Fantastic resource!

🚨 New preprint from an ongoing collaboration with the Pang lab. Project led by rising stars @rohansavani.bsky.social and @lewang1.bsky.social showing how individual GLP-1R neurons in the paraventricular hypothalamus track ingestion across energy states. Preprint: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

(1/10) We’re excited to share our new preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2025...), which uncovers the spatiomolecular landscape of the human nucleus accumbens (NAc), by integrating snRNA-seq with Visium spatial transcriptomics across 10 control donors. 🧠 #NAcLIBD #snRNAseq #10xVisium

Oh to be a little Tardigrade scratching its back on a bubble. 🫧🐻🧪

The first complete activity map of decision-making in the animal brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists involving @uclqsion.bsky.social and @ucleye.bsky.social researchers. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/se... @kenneth-harris.bsky.social @carandinilab.net

We are proud of Omprakash Singh's new study just out in Cell Reports. Supported by Sepideh Sheybani-Deloui et al, Om's work identifies GHSR expressing SCN neurons as regulating food intake + feed efficiency at a single time of day, accounting for at least 7% of a mouse's BW doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

A partial list of papers using the AGR-021 antisera from @Alomone_Labs to detect "the GLP-1 Receptor"; this antibody does not detect the GLP-1R and completely lacks sensitivity and specificity. Free to read @Cell_Metabolism www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

A conference highlight is the Michael Harbuz prize lecture rwxofnising an outstanding member of the emerging generation of neuroendocrinologists. This year won by Dr Jo Lewis Univ. Cambridge. @joedwardlewis.bsky.social @jethwalab.bsky.social #BSNbradford2025

After years of work with @juliabelluz.bsky.social, it's hard to believe that our book FOOD INTELLIGENCE will be published this month! @barnesandnoble.com has 25% off pre-orders placed on Sept 3-5. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/food-intel...

Proud PI moment #2: Superstar postdoc @laurenjonesucl.bsky.social absolutely smashing her first conference presentation of her fascinating data on #semaglutide mechanism of action. #BSNBradford2025

Proud PI moment #1: @phoebeclax.bsky.social doing a stellar job in her first ever conference poster session, presenting data generated during her @bsneuroendo.bsky.social funded undergraduate summer lab experience project. #BSNBradford2025

Excited to share work led by my PhD student Hayley McMorrow now published in @jclinical-invest.bsky.social. Hayley showed that GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists rapidly inhibit AgRP neurons and that endogenous GIP is important for nutrient-mediated AgRP neuron inhibition. doi.org/10.1172/JCI1...

Great to see so many ECRs turning up to #BSNBradford2025 a day early for our career transitions workshops on academic branding and sci-comms. Looking forward to all the exciting neuroendocrine research from all our amazing @bsneuroendo.bsky.social ECR members, in person and on science bluesky! 🧠📈🧪

Heading up to #BSNBradford2025 and finalising slides for this afternoon's ECR workshop on academic branding and sci-comms. If that's not a great excuse for a bsky post I don't know what is... Looking forward to a great week of talks and catching up with everyone in @bsneuroendo.bsky.social!

This looks super useful and makes some gorgeous figures - great work! We've been dabbling with an in house pipeline that's very similar and had great results, so this looks like an excellent upgrade - can't wait to start playing with it.

The Commission is pushing for a massive increase in funding for Horizon Europe 2028-2034. If I understand correctly, Pillar I, which includes @erc.europa.eu and Marie Sklodowska Curie fellowships, would go from the current €25 billion to €44 billion. Let's hope it happens!
