Just in time for #BCVS25, check out our latest #cardiac pub review 🫀 And if you’re at the conference, even better! Stop by Booth 22 to say hello to @kathaide.bsky.social and Andrew Klein, who are ready for all the heart-to-heart chats 👋 #cardiosky @ahascience.bsky.social

Study details

Can water-based exercise improve strength & mobility in people with visual impairments? A 2025 study says yes, and the results are empowering. #AdaptiveExercise #Inclusion

Read the paper by Salari, et al. (2025): journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

A recent study by the @cardiaccampbell.bsky.social‬ group investigated the mechanical, biochemical, and histological changes in ATTR amyloidosis patients, revealing that fibrosis, not just amyloid deposits, is a key driver of impaired heart function.

Data on individuals with Parkinsons riding bikes

🚴‍♂️ Have you ever wondered how individuals with Parkinson’s disease maintain balance while cycling—even when gait is impaired? #ParkinsonsDisease #CyclingRehab #dynamometry

A recent study tackled this question with a unique indoor cycling task. Let’s dive into what they found.

Brightly labelled pyramidal cells in the mouse retrosplenial cortex. Blood vessels are visible of various thicknesses in darker colours.

#neuroskyence folks: as my postdoc grant is running out soon, I am looking for new opportunities in systems neuroscience!

Keywords: patch clamp ephys, opto, mouse behavior, (in vivo) voltage imaging. Would love to return to the Basal Ganglia.

Sharing appreciated, and happy #FluorescenceFriday !

My linocut portrait of Marie Maynard Daly in purples (she’s a young smiling Black woman, wearing earrings, a necklace and a dress, looking at the viewer over her shoulder). Above her to the right is an anatomical heart with a blowout diagram in a circle of a clogged artery and the cholesterol molecule all in red. Next to her on the left in blue are the molecules of the bases which make up DNA and a diagram of a human cell.
