@Matt_Muscle_Guy Such a great story!!!

New #SkeletalMuscle paper on Ephrin-A5 or EphA7 stimulation is anti-proliferative for human rhabdomyosarcoma in vitro: tinyurl.com/32zb8u4y

Thanks for this invite to share our work. So many great questions to help guide our thinking and future experiments 🙏

It is true what they say: it takes a village... 🏘️🌳🐄 ...to complete a PhD degree in Biomedical Engineering! 🎓🧫 A village full of amazing mentors (@alisonmcguigan @GilbertLab ), lab mates, friends and family—you made the hard days easier and the good days even better!

Recent PhD graduate @VeraPieters_ is our latest @MbD_UofT profile subject. She worked in the labs of @alisonmcguigan and @GilbertLab @UofT where she engineered #3D tissues to mimic human organs. Read more here and ideally offer her a job! signalsblog.ca/profile-vera-p…

@shynivarghese Such an exciting study Shyni! Congrats to you and your team! 🎉

I'm thrilled to share our latest research, just published in npj Regenerative Medicine. This study explores age-related changes in extracellular adenosine and how local adenosine delivery can promote in situ bone healing. link.springer.com/article/10.103…

@DrAdamPSharples Thanks Adam for serving as appraisor and examiner for Katys defense! Your insights have already made her upcoming manuscript submissions stronger 💪

Congratulations to Katy Tipper in @GilbertLab for successfully defending her PhD thesis on developing 3D human culture systems for assessing force, anabolic response and type-II diabetes! Thank you for the invite to examine the thesis! Katy did a wonderful job!

We are looking forward to meeting everyone in Liverpool next week for our special 100-year anniversary conference. We have a busy, fun-filled programme. You can follow all the action from Biologists @ 100 at #biologists100. 100yearsconference.biologists.com

Out in this month's issue of Aging Cell. Motor neurons do better in the presence of primary human muscle cells from older exercisers vs non-exercisers 🙏@lundbeckfonden for the Ascending Investigator grant 4 years ago to see this work through doi.org/10.1111/acel.1…

🔬 #HFSP offers 2 types of Postdoctoral Fellowships: 👉Long-Term-For researchers shifting into life sciences 👉Cross-Disciplinary-For those moving from non-life science fields into biology Want to know how to succeed? Join our webinar for expert tips! bit.ly/4bSSY9P

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's a dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

🎉bioRxiv & medRxiv are now managed by openRxiv, a new independent nonprofit. This transition allows for more flexibility and innovation. Our community-centered mission remains being a free service to authors ensuring rapid sharing of scientific information before peer review. 🧵

📢 SI on Women's Health Drug Delivery Technologies @JCRnEDITORS co-edited by @BenhabbourS & I is now out - you have 50 days free access to all articles via the links in sub-tweets below. Thx to all authors! Plz retweet to help others access the articles for free! @CRSScience

Hey ya’ll, check out Rob and Michael Kyba’s new Perspective in Mol Biol Cell on Master Regulators: molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb…

@AdamEnglerUCSD @CellReports Very nice! Congrats team!

BIG NEWS in @CellReports! Adhesion strength of tumor cells predicts metastatic disease in vivo cell.com/cell-reports/f… In this work, we show that a physical property - adhesion strength - stratifies mouse and patient samples into disease and non-disease subtypes. (1/4)

@mbeisen @avmalli 110 %

@avmalli Sorry, but it’s a bad look. While I understand it can be frustrating, it’s far less grueling and far more rewarding if successful than what the vast majority of people who are paying our salaries go through to earn the money that pays our salaries.

Yeah. It's insane that you have to write some things down and take a two day trip to get a lifetime job on the public dime.

A dedicated group of student leaders has launched #UofT’s NSBE Graduate Student Chapter—creating more opportunities for mentorship, research & representation in STEM. From outreach to AI bias reduction, these students are making an impact. 🔗Read more⬇️ uofteng.ca/dfx82i

Congratulations to Donnelly Centre faculty members Liliana Attisano, Andrew Fraser, Peter Roy and Mikko Taipale for securing funding from @CIHR_IRSC! 👏 Their funded projects will advance drug discovery and technological innovation. #UofT Learn more 👉 uoft.me/FallCIHRFundin…

Latest paper from our lab: ActRII or BMPR ligands inhibit skeletal myoblast differentiation, and BMPs promote heterotopic ossification in skeletal muscles in mice …eletalmusclejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Thrilled to share LUNA🌕 – our new generative AI model that reassembles tissues from dissociated cells! Think of it as AlphaFold for cells 🧬 From the MERFISH mouse brain atlas to the scRNA-seq atlas & Slide-tags datasets, LUNA is widely applicable. Bringing us closer to virtual tissue modeling 🧠 Super proud of @yistyu – what a way to start her PhD!🙌 And huge thanks also to all our collaborators @thecekbote @stephanedascoli @pafrossard Nikita Morozov Jiashuo Fan Curious about LUNA? Check out our paper Tissue Reassembly with Generative AI: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
