🚨G-JAM2025 Registration Alert!🚨 Join us in September for an exciting #aging research meeting co-organized by FLI Jena and ERIBA Groningen! We're bringing together top experts to explore aging from mechanistic insights in model organisms to human aging and interventions 1/4

Jhagavan Arunthavalingam, Arman Ghodsinia and collaborators published this article on #sensoryscience and science outreach to the blind and low vision community! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Very sad to see that #RareDiseaseDay event at FDA-NIH has been cancelled. Cuts that limit rare disease research and cures (1) leave patients behind, and (2) forfeit precious opportunity to learn more about common human diseases. udnf.org/udnf-stateme...

Hello new followers 🖖 I like looking at the plasma membrane by high res microscopy. Here, you see a platinum replica EM of a fibroblast plasma membrane with clathrin dome (in the center) and caveolae (small invaginations on the side)

So excited to share the work of the fantastic Katarzyna, 1st 🧪PhD student of my lab 🧠, out in @natureneuro.bsky.social 🥂🥳 Cheers to the team, thanks to our precious collaborators and support from @braincanada.bsky.social #CIHR @fondsrechercheqc.bsky.social #newPI www.nature.com/articles/s41...

'We at Nature denounce this assault on science. And we encourage the global research community, wherever they can, to voice their opposition' doi.org/10.1038/d415... @nature.com

In case you were wondering how Fox News is covering the proposed cuts at the NIH:

Great example of communicating what is going on in NIH to public!

Large-scale genomics studies have failed to identify specific pathways that go awry in schizophrenia, writes Joshua Sanes. Alternative approaches focusing on cellular, molecular and systems-level changes may be needed. www.thetransmitter.org/genetics/why... #neuroskyence

New lab paper! We reveal a novel mitochondria–cilia interaction in neurons & #mitochondrial control of #ciliary molecular pathways & structure Kudos to Dogukan Ulgen & Ale Chioino 🙏 O Zanoletti, A Quintana, E Sanz @epfl-brainmind.bsky.social @jphysiol.bsky.social Read doi.org/10.1113/JP28...

“But despair is not an option,” writes Gretchen Goldman in Nature. “It is important to remember that notable gains have been made in federal scientific-integrity protections in the past two decades.” 🧪

#CellPlasticity—the ability of cells to change their identity—is vital for tissue growth and repair. But when it goes unchecked, it can fuel #cancer. Our latest study examines how to block #LiverCancer by actively suppressing plasticity. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #CancerBiology

Are you interested in an #intership in #scholarlypublishing? Here is this year @springernature.com's Opening Doors Programme group.springernature.com/gp/group/tak... #DEI

1/12 How do animals build an internal map? In our new paper, we tracked thousands of mouse CA1 neurons over days/weeks as they learned a VR navigation task. @nspruston.bsky.social & co-1st author @johanwinn.bsky.social Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw_4... Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do single macrophages remember signals they have previously seen? Our latest paper in Cell Systems: www.cell.com/cell-systems...

How do different cortical neuron types contribute to circuit dysfunction in #Huntington’s disease? Check out our new collaborative study with @takakikomiyama.bsky.social, spearheaded by Sonja Blumenstock, now out as a preprint. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I refuse to be neutral in the face of racism and injustice. Deleting my Twitter account. Canceled my Amazon Prime membership.

Dementia researchers’ collective response to Charles Piller’s book “Doctored” and his NYT piece to promote it. Please share and repost at will.

VNS at mid-intensity decreased anxiety-like behavior without affecting reward or aversion in rats. This intensity also increased c-Fos expression in noradrenergic NTS neurons while reducing it in the LC. #neuroskyence 🩺 Butler et al. Brain Stim www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

And it's out! The BIC lab presents our new perspective article on "Immune Control of Brain Physiology" - fresh off the press at @natrevimmunol.bsky.social nature.com/articles/s41... wonderful synergy: @marikovacs.bsky.social @amaia-db.bsky.social and @fakesamir.bsky.social

We are searching for a Master's Student/Intern to join the group for 6-12 months to work on large-scale bioimage analysis of complex human model system data! Please send your CV to: [email protected] #IHB

My first science post here on BlueSky is a long one. Setting the contrarian tone from the very beginning, I take strong issue with the recent op-ed by Charles Piller published in the January 24th NY Times on #Alzheimer's disease (nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...)

The FT reports OpenAI suspects DeepSeek of "a potential breach of intellectual property." As a columnist for NYT, which is suing OpenAI for copyright infringement, and the author of nine books OpenAI apparently used to train its model, I couldn't possibly comment. www.ft.com/content/a0df...

www.cell.com/immunity/ful... - 👉ISD investigators now defined a mechanism whereby HDAC9 regulates activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and developed a targeted anti-inflammatory approach for treating atherosclerosis. #HDAC9 #cell #immunity

Excited to share our recent paper where we use genetics, bioinformatics, and cell-based functional studies to determine whether variants of unknown significance act as pathogenic variants to cause autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease @alzassociation.bsky.social

Thank you Alzforum for featuring our work! CRISPRi-based screens in iAssembloids to elucidate neuron-glia interactions - project led by @emmyli.bsky.social www.alzforum.org/news/researc...

Emotional day going home to Drexel Biomed - was a privilege to pay homage to the legacy of a true legend - Dr. Banu Onaral- she was the true epitome of servant leadership, truly blessed to have you as part of my life 🙏

🤔 Well.... 👉 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel. I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times! Pls repost 🙏❤️
