📣 Check out our latest paper including my #PhD work investigating the #DisposableSomaTheory
Thank you to my supervisors @JohnSpeakman4 and Sharon for all their support 🎉
🛑 PAPER OUT: Our new @PNASNews paper is out where we find no evidence for residual long-term physiological effect of reproduction on survival in mice, challenging the disposable soma theory. Led by @JohnSpeakman4 @aberdeenuni @UFPR

Scientists have taken an important step forward in understanding the mechanisms by which adenovirus-based vaccines, including some of those used in the Covid pandemic, can cause serious adverse reactions. abdn.io/35
Delighted to share that our manuscript on fibrinogenolysis & fibrinolysis in VITT patients was accepted by @JTHjournal
Check it out at the link below!

Patients with Vaccine-induced Immune Thrombocytopenia & #Thrombosis (VITT)
▶️disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) displaying plasmin-α2-antiplasmin complex
& plasmin generation ▶️ fibrinogenolysis, fibrinolysis ➕ FXIII consumption.

#ISTH2022 Check out the Platelet session today in ICC Room 7 to hear about the role of platelet derived FXIII from @JoMitchell88
Really looking forward to presenting my work today at 10.45am on the role of platelet FXIII-A in platelet function in the ‘Platelets and MKs as prothrombotic targets’ session at #ISTH2022. Come along if you want to learn more about platelet FXIII-A 🩸
Pop by my poster to hear about our recent JTH paper on COVID-19, hypofibrinolysis and PAI-1 tonight #ISTH2022
Be sure to check out the poster presentations before heading to the #ISTH2022 networking event tonight 🕺
@SimpsonMegan8 is presenting her data on the hypofibrinolytic state associated with COVID-19 🦠Go visit her at PB0605.
Poster presenters will be there 6:30-7:30 pm.
Fab night!🥂💃🏼 thank you @Stago_Official for my invite and choosing a great venue! #ISTH2022
