Excited about advancing potential therapies for T1D? If you have a background in developmental biology, along with experience in scRNAseq, let’s connect! #T1DResearch #celltherapy linkedin.com/posts/nayara-le…

Are you interested in pancreatic islet biology with experience in diabetes and beta-cells? Then, come help our research efforts and ultimately bring this cell therapy to patients!

New Perspective! The simple premise of much of synbio/genetic medicine is "If we design new DNA, cells will run the code" but unfortunately in reality synthetic transgenes are often silenced over time in cells.
@genegirl007 brought together this big group to discuss ways forward

This week's #FluorescenceFriday user is Amanda Ferreira! @amandaaraujogf works with scRNA-seq data, and through #HCRimaging, she has been able to bring the knowledge she acquired in silico to the in vivo validations. Check out her stunning image of a Drosophila optic lobe here:

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

The authors show how pathogens activate hypothalamic neurons that control appetite too. It is fascinating!

Excited to share our most recent publication @CellStemCell. Unexpectedly, we found that hematopoietic stem cells act as antigen presenting cells! Antigen presentation safeguards the integrity of the stem cell pool and prevents the onset of leukemias

I'm excited to share this opportunity to join our team @VertexPharma.
Please spread the word, and we’d love to hear from anyone interested in developmental and islet biology with experience in cell ontology. #T1DResearch #CellTherapy lnkd.in/ecsmn2f4

Beautiful! #FluorescenceFriday

For #FluorescenceFriday We can clearly see that photoreceptor neurons from the eye (top-right) keep their spatial relationship to each other when sending their projections to the brain (bottom-left). I want to understand the genetics behind these specific neuronal connections 🤯

Seismic. Can you say "bespoke" #islet implants for #Type1diabetes? Created by @naleite @TheMeltonLab Genetic manipulation of stress pathways can protect stem-cell-derived islets from apoptosis (vitro). @Anto_Citro @VertexScience @enhancerleo @AtUcsf @MIT
