If you haven't already... definitely worth a read 👇 (Despite our name, we fund biomedical research with applications in diagnostics and treatments too, not just prevention)
A key focus for the government is ‘sickness to prevention’. Ahead of the Labour conference, AMRC has published a spotlight report showcasing how our member charities are playing a key role in this space to prevent ill health. 🔗 https://t.co/LdRaeK7N0C

What's your earliest memory... and is it real? Start the week with this @bbcworldservice Crowd Science episode, featuring #ListerFellow Tomás Ryan @TJRyan_77
Do you remember when you were a baby? If so, scientists think those memories may not actually be real and that we can't remember the first few years of our lives - they it call infantile amnesia. But why does it happen? 🎧 https://t.co/6OVLjGV8zs

Wonderful paper in @Nature Communications stemming from something we hold very dear: creative collaboration between Lister Fellows! Fantastic work @theRAD_lab and David Bending 👏
Very pleased to share the latest data from the lab, out today in @NatureComms! We show brain infiltrating CD4 Tcells drive inflammatory #microglia proliferation during fungal meningitis, contributing towards early clinical symptoms https://t.co/T3WYYx9aeE

Great review on oocyte protein storage from former #ListerFellow Melina Schuh
How do #oocytes prepare for life before life begins? 🧬 Our new review in Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology @annualreview explores how oocytes store proteins to support development and fertility. (1/5) 🔗 https://t.co/nB3UQJSf84

Top work from #ListerFellow Chris Hill @chillzaa and team. Love the visuals 👀 Make sure you read the full thread!
Enteroviruses cause over a billion infections each year, but the details of how their genomes capture host ribosomes have remained elusive. I'm pleased to share a preprint from Miguel and colleagues, providing some new insights into this problem: https://t.co/IUypmVMMCN

#ListerFellow Joe Marsh and postdoc Mihaly Badonyi outline a new score that classifies dominant disease-causing mutations (half seem to act via loss of function). "Our structure-based approach... offers a scalable tool for predicting disease mechanisms..." they write. @jmarshlab
Find out more about a new online tool which allows researchers and clinicians to estimate likely disease mechanisms for sets of mutations, supporting better diagnosis and personalised medicine 👉 https://t.co/xLD5BEzGTM

New paper from #ListerFellow @TJRyan_77 and colleagues on mechanisms linking memory and adaptive behaviour. More on memory engrams 👉 https://t.co/4T6AOIlkS2 How mice remember the cold ❄️
Our new paper in @PLOSBiology on how innate 'ingrams' show plasticity with experience, resulting in engrams that reversibly alter adaptive behavioral responses to predator related afffordances in the environment. https://t.co/Em4FcRjlxi

Former #ListerFellow @dandavis101 publishes on NK cell immune therapy. "Here, we show that coengaging natural killer cell receptors CD16a and NKG2D with a single molecule restructures the immune synapse to enhance activation signaling."
Our new paper, in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, on a Natural Killer cell immune therapy, is just published here: https://t.co/v71c4CrV8w Nanoscale restructuring of the immune synapse with an engager enhances NK cell function
