Well done to Ben Hewitt, PhD and Lauren Roberts for their lovely presentations at the SRHSB meeting in Manchester! Inflammation and Ageing College of Medicine and Health (UoB) Roslyn Bill

Earlier this year, we sadly lost Dr Richard Morgan, who had devoted much of his life to changing lives for people living #SpinaBifida and #Hydrocephalus. In his honour, the first ever Dr Richard Morgan Prize, was awarded today at the @mediaSRHSB conference to Carola McDonald.

Excited to share our latest preprint, in which we developed and characterised adult rat brain slice cultures, which were then used as a model of haemorrhagic stroke. Lots of histology, imaging and RNA-seq! A big thank you to the authors including A/Prof Lisa Hill and Hannah Botfield

New systematic review of preclinical stroke studies finds that TGFβ1 improves outcomes in ischemic stroke populations, while worsening outcomes in hemorrhagic stroke. #AHAJournals Ben Hewitt, PhD Hannah Botfield ahajrnls.org/3TNQPnJ
