Preprint update alert!
Reduced enteric BDNF-TrkB signaling drives stress-dependent glucocorticoid-mediated GI dysmotility
Stress is a key contributor to gastrointestinal (GI) dysmotility, particularly in patients with disorders of gut-brain interactions (DGBI). Since GI motility is governed by the enteric nervous system ...

just listened to Dr. Drew Weissman’s talk today. Amazing science & his passion on vaccine therapeutics equity touched my heart. I agree that collective advancement of biotechnology by helping other countries to establish their own platform and research facilities will be critical combating dieases

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.
Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?
