DOGE @elonmusk approach feels like a surgeon trying to remove a small tumor using a saw instead of a scalpel, without pre-op imaging or taking a patient history, and also removing organs that aren’t diseased but that they just don’t like. And with med students doing the procedure

Cutting NIH funds hurts all Americans.
Why? Three main reasons:
#1: These funds support a huge industry in all 50 states. For every $1 of NIH funding generated, there is a short-term return of ~$2.46 in economic activity1. The $4B in cuts will take away $10B from the economy.

With support from a $4M grant, @Zuloaga_lab is leading a new study into how #menopause impacts #AlzheimersDisease, and if an estrogen therapy that targets the brain could help protect against #dementia. #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth albanymed.org/news/4m-nih-gr…

I love getting to collaborate with these amazing scientists @GabbyFredman @Zuloaga_Lab @barrosolab here at @AlbanyMed !! And it was a great day sharing our research with @RepPaulTonko - a true champion for science. #Research #Innovation #Collaboration
14 Oct 2024
We recently welcomed @RepPaulTonko for a discussion with @GabbyFredman, @barrosolab, @MacNamaraLab, and @Zuloaga_Lab about their collaborative research on aging, followed by a tour of the Fredman lab.

The result of a great collaboration with Yi-Pin Lin @c5486112 and support from @NIAIDFunding (and hard work from many @JesseBonin1). We were curious why Lyme disease outcomes are variable and we tested how co-infecting pathogens impacted pathology (& hematopoiesis!).

Checkout our recent work on the impact of infection with multiple tick-borne pathogens on hematopoiesis!

I'm excited to have this out in the world. Kudos to Rachel Grazda 🎉! We pursued the curious link between IFNg-dependent monopoiesis that accompanies bone marrow failure, and we began by asking why aren't dead cells being cleared? nature.com/articles/s41419-0…

We found heterogeneity among bone marrow monocytes, but in all populations, we found increased expression of SIRPa. Efferocytosis was ⬇️ in bone marrow failure and correlated with high prostaglandins and reduced pro-resolving lipid mediators. #FailedResolution
