Why women should sleep on their side in late pregnancy: Growth restricted fetuses who have chronic hypoxaemia experience a relatively greater decline in oxygen transfer when mothers lie supine in late gestation compared to appropriately growing fetuses. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

The gut microbiome influences metabolites, hormones and immune function Perturbing gut microbiota therefore impacts homeostasis across somatic tissues Could it also affect the reproductive system - and even offspring? See our results👇& tweetorial🧵 rdcu.be/dGpoc
Really interesting paper in Nature Immunology today (Broquet et al.) They found that people who recover from sepsis have a reduced cancer risk in the years that follow (vs. matched people with non-septic infections): This was recapitulated in a controlled setting in mice - mice…
Brilliant to be on the panel at the @TheBHF event ‘Epigenetics: Beyond Nature v Nurture?’ hosted by @JamesTGallagher in London this evening.
We are on our way! Looking forward to 4 days full of science, sea and sun :))
@QMULepigenetics labs: @LabRowe @BrancoLab @PradeepMadapura @deMendoza_Alex @ozgendeniz_ and Jenny Frost lab will be attending #ICTE2024. We are all excited about this meeting.
A review in Nature, by @candice_odgers, asserts that I have mistaken correlation for causation and that “there is no evidence that using these platforms is rewiring children’s brains or driving an epidemic of mental illness.” Both of these assertions are untrue.…
How do tumours evade destruction by the immune system? We are recruiting two postdocs (wet lab/dry lab) to shed light on epigenetic checkpoints of anti-tumour immunity in lung cancers in this collaborative project funded by @CR_UK. qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies… qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies…
2 weeks left to apply to join our group as a data scientist! Please DM for any questions.
We are looking for a postdoctoral data scientist position to join our supportive and fun group :) Join us @QMBCI in vibrant #London delve into the analysis of repetitive genome in #cancer! We support for visa applications, career and personal development!! jobs.ac.uk/job/DFN649/pos…
Can you please RT this to help me find a committed postdoctoral candidate to join our team? If they are passionate about signalling <-> epigenetic networks/injury/tissue repair/pre-malignant to malignant transition this is for them. 🙏jobs.ac.uk/job/DEI635/pos…
@BrancoLab Great presentation shows the fireworks of TE-regulated genes that are crucial for the development of the human placenta. Mostly from the work of @neverlethetruth published recently. nature.com/articles/s4159… #EMBOMobileGenome
Our vitamin C paper has now been peer reviewed! Once Kevin left our lab, finishing this relied on a fantastic team effort that I'm quite proud of. And it has made us wonder how else metabolites affect TE biology. …eneticsandchromatin.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
Follow-up to the very first paper from our lab. Yes, this one took a while and involved finding people's new email addresses... If you're wondering what vitamin C does to TEs, have a look. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Congrats @neverlethetruth, @BrancoLab and the rest for winning @blizard_inst's paper of the year!!! 👏🎉🙌 Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4159…
