Hundreds of scientists who study cancer and aging have made an easily avoidable but significant mistake, deploying the wrong antibody to test for a key protein, according to a researcher who exposes errors in the biomedical literature.

Why 50% of human fertilized eggs fail to complete pre-implantation development?
Latest work from my lab in @CellCellPress now clarifies the two causes that contribute to the low efficiency of early human embryos and provides one of the solutions. (1/7)

More mammal work like this please!👏

New paper! How do RNAs "know" where to go inside a cell? We dug into the sequence elements that route RNAs to the right place. It turns out that, in mammals, they're surprisingly massive (>200 nt), multipartite, and wonderfully complicated. 🧵

Spinal motor neurons in dazzling detail. ✨
Each green dot is a spinal motor neuron - crucial but rare cells making up just 1% of neurons in the spinal cord. In diseases like ALS, they are selectively damaged, making them of special interest to neuroscientists. #SciShots

If human editors can’t control who reviews science, it’s no longer peer review — it’s a rubber-stamp machine designed for volume and profit, not quality. I have no intention of attaching my name to it. So I’m out.

When Frontiers started automating the editorial process, I stayed. I reasoned that as long as the automation could be turned off, human editors can still ensure rigorous, high-quality peer review. This now became impossible — the system has been entirely hijacked by algorithms.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience (part of @FrontNeurosci). It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

We're thrilled to announce the 2026 #KavliPrize Laureates, scientists pushing boundaries of what humanity knows in #astrophysics #nanoscience #neuroscience. They have revealed new chapters in the story of our universe, the smallest materials, and how the brain works. 1/2

A lot of papers this year showing that mitocondria interact with almost every other organelle and now with nuclear pore complex

Como siempre, la realidad no es así. No hay retribución posible si se vuelve a ser cesante. Por otro lado, la ciencia en el hemisferio norte aún está muy lejos de la nuestra, y es esencial establecer y mantener redes.
Creo q nada ha hecho más daño a Becas Chile q desconexión total con realidad d grupo d becados q habiendo firmado contrato, y vivido en algunos casos hasta 10 años en Europa con todo pagado x Estado,ahora no quieren volver a Chile si no les garantizan el trabajo q quieren.

Ufff… en @CNNChile deberían escoger mejor a sus invitados. Muy superficial el debate sobre este punto.

We developed wildDISCO, a whole-body immunolabeling method that makes entire mice transparent and maps cells in 3D using standard antibodies.
We are now using this technology to develop powerful cell-level targeting therapeutics.

How do you map every cell in an entire mouse without slicing it into thousands of sections? Our recently published paper in @NatureProtocols describes wildDISCO: a whole-body immunolabeling approach that makes the mouse transparent and labels cells throughout the body using standard antibodies. The result? Cellular-resolution 3D atlases of entire organisms, preserving the anatomical context that is often lost in traditional histology.

A toxicology journal has retracted a 16-year-old study linking hepatitis B vaccines to autism in children following an independent statistical review that found a half-dozen concerns with the study’s methodology.

I still think MDPI journals can have legit papers every now and then, but they are totally buried in a mountain of low-quality papers and terrible reviews.
Long story short, I avoid citing MDPI stuff in general because they ignore reviewers.
