🚨 New findings! 🚨Maternal inflammation doesn’t just change the cellular makeup of the developing human cortex—it extensively remodels its extracellular matrix. In our latest work, we dive deep into the effects of IL-17A, key cytokine in maternal inflammation, on developing🧠.🧵

Wonderful presentation by David Berg from @aberdeenuni on how using human tissue and 3D organoid modelling helps understand better the neurogenic niche of the developing dentate gyrus and its relevance in neurodevelopmental disorders 👏 #AnatSocSummer25 #AnatSocOxford

It was so inspiring to listen to your journey. Your efforts and perseverance in expanding the repertoire of iPSCs lines through recruiting donors from African ancestry and developing iPSC lines are highly commendable. Looking forward to learn from your experience!

Great representation from Aberdeen at the #AnatSocSummer25 Cortical Development meeting in Oxford. Fantastic talks and posters from our team, proud to share a few highlights! Thanks to @anat_soc for a brilliant meeting.

Now over to @drzamankhan from the @aberdeenuni , who will talk to us about ‘IL-17A Alters Human Cortical Development in a 3D Ex Vivo Model of Maternal Immune Activation’#AnatSocSummer25 #AnatSocOxford

Proud of the newly graduated @DrZamanKhan — well done and well deserved! 👏🎓 #Graduation #Neuroscience #TeamSuccess @aberdeenuni @neural_lab #ClassOf2025

I have an exciting fully funded 4 year PhD studentship available in my lab from October 2025 at Cardiff UKDRI. If you are/know someone interested in iPSC, genetics and Alzheimer's disease please take a look and/or share widely. @UKDRI @ARUKscientist findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am truly grateful. It’s been a journey shaped by collaboration, challenges, and a shared commitment to making science more inclusive. I am equally looking forward to learning from and working alongside inspiring scientists like you!

Including an interesting panel discussion on advantages and limitations of existing iPSC models @neural_lab. It appears, however, that there are many outstanding questions in the organoid field that require further discussions and consensus in the field.

Enjoyed amazing three days of brilliant science at Stem Cell Models of Neurodegeneration Conference 2025 #SCMND by @UKDRI . Congratulations @bowles_lab for organizing such a wonderful meeting. Wonderful plenary talks by Dr Sonia Gandhi, @mahmoudbukar and @Sergiu_P_Pasca
