New research highlights a key sex difference in pain resolution: in males, androgen signaling promotes IL-10 monocytes that "switch off" pain after inflammation. Congrats to the Laumet Lab team on this fantastic paper! @geoffroylaumet buff.ly/61wyU5C

How do you think scientists could solve the primary limitation in neuroscience, according to @SuthanaLab – a lack of cross-species dialogue? bit.ly/4qSs6gd #PRF @_TheTransmitter, Illustration by mariacorte.com

I was extremely lucky to receive two RO1s in the current climate literally just before the fiscal year end and government shutdown🙏 I so wish this was the story of all academic scientists in the US. #savescience news.uthscsa.edu/school-of-d…

Interesting—this might work, but sympathetic side effects? Long-term use may be impractical. At 30 nM, what’s the exposure? Good to see opioid dependency here, though the controversy continues.

ICYMI: Good news! The House rejected the proposed 40% NIH funding cut. The bill released has NIH funded at $48 billion, almost identical to the Senate’s number of $48.7 billion.

Single cell seq studies typically use a single mouse strain. To determine how genetic diversity affects brain cell composition, we performed snRNA-seq on 14 different mouse strains.
Found that components of neurovascular unit-pericytes and endothelial cells-show greatest variation across strains.

New NIH research finds that chronic pain has surged 18% since before the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing the total to more than 60 million adults.
The findings highlight an urgent need to address this growing public health crisis. bit.ly/4oDid6c
