Well put critique of grant reviews in the NHMRC.

If you’re a fan of the new TV show ‘Pluribus’, you’d think that a psychic glue capable of binding us and our brains is pure science fiction. 🧬
But a “molecular glue” that can repair damaged nerve cells is a future goal for QBI scientists studying neuronal fusion! Hear Professor Massimo Hilliard and Dr Ramon Martinez-Marmol break down neuronal fusion on our latest episode of A Grey Matter.

Congratulations to the @HilliardLab at QBI whose paper titled "OSP-1 protects neurons from autophagic cell death induced by acute oxidative stress" has featured in the Editor's Highlights page for @Nature Communications!
The Editors’ Highlights pages aim to showcase the 50 best papers recently published in an area. 🙌 What an incredible achievement!

Researchers from the Hilliard lab at UQ's Queensland Brain Institute have identified a molecule, OSP-1, that may protect brain cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and excessive autophagy — two processes linked to brain diseases like stroke.🧠
The team’s discovery could pave the way for innovative treatments to prevent neuronal damage.
Stay tuned for updates on this exciting progress!
