Does everyone know there is a comment period re: changes in animal research at NIH? I didn't. Closes July 14. The scientific community need to respond en masse. I asked university leadership to distribute to reach our colleagues not on social media, you can too go.pardot.com/e/858023/duc...

Central nervous system injury-induced chronic pain affects millions of people. A delayed-onset pain-like response is observed following selective corticospinal lesions. Xiaofei identified a key role for corticospinal control of deep dorsal horn interneurons in pain. www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Neuropathic pain-like responses in a chronic CNS injury model are mediated by corticospinal-targeted spinal interneurons

Chronic neuropathic pain is a persistent and debilitating outcome of traumatic central nervous system injury, affecting up to 80% of individuals. Post-injury pain is refractory to treatments due to th...

NIH plans to slash support for indirect research costs, sending shockwaves through science Capping these payments would ‘just grind our scientific complex to a halt,’ one researcher said @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/n...

NIH plans to slash support for indirect research costs, sending shockwaves through science

The NIH said Friday night that it would slash support for indirect costs on all existing and future grants to 15%

Glia!? We work on glia now? Awesome work by @anavivinetto.bsky.social modulating conserved mechanisms of wound healing in the spinal cord. But please, take the astrocytes with you to your own lab. urldefense.com/v3/__http://...

Acute Extrinsic Activation of the RANKL Pathway Decreases Wound Healing and Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury in Mice

Acute, intrathecal delivery of RANK ligand (RANKL) negatively impacts wound healing after spinal cord injury. Intrathecal RANKL disrupts tissue remodeling, locomotor recovery, and alters reactive...

So, this is finally online. Word of advice, never listen to the tech who says the mice have almost recovered, just give me a few more weeks..

🤯😱“Many journals invite authors to submit names of possible reviewers along with their manuscript. Authors can abuse this system by suggesting real scientists with relevant expertise but supplying fake email addresses they have created or have access to.” www.science.org/content/arti...

‘It felt very icky’: This scientist’s name was used to write fake peer reviews
