A small 🧵 encouraging people to publish protocols. Our #AutoSpectral release has made me reflect on how much the community tends to appreciate protocol papers. People rarely present protocols as their main work, but they are often the most impactful biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Pre-print alert! And this one really is a must read for anyone that does spectral flow cytometry. It is a complete, fully-automated spectral unmixing pipeline that reduces error up to 9000-fold. Want to get a tough sample, like lung, looking like this? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I attended a Ska/2 Tone revival concert yesterday. This morning, and thinking about it, I find it depressing how the movement's essential message is still relevant and still needed. Great band, though.

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibra…

Beware commercial tissue based assays (TBAs) to detect cell surface autoantibodies in neurology. TBAs are often used as screening tests and are reader dependent. Bottom line: please think clinically when diagnosing autoimmune neurological syndromes pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4039…

A huge privilege to participate in the @ARUKscientist debate, discussing hope for future treatments for devastating dementias but also practical barriers to delivering current therapies both in NHS @CPFT_NHS and privately @spirehealthcare that need to be overcome for a true cure
🔥 Burning debate incoming! Expect a lively discussion on the most pressing issues in dementia research. What’s your take on today’s big topics? #ARUKConf25

About half of patients with NPH and parkinsonism have an abnormal DaT SPECT, but they do not have nigrosomal loss like in PD! Is their parkinsonism from mechanical disruption rather than neurodegeneration? Check out this cool study! tinyurl.com/4k7bkd5b
