Please RT! I am hiring a lab manager to help start my neuroscience lab at NC State in Jan 2023. We’ll use Drosophila to dissect neural mechanisms of hearing. More info at christabakerlab.com

Hi everyone! I guess that it was about time, so this is my #introduction My name is Jordi, I'm Associate Professor at Uppsala University. I'm a screener, phenotypic drug discovery and automation are two of my professional passions. Otherwise you will find me playing with my kids, eating good food with the family, doing sports (Svensk Klassiker anyone?), and listening to music whenever time allows. See you around!

Cranium growth, patterning and homeostasis

In their Review, Phillip Ang, Max Tischfield and colleagues discuss the roles of osteoprogenitor cells, suture-derived stem cells and signalling pathways in controlling skull development and homeostasis.

The irony inherent to many vaccines is that they are so effective some people have forgotten how bad the diseases they prevent are and have decided they don't need to be vaccinated against them.

Back when we were all mouth-pipetting

'The sugar alcohols and glycosides are found in nature, but all the man-made types (the first three classes) were discovered accidentally when someone in a lab happened to ingest small amounts and noticed the taste. That last pathway is not as common as it used to be decades ago - who knows what artificial sweeteners we might have missed out on due to lack of sloppy lab technique?'

'I’m not a China expert, and I have no idea where this is going. As far as I can tell, actual China experts don’t know, either. But I think it’s worth asking what lessons we can draw from China’s journey from would-be role model to debacle.

Crucially, the lesson is not that we shouldn’t pursue public health measures in the face of a pandemic. Sometimes such measures are necessary. But governments need to be able to change policy in the face of changing circumstances and new evidence.'

'We’ve had antioxidants. We’ve had paleo, keto and hormetic stressors. But those are small fry compared to epigenetics, the latest watchword of the wellness industry, which is currently being slapped onto supplements, face creams and most anything related to longevity. Epigenetic tests are also offered at top-end Swiss-clinic health programmes, or via a kit you spit into at home.'

My lab just tried this protocol to stain for FoxP3 in murine Tregs and it works amazingly well! Much brighter staining and we used 10X less antibody. Incredible. #Immunology

'Herein, we demonstrate that tumor aneuploidy provides independent prognostic value among patients with lower TMB (<80th percentile) tumors treated with immunotherapy. A higher aneuploidy score is associated with poor prognosis following immunotherapy among tumors with low TMB, but not those with high TMB.'

#introduction. I am a neuro/cell/dev biologist investigating how the delicate meter-long slender processes of neurons, i.e. the #axons that form the cables wiring our nervous system, can be maintained for a century (or fail in neurodegeneration). As an efficient strategy, I use genetics and neurons of the fruitfly #Drosophila able to deal with the enormous complexity at play (image). For many years I have engaged in #scicomm promoting the importance of fly research (poppi62.wordpress.com/publicat)

Hello #ScienceMastodon! I am an assistant professor in the MIT Department of Biology with our lab based at the Koch Institute. We build tools for high-throughput functional genomics in mice in order to understand and modulate regenerative capacity across mammalian tissues.

Hello Mastodon friends! #Introduction time…

I study neural networks supporting flexible #Navigation at HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus. Using tractable systems, both biological (flies) and artificial (RNNs), I try to link the structure of neural circuits to their underlying function. In grad school, I studied hippocampal ripples at Caltech, and I love searching for shared operating principles across systems/species.

Here are two of my favorite fly neuron types. Aren’t they beautiful? 🙂

'Now these viruses are back. Heading into winter, pediatricians and hospitals are reporting an influx of young patients with RSV. Flu cases are spiking. But why did these viruses disappear in the first place? And what does this mean for the cold and flu season? Will there be a “tripledemic” this winter?'

"To understand the basis for Ca2+ transport and signaling in Mtb, we determined Mtb’s transcriptional response to Ca2+. Overall, only few genes changed expression, suggesting a limited role of Ca2+ as a transcriptional regulator. However, 2 of the most strongly down-regulated genes were the pe15 and ppe20 genes that code for members of a large family of proteins that localize to the outer membrane and comprise many intrinsically disordered proteins."
