Our neighbors and friends in the OBM lab in eLife today! They used scRNA-seq to characterize the development of the crista (responsible for sensing rotation). Little was known about this structure so read it to learn about new cell types! @OliviaMcdonogh elifesciences.org/articles/6…

Novel cell types and developmental lineages revealed by single-cell RNA-seq analysis of the mouse...

The elucidation of the cellular composition of the crista and the genes expressed in each cell type is a critical step toward understanding inner ear development, function, and vestibulopathies.

“This is a perfect rationale for why basic science is so incredibly important,” @UWMedicine's Michael R. Bruchas. seattletimes.com/seattle-new… @UWMedNSI

UW researchers think a fish might be the answer to treating mood disorders, addiction

A protein found in lampreys might be the solution to treating disorders, such as depression and even pain.

Although cicadas and many other insects are edible and highly nutritious, it's important to note that people who have a known shellfish allergy, particularly to Crustaceans (🍤 , 🦀 , 🦞 , etc.) could potentially have an allergic reaction to eating cicadas as well. #BroodX

"Do I really sound like that?" 😐 Neel Bhatt, a @UW assistant professor of otolaryngology, explains why many people hate the sound of their own voices. @ConversationUS @nbhattmd ms.spr.ly/6015VvXhz

Why do we hate the sound of our own voices?

If you’ve ever cringed after hearing a recording of yourself, you’re not alone.
