96% humidity was a bit of a killer & so took it easy on the Northern Rail Trail: 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅

Flew into Boston late last night for the musculoskeletal GRS/GRC - hopefully, this short little run will get my musculoskeletal system (& brain!) going keep any jet lag at bay: 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅

Bit cooler today & even saw some puddles after last night’s rain! Friday short 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅

Still playing catch-up on sleep & rather warm out, but 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅

Been a good #PainResearch day for our lab in @phar.cam.ac.uk with 2 papers out in Journal of Neuroscience: 1. Led by @mayadannawi.bsky.social focuses on the impact of Prdm12 overexpression in adult sensory neurons www.jneurosci.org/content/earl..., walkthrough 👉 bsky.app/profile/psal...

AAV-mediated overexpression of Prdm12 in knee-innervating afferents reduces inflammatory joint pain and neuronal hyperexcitability in female miceInflammatory joint pain features in numerous musculoskeletal disorders that affect millions globally. The Prdm12 gene encodes a conserved zinc finger transcriptional regulator expressed selectively in...www.jneurosci.org

Excited to see our paper now out in J Neurosci @sfnjournals.bsky.social examining how MSC-EVs regulate sensory neuron activity. More info. 👇- congratulations all! www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Mesenchymal stem cell-extracellular vesicles deliver microRNAs that prevent nerve growth factor-induced sensory neuron sensitizationOsteoarthritis (OA) affects 600 million individuals globally, pain being a hallmark symptom. Emerging clinical evidence supports the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their extracellular vesicl...www.jneurosci.org

Another epic week in 🇨🇳 has finished: interesting meeting & knowledge exchange of all things animal research welfare related coupled with wonderful hospitality & sightseeing extravaganza…hopefully, this short 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅ on limited sleep will keep the jet lag at bay!

Warm & sunny start to the day in Hohhot: 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅

Great to be back in China for the CALAS International Symposium on the Welfare & Ethics of Laboratory Animals, myself & Cathy Wilson representing @phar.cam.ac.uk, talking about naked mole-rats & cardiac regeneration, respectively.

Arrived in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, late last night for 11th International Symposium on the Welfare and Ethics of Laboratory Animals - always great to be back in China, morning sleep-deprived river run should hopefully see of the jet lag: 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅

Sunday 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅

Happy #Caturday 😺😺😺

Greyer & cooler start to the day today: Friday short 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅

Such a cool piece of work, great seeing it finally out, well done Mohammed, Gary and team! Great to learn ever more about naked mole-rats!

Grey & breezy start to the day: 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅

Pleasant breeze, but still rather warm: 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅

Happy #Caturday 😺😺😺

Still too warm & insufficient sleep: Friday short 🏃🏻‍♂️ = ✅
