暑すぎて…キティやちいかわも日焼け　グッズ完売連発 www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQO... サンリオはポムポムプリンやシナモロールなど約20体を小麦色に。背景にあるのが平成ギャルファッションのリバイバルブームです。 なかにはバッドばつ丸やハンギョドンなどわずかに「色味が濃くなった」だけのように見えなくもないキャラも。 東京・原宿の「ちいかわベーカリー」では日焼け跡のあるパンを求めて開店前から行列ができています。

近くのスーパーでサンリオのキッチンカー来てたから買ってみた😊 かわいいけど中身が紙の半分ぐらいしかなくて値段はかわいくなかった(笑) 息子は喜んでたからよしとするか😂

Delighted to share our latest review in Nature Reviews Neuroscience! We examine the growing evidence that vascular dysfunction plays a key role in cognitive decline in ageing and dementia, and argue that preserving/restoring CBF should be central to future therapies. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

paper alert: Our study on the role of astrocytic cAMP-levels on neurovascular coupling has been published and can be found here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Vittani spearheaded the project, and I had the pleasure of joining, initially for computational purposes, but also with single-cell 2P exps

Absolutely thrilled to share the first half of my PhD work! Super proud to see it finally out! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Thread below for a quick (10 point) recap of what we found! 🧵🧪🧠
