Gout is a great example of a condition attributed to lifestyle, but in reality, genetics and an individual’s biology plays a major role. Nice work @TonyMerriman2.
MWC members have played key roles in a major international study that has found gout is a chronic illness where genetics is a major cause. The work published in Nature Genetics was led by researchers from the University of Otago. For more details see

This is great news. Fadil’s research is advancing our fundamental understanding of the biology of human lactation.
Excellent news, as Professor Fadil Hannan's Oxford University centre receives £9million donation for essential lactation research!. The @NDMOxford received the donation from the Swiss Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation. Read more:

Does the brain make prolactin? - Journal of Neuroendocrinology This is a somewhat controversial topic, so I’ve written it as an opinion piece. Feel free to contact me if you disagree! I’m open to changing my mind if there is evidence I’ve missed.

While prolactin receptor (Prlr) is widely expressed in the brain (right), the equivalent evidence for prolactin expression is lacking (left).

So important to support our Society journals.
@bsneuroendo @JNE_Editor I was excited and delighted 🤗 to share our plans for @JNE_Editor with @bsneuroendo colleagues at #Aberdeen2024 to ensure it remains the premier journal for neuroendocrine research worldwide! Please send us your papers 📑 and ideas💡! @paneuroendo @INFneuroendo @KSUBrainHealth.
