Last Friday, we celebrated the graduation of these two Masters of Science. Proud as punch! @bristoluni.bsky.social
Well done Mia and Iliana ⏰️ 🧠

Having a great day in exceptionally sunny 🌞 Nottingham, enjoying #PhysiologyofObesity2025 @physoc.bsky.social
Lots of great talks and networking, and an opportunity to present some new data on the circadian timekeeping in the brainstem 🕑 🧠 🍕

Had a lot of fun talking science over a pint @pintofscience.uk

A neuroimmune circuit mediates cancer cachexia-associated apathy Cachexia, a severe wasting syndrome associated with inflammatory conditions, often leads to multiorgan failure and death. Patients with cachexia experience extreme fatigue, apathy, and clinical depres...

1/ Why do patients with late-stage cancer lose motivation & sink into apathy?
🔥 Our new Science paper shows chronic inflammation activates a cytokine-sensing brain circuit that lowers motivation. Huge team effort: Aelita Zhu, Sarah Starosta, Pignatelli & Janowitz labs! 🧵

Thanks @jasonrihel.bsky.social for a wonderful keynote talk 🐟 💤

A comprehensive spatio-cellular map of the human hypothalamus - Nature HYPOMAP integrates single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic data to create a comprehensive spatio-cellular map of the human hypothalamus.

I am excited to share our latest paper @Nature where we construct a hi-res spatial map of the human hypothalamus, the brain region central in appetite control. It is a collaboration between @IMS_MRL @Cambridge_Uni & @MPI_Metabolism
