Exciting potential for patients with #liver disease. Congratulations Andrew Brooks & your UQ Medicine team at #TRI

Growth hormone has been identified as playing a key role in reducing inflammation and increasing survival rates following liver surgery. tinyurl.com/ya9nldxk UQ Medicine

News: the #cytokine, #GrowthHormone, has been found to help boost #liver surgery success. Research led by UQ Medicine's #TRI-based Dr Andrew Brooks. Andrew Brooks Read more: tri.edu.au/news/growth-ho…

Cell signalling proteins could hold the answers to treating many diseases, especially #cancer. Find out more about #UQDI's #TRI-based Dr Andrew Brooks' #cytokine #research + potential new treatments for #liver surgery, #leukaemia & #lungcancer. ▶tri.edu.au/research_cytok…

Don't forget the importance of cytokines. We shouldn't pin all our hopes on a vaccine theage.com.au/national/victo…

A book is launched for Special Issue "Targeting #STAT3 and #STAT5 in #Cancer" (edited by Prof. Dr. Richard Moriggl, Prof. Dr. Patrick Gunning and Prof. Dr. György Miklós Keserü) mdpi.com/books/pdfview/…

Great to see our article "Growth Hormone Stops Excessive Inflammation After Partial Hepatectomy, Allowing Liver Regeneration and Survival Through Induction of H2‐Bl/HLA‐G" is now available as "Early View" in Hepatology aasldpubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/he…

Pre-proof of our latest review article available now. "GHR signalling: Receptor activation and degradation mechanisms". sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Melanoma still kills thousands of young Australians. We proposed a novel approach to improve immune therapy. We scored a 6 (!) but did not get funded - unprecedented!

Without NHMRC funding, my lab wouldn't have discovered NK checkpoints. 5 biotech & 2 pharma wouldn't be making therapies. 100's of jobs wouldn't exist, >$700M wouldn't have been invested, 1000's of cancer patients wouldn't have new hope #SaveOzScience #AdvanceAustraliaCare

Our article on the role of Growth Hormone and HLA-G in Liver Regeneration and Survival is out now in the latest issue of Hepatology. Thanks to all involved including Yash Chhabra Manuel Alejandro Fernández-Rojo Prof. Jamie Rossjohn aasldpubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/he…

Fantastic work by Birthe B. Kragelund on the structure for the full-length growth hormone receptor.

Delighted to share that I received the highly prestigious 2021 Christina Fleischmann award to young women investigators from ICIS 🦋 @cytokinesociety.bsky.social cytokinesociety.org/2021-christina… #cytokines #chemokines #interferons #inflammation #EMCR #WomenInSTEM #UQDI Translational Research Institute UQ Medicine UQ News

Very sad day for the group as it's Christine's last day. We wish her well with her move to Sydney where we are sure she will do great things.

Great to see this work now published and many thanks to sandra nicholson for having us involved in this important work on the regulation of cytokine receptor signalling. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to highlight work from our group and in collaboration with Birthe B. Kragelund and Fred Meunier. Tyrosine Kinases Compete for Growth Hormone Receptor Binding and Regulate Receptor Mobility and Degradation SSRN @cellpressnews Sneak Peek papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Excited to announce our latest publication is now online. Many thanks to the amazing collaborative team. We expect to our findings will be broadly relevant across the cytokine receptor family. cell.com/cell-reports/f…
