We are introducing LipiGo 🤗 A programmable DNA–lipid nanocarrier 🧬 with built-in targeting logic. It de-targets the liver and redirects mRNA delivery into lymphoid organs, enhancing therapies requiring the immune system. Precision delivery at the cell level isn't far! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Wrote the same thing as a tweetorial on X, got a single interaction with the tweet. I guess it is finally time to leave that place for good

#Myelination enables faster signal propagation in the brain, but takes more energy & space. @philipruthig.bsky.social &co reveal how short- & long-range #WhiteMatter fibers differ, showing how these variations affect neural communication & processing efficiency @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4mq5tOy

How are human brain regions connected? Are the connecting axons thicker and more myelinated the longer these connecting fibers are? In our recent paper we find that indeed, they are! Read the skeetorial below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ plos.io/4mq5tOy #neuroscience #neuroskyence #whitematter #deeplearning

Out now in @plosbiology.org: our recent study on white matter myelination and axon diameters in long and short fibers of humans! Skeetorial coming soon :)

Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry in the service of basic discovery bsky.app/profile/deis...

Signs I am, indeed, living in Munich, pt 1: I just paid 9€ for a pretzel and croissant.

+1000 I think AI will help us do scientific research in numerous ways, but the bulk of the work that real scientists do is not anything that "AI scientists" will be able to do.

Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

One of the undisputed scientific wins of the last few years.

Can wholeheartedly recommend the city, place and people to motivated to-be phd students! Don't hesitate to apply 👏👏

Maybe a good time to remember that mice have tiny hyperconnected brains. An estimated 97% of all possible connections between brain areas exist in mice, vs ~62% in macaques and marmosets. No wonder everything is everywhere in mice, they have all-to-all connectivity! doi.org/10.1093/cerc...

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated. The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west). My column: www.ft.com/content/3046...

Seriously talented group of people, building Bayes at scale

20+ years ago, an idea about cortical lateralization of audition was advanced: asymmetric sampling in time (AST). This extensive review/reevaluation by Chantal Oderbolz, me, and Martin Meyer assesses how the idea has fared. #notallwrong www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

November 5th felt like an old friend had died. I guess today is the funeral. ☹️

As of today, the main finding of my PhD is published in the European Journal for Neuroscience! 🥳🥳 Together with Gesine Müller, we looked at hemispheric asymmetries in the mouse auditory cortex. We find layer, sex, and hemispheric differences: doi.org/10.1111/ejn.... 🧵
