythms in up to 144 brain tissues. We are now using it to screen AD chronotherapeutics @ukdri.ac.uk @bioclocksuk.bsky.social advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Fresh off the press. Just flagging up a short opinion piece I wrote for Bioessays about astrocytes in sleep and circadian rhythms. It has been fun to write it! @circadiageing.bsky.social @imperialbrains.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Excited to be part of one of the BBSRC larger and longer grants with such a great team. Healthy circadian aging is healthy brain aging… @imperialmed.bsky.social www.ukri.org/news/bbsrc-i...

Rhythmic astrocytic GABA production synchronizes neuronal circadian timekeeping in the suprachiasmatic nucleus Natalie Ness, Marco Brancaccio and colleagues www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
hot off the press! this is the work of natalie ness and others in the lab. It turns out that rhythmic GABA produced by astrocytes act as a ”metronome” for the body clock. A pathway recently found to be altered in AD @ImperialBrains @UKDRI @ImperialMed www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
