Investigating the biological mechanisms underlying immune impairment after stroke to reveal potential therapies for patients.

Proud to have this paper to be out, congratulations @KPrameKumar @MonashCID @SCSMonash, supported by funding from @heartfoundation @nhmrc @CSL.
Ischemic stroke can lead to gut dysmotility by activating the sympathetic nervous system, changing intestinal nerve function. In mice, blocking this activation prevented dysmotility. Next: targeting nerve changes to improve patient outcomes. #AHAJournals

Check out the work of @KPrameKumar in collaboration with @sim_scientist @Dan_Poolio and @MHickey_IVM @MonashCID @SCSMonash. We revealed an underlying mechanism that mediates stroke-induced gut dysmotility.

Check out the work of @KPrameKumar in collaboration with the fantastic folks in @abud_helen's group. We discovered a previously unknown mechanism in brain-gut axis by which stroke triggers intestinal cell death and gut permeability. @MonashCID @SCSMonash

Proud to be part of the @MEGASCORES2022 team to work on translational and transformative research.
Dr Cameron Barstow from @cwonglab gives a great talk on development of a novel mouse model of live Gram-negative sepsis to assess interactions between vital organ-specific innate immune cells and bacteria with & without ascorbate🦠 using intravital microscopy @M_Plums @Yugeesh_L

Looking forward to it 😀.
A/Prof @cwonglab will be speaking at the #GINSymposium on the brain-gut-axis after stroke. Connie and her team discovered that stroke not only damages the brain but weakens the immune system and allows bacteria in the gut to escape and cause infection in other parts of the body.

Super grateful for the funding support from @nhmrc. Will be fun leading the project with @shueywen @MonashCID @SCSMonash to unravel brain-lung axis in stroke.
Congratulations to the @nhmrc Ideas Grant recipients. MNHS secured over $33m supporting innovative research projects from discovery to implementation. Read more here: .#ThrivingCommunities
