Incredible approach to use allogenonic nonhuman regulatory T cells for #brain disorders. At least it’s safe but I’m curious to see if it works in many patients Clinical Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Regulatory T Cells for ALS | NEJM Evidence evidence.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

A Perspective on a dynamic and multimodal framework to define microglial states from @rsankowski.bsky.social and Marco Prinz www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#microglia and other tissue #macrophages are highly plastic. This makes them look differently depending on their respective context. Granular methods like #single-cell sequencing are merely snapshots that may simplify the complexity found in the tissue. In our perspective in @natneuro.nature.com

Data visualization is a critical step in data analysis. 8 links to bookmark for better data visualization:🧵

Hey, new paper by @cleggtom.bsky.social and me is just out in @pnas.org. This combines a lot of things that start with B: Biodiversity, Bipartite Networks, Bifurcations, Bacteria, ... www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... And yes, I know, Fig 1 looks like one of 'those' papers but please read on ...

I’m a big fan of the @nejm.org illustrated glossary. See below how to genome instability is explained #cancer #scienceCommunication

New tools! GreenPy and ApplePy are fluorescent biosensors for pyruvate with huge responses (20–40x in vitro) and a range of affinities (10s of μM to mM). These should be game changers for imaging of metabolism! Great work by Shosei Imai @sikmys.bsky.social and team 👏. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
