What an amazing study that shows how 3 different subsets of achalasia patients' suffer from a loss of ENS structure -associated with subset-specific changes to their ENS neurogenic programs!

The case for continual #neurogenesis in adult #ENS, and its #clinical significance keeps building up

Differential Neurogenesis Status Among Achalasia Subtypes

The varying neurogenesis status across achalasia subtypes was suggested by the different counts of enteric neural progenitor cells (ENPCs), immature, and mature nitrergic axon innervation in the lowe...

Masterful takedown by @jeremymberg.bsky.social of an unserious article

Sigh!

Harvard Medical School ‘on track’ to cut research by 20 percent, dean says - The Boston Globe

The school's dean said the cuts are part of an overall effort to spend more efficiently amid federal funding cuts and a looming increase in the endowment tax.

A huge shoutout to all the dedicated grants management specialists at the NIH who are working around the clock to push grants out before the Sep 30 deadline. And also to the POs responding to frantic emails.
Not an easy job under the best of circumstances and right now it's the pits.
Thank you!
