Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease that is estimated to affect around 1% of the UK population. It is caused by a malfunction of the immune system, which instead of protecting the body against danger starts attacking its own healthy joints. (🧵1/4) #rheumatoidarthritis

Osteoarthritis has historically been described as a disease of “wear and tear”, however, this idea is outdated. Studies have shown that OA results from a collection of events within the joint that actively destroy the joint tissues, leading to pain and disability. (🧵1/5)

Day 4 #SciArtINK: Meningitis
A bit behind on my prompts but trying to catch up! Went with a more realistic style this time.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective layers (meninges) of the brain and can be life-threatening!... Learn more at instagram.com/adjuv.art

Now that my PhD is coming to an end, it's very gratifying to look back and see not only how much I've learnt, but how I've contributed to our research field! Thanks to @horsetrust for funding this work and @CIMA_Ageing for the opportunity to present our research! @LabPeffers

Day 2 #SciArtINK: Lyme disease
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks infected with Borrelia burgdorferi. So here's a quick drawing of a tick...which, in all honesty, I still find disgusting even though I am a vet and I am not supposed too!!
