Incredibly honoured to receive prestigious
@researchireland.ie funding to study developmental vulnerabilities in diffuse midline glioma (DIPG/DMG).

Huge thanks to my amazing mentor @jfcryan.bsky.social
Excited for what’s ahead!

Delighted to see our recent perspective in Trends in Molecular Medicine, part of @cellpress.bsky.social making the cover! In this perspective, we discuss the potential to exploit the gut microbiome to improve responses to current and novel brain tumour treatments. @jfcryan.bsky.social, Jack Gleeson

NLRP3-mediated glutaminolysis controls microglial phagocytosis to promote Alzheimer’s disease progression How NLRP3 impacts Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is unclear. McManus et al. find that NLRP3 is located at mitochondria where it regulates microglial metabolism. Depletion or chronic pharmacological inhibiti...

🎉 Huge congratulations to @roisinmcmanus.bsky.social and Michael Heneka on this exciting study uncovering a novel role for NLRP3 in regulating microglial metabolism and phagocytosis to promote Alzheimer’s disease progression www.cell.com/immunity/abs...

Age-associated microglial transcriptome leads to diminished immunogenicity and dysregulation of MCT4 and P2RY12/P2RY13 related functions Cell Death Discovery - Age-associated microglial transcriptome leads to diminished immunogenicity and dysregulation of MCT4 and P2RY12/P2RY13 related functions

Happy to be part of this new and exciting study from @bertrandjoseph.bsky.social lab @karolinskainst.bsky.social where we identify critical molecular determinants of microglial cellular aging, including SLC16A3 and P2RY13 www.nature.com/articles/s41...?
