Check out our latest work where we built a single cell perturbation atlas of niche cues in inflamed human intestinal organoids. We hope this resource will be of value in generating therapeutic hypotheses to guide diseased epithelium back to homeostasis. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Another awesome piece of work out by @andcyang! Evidence suggesting critical roles the brain vasculature may have in AD through the lens of scRNA-seq. Happy to have been part of such an important resource!
Tony Wyss-Coray@wysscoray

Imagine we developed a drug to repair synapses and neurons and learned that the supply routes keeping neurons alive are broken in AD brains - it’s a possibility. Check out @andcyang ’s human brain vascular atlas rdcu.be/cGZ2D and the related study from Heiman/Kellis

Welp, I turn 36 today. I’m not excited. But I finally feel like I “made it” in science so I think it’s time to share my career path. Which is tied to my personal path.. 🧵1/11

Just published @nature Understanding why some people develop severe covid while others have mild disease with extensive single-cell RNA-seq of immune cell response nature.com/articles/s4158… Mild: good interferon (IFN) response Severe: block IFN, "overzealous" antibody response

All systems are go for tonight’s launch at 7:27 p.m. EST of Crew Dragon’s first operational mission with four astronauts on board. Teams are keeping an eye on weather conditions for liftoff, which are currently 50% favorable → spacex.com/launches

Excited to share our latest work with the Sudhof Lab! Using scRNA-seq, we discover enduring gene expression programs in neurons and glial cells of the mouse prefrontal cortex that may help us understand how long-term memories (>1 month old) are stored. nature.com/articles/s4158…

It is getting progressively important to understand disease in the context of aging, and this fantastic single-cell aging atlas, the first of its kind, paves the way for that!
Tony Wyss-Coray@wysscoray

Biologic & disease processes need to be viewed from an age perspective. How does your favorite gene change with age? check out Tabula Muris Senis and this App combining sc and bulkRNAseq across 10 ages twc-stanford.shinyapps.io/maca/ in rdcu.be/b5DqF and rdcu.be/b5DqD

Very exciting work by Andrew Yang from the @wysscoray lab, showing that plasma proteins can permeate the BBB via transcriptionally- dependent transport programs, and that these mechanisms are impaired with age. Honored to have been a part of this fantastic study!
Tony Wyss-Coray@wysscoray

Very excited to share work of Andrew Yang, supported by a fantastic team and productive collaborations with @mjameslab and @CarolynBertozzi: rdcu.be/b5mi1 Brain blood vessels soak up blood proteins defying barrier stigma. Thanks for a wonderful review by Rich Daneman!!

Happy to see my first postdoc publication finally in print! In collab with the Wyss-Coray lab, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate age-related changes in brain endothelial cells how they may be caused by old (or reversed by young!) blood proteomes.
Tony Wyss-Coray@wysscoray

Excited that this is in print now! congratulations again to shared authors Michelle Chen, Andrew Yang, and @HanadieYousef! Brain Endothelial Cells Are Exquisite Sensors of Age-Related Circulatory Cues cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Granted, we can survive with one kidney or half a liver, but the fact that adults who had a hemispherectomy as a child can have fairly normal cognition, astounds me. (and seems to confirm my suspicion that one of my hemispheres is slacking off). nyti.ms/3333czr
