Always wanted to make a fully functional astrocyte from human stem cells? We just published a protocol show that these astrocytes compare favourably to primary rodent astrocytes, you can find all the data here: doi.org/10.1523/ENEURO…

What are the next steps for advancing microphysiological systems? In this review, the @nociorganonchip consortium describes a framework of quantitative designed and emergent MPS features to more close mimic human organs. nature.com/articles/s4155…

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.” Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges. Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

Third submission in three weeks

Momentum toward next-generation psychiatric diagnosis and treatment got a turbo boost today: @ColumbiaMed announced the establishment of a new center for precision psychiatry & mental health, supported by @SNForg. Read more: columbiamed.link/3Vd6mxd

Extremely interesting talk by @slinnarsson during the #singlecellgenomicsday. You can find their preprint here, biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you're interested in using scRNA seq in your studies, join the single cell genomics day organized by @satijalab. Now live, satijalab.org/scgd23/ #singlecellgenomicsday

Excited to share our lab's latest preprint, led by @CXchengxiangQIU, @bethkarenmartin & Ian Welsh of @jacksonlab. We set out to build a single cell roadmap for all of mouse prenatal development, from single cell zygote to free-living pup. Preprint: tinyurl.com/2nhe4mm9 1/n

Together with @ECNPtweets collaborators we recently published guidelines to perform neuropharmacological studies using hiPSC-derived neural models, with the ultimate aim of developing novel therapeutic drugs for neuropsychiatric disorders. Give it a read! doi.org/10.1016/j.nsa.…

Salk scientists Kay Tye @kaymtye and Hao Li @haoli1988 discuss their recent discovery in @Nature. Their findings uncover why some people are more likely to retain negative emotions than positive ones—as can occur with anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
