A new #SpatialTranscriptomics technique was published on Cell! The authors used polony gels to capture the RNA in situ, and used pixel-seq to map #singlecell transcriptomes back to the tissue. Amazing experimental design! https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(22)01367-8

New #introduction for #twitterMigration.

Hello Mastodon community!

In my lab we work with #stemcells #iPS cells and their differentiation into #neurons and brain #organoids.

We focus on #RareDiseases affecting #mitochondria and energy #metabolism. We develop high-content #microscopy assays for #screening repurposable drugs .

Absolutely fascinating paper by the group of Ed Feil on Klebsiella genomics

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-022-01263-0

A large-scale genomic snapshot of Klebsiella spp. isolates (n = 3,482) in Northern Italy reveals limited transmission between clinical and non-clinical settings

Relevant quote from abstract
"Although we noted occasional transmission between clinical and non-clinical settings, our data point to a limited role of animal and environmental reservoirs in the human acquisition of Klebsiella spp."

Hi #introduction from me..!
I'm a Prof of Operational Research at UCL & member of Independent SAGE.
As such, I've been tweeting about Covid for 2.5 yrs now so expect more of that here!
Plus occasional forays into politics, women in science, general science & stuff about London.
Hope I get the hang of it soon!

‘Eat local’ is a common recommendation to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet.

But transportation makes up a very small amount of the greenhouse gas emissions from food.

*What* you eat is far more important than *where* your food traveled from.

The distribution map of the hoverfly Eristalis pertinax may be telling a story about failed clean water regulations:

“Eristalis pertinax is a European hoverfly. Like Eristalis tenax, the larva of E. pertinax is a rat-tailed maggot and lives in drainage ditches, pools around manure piles, sewage, and similar places containing water badly polluted with organic matter.” https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/52490?locale=en-GB

Caveats: sampling bias, and unknown distribution prior to modern waterways pollution.

#Introduction

Hi #ScienceMastodon. We, at #Dev_journal, are a #community journal covering #DevBio, #stemcells, #regeneration and more. Development is led by Editor-in-Chief @jamesbriscoe & published by the not-for-profit @Co_Biologists.

We’ll be tooting about our #research papers, #reviews, #interviews, charitable activities, #conferences and #devbiol news from our community site, @the_node.

Toots by Online Editor @helenzsci, Reviews Editor @amjeve & Executive Editor Katherine Brown

#introduction. I am a plant developmental geneticist. The lab addresses a fundamental biological question: how does morphogenesis translate genotype into form? To this end we study signaling at the plasma membrane - cell wall interface and we investigate how mechanical forces influence tissue shape using 3D digital ovules.

Time for my #neuroscience #introduction here. I am studying the nervous systems of jellyfish using computational modelling, trying to understand their dynamics and their evolution. I use biophysical neuron models and feed the resulting dynamics of their network into fluid dynamics simulations to study how their neuronal dynamics control the swimming and turning of these strange creatures.

Fighting health misinformation on social media has been hard enough these last ~3 years, but will be almost impossible now that "[Twitter's] paid verification system is being used to give sense of validity to accounts pushing health misinformation."
