Liverpool is on the TOFU map📍
We’re recruiting our third patient in Treatment Exit Options for Non-Infectious #Uveitis, an international registry asking when and how treatment can safely be reduced or stopped once inflammation is controlled.
International collaboration matters!

A brilliant new @nature.com synthesis of what we know about Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis, which is non-linear, with discrete phases (Figure), and notable inflection and transition points. Also helps to explain why symptoms do not correlate with underlying pathology.

Later-born generations showed more advanced biological ageing in 154,169 UK adults @ukbiobank.ac.uk
Greater biological age gaps were linked to cancer before 55... a clue to rising early-onset cancer, though causality unproven.

Bald’s eyesalve was originally a 10th-century treatment for a "wen" in the eye (probably a stye), commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
Over 1,000 years later, the recreated remedy kills that very bacterium in laboratory studies.
