This is important: without urgent action clinical academia in the UK is at serious risk of dying out.

It is truly unbelievable - how long can this go on?

With universities unable to afford them, clinical academics across the country are being offered redundancy.
These are the people who teach our doctors and conduct ground breaking research.
More must be done to support them.

Interested in #oligodendrocyte metabolism and/or #multiplesclerosis? Our paper is now at Biorxiv! We show that oligos express MCT2, the high affinity monocarboxylate transporter, well known for supplying neurons with astrocyte-derived lactate (astro-neuron lactate shuttle)👇

Interesting paper on the role of KIF5A in axon biology - doi.org/10.1016/j.nbd.2024.1… - similar structural and mitochondrial transport findings to those we found in #astrocyte processes in KIF5A deficiency: doi.org/10.1038/s42003-023-0… in Communications Biology.
