What a day - ⁦@uk_biobank⁩ now scanned 100,000 - when we dreamed about this back in 2009 I was not sure this was really possible. Grateful for the opportunity to co-lead the heart MRI part. ⁦@QMULBartsTheLon⁩ ⁦@HDR_UK⁩ #WHYCMR bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Huge congratulations to Dunja Aksentijevic, Professor of Cardiovascular Physiology and Metabolism @QMUL, on delivering a brilliant inaugural lecture last night: ‘Fuelling the heart: A metabolic tale of risk, resilience and repair’. @dunjaaks @QMULBartsTheLon

Thrilled to see Prof. Mike Murphy @Mito_Redox recognized at the @QMULWHRI Research Day! His groundbreaking work in mitochondrial biology has shaped the field & inspired so many. Grateful for his mentorship over the years. And what a moment seeing these two scientific giants meet!

A team finds that the #chemokine CXCL12 can support the production of #RedBloodCells in mice, suggesting that this pathway could be investigated for the treatment of disorders related to red blood cells. @stevenduke @GutjahrJulia @QMULWHRI scim.ag/446wONU

Although chemokines are known for their role in cell migration, new work in mice shows that CXCL12 also promotes the differentiation of #erythroblasts by promoting CXCR4 signaling and activity in the nucleus. @stevenduke @GutjahrJulia @QMULWHRI scim.ag/446wONU

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… We describe the hitherto overlooked expression of CXCR4 in erythroblasts, which do not migrate in response to CXCR4 ligation by CXCL12. Instead, CXCR4 localises to the nucleus and mediates alternative responses in erythroblast maturation and enucleation
