Or, this could be YOU, if you choose to attend "Woodstock.Bio2 + Night Science" - the craziest and best conference of all time!!! (less than a month away!) woodstock.img.cas.cz #theconferencetoendallconferences

Postdoc positions available in my lab @ki.se Sweden - exciting science, fantastic environment and great quality of life. I take mentoring seriously - 7/7 postdocs that left my lab has faculty positions today. Existing datasets and funds to build new ones available. ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

We're thrilled to share the published version of our DRT9 story, online today @nature.com! Congratulations to all authors! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share that I will kickstart my research group at @ki.se this autumn!🎉🎉 Are you interested in glial biology, using high-end tools for gene and cell programming to study metabolic and epigenetic interactions? Stay tuned! Will be 🔭 for RA, PhD-students & postdocs! Let the journey begin! 🧬🧫🔬

Huge thanks to the #GLIA2025 Programme Committee, led by Marc Freeman (Portland, USA), for shaping an outstanding scientific agenda! Grateful to all speakers + contributors for making this congress in Marseille unforgettable. 🙌🎓 🔗 glia2025.eu/committees

Today!

David Liu @harvard.edu beautifully articulates the criticality of basic science funding for developing revolutionary therapeutics like life-saving base editors 👏 youtu.be/8YhJM6zxYDw?...

1/2 Planning to perform single nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) experiments in complex tissues? We performed a head-to-head comparison with five different methods on human post-mortem brain tissue. Check out the benchmarking in our new preprint. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

A recent preprint from the lab. Turns out biology trumps technical measures for benchmarking of transcriptomics.

Interested in brain metabolism and #lactate? Join us for this fantastic symposium in lovely Bordeaux!! Astro-neuron lactate shuttle,+ microglia, oligos etc! Program: lnkd.in/eP7Ccv4s 📅 Registration (until June 5): lnkd.in/ejkjUApV ⌛ Abstracts (young researchers, deadline June 5): lnkd.in/edhdTr2p

Night science is improvisations, openness, import/export, puzzle switching, hypothesis liabilities, anthropomorphisms, finding questions, contradictions & awe in science; as we discussed in the legendary Karolinska Institute. 🙏 @kragesteen-lab.bsky.social Christoph Ziegenhain & Rickard Sandberg

It was a really inspiring visit today at the Karolinska Institute. Thank you to @kragesteen-lab.bsky.social and Christoph Ziegenhain for being amazing hosts. I'm looking forward to the Night Science workshop there tomorrow!

It was amazing to do a Night Science workshop today at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm!

#Proteins build our cells send signals and transport substances They will only work if they attain their exact 3-dimensional form Gunnar von Heijne is demonstrating at a previously inconceivable level of detail how protein folding is achieved @stockholm-uni.bsky.social #science tinyurl.com/53n9s4nv

Neuronal activity influences the growth of #myelin sheaths along axons by signalling through metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) on oligodendrocytes 🧪🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm very excited to share our latest work with #zebrafish published in @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social!! 🐟 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Here, we characterized a genetic model of intestinal epithelial cell ablation to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms of intestinal #regeneration....

Identification of distinct neural ensembles in the adult mouse spinal cord encoding mechanical and heat #pain 🧠🧪 @patrikernfors.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

our work on the molecular differences between transcription factor isoforms is out now in Molecular Cell! key point: 2/3rds of TF isos differ in properties like DNA binding & transcriptional activity many are "negative regulators" & misexpressed in cancer www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Runners appear to experience a decrease in the amount of myelin in certain regions of the brain following a marathon, according to a study of 10 participants in Nature Metabolism. The effect, however, was completely reversed two months after the marathon. https://go.nature.com/4iDd62r 🧪

How is the input of the different kinds of primary sensory neurons responding to heat and mechanical stimuli summarized in the spinal cord? Check out our recent study. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
