🚀 Prophet v3 is out! AI that predicts how cells respond to genetic & chemical perturbations across readouts. Now scales to 1.9 M molecules + in vitro validation of melanoma-specific hits 🧬💊 📄 biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #AI #Biology #DeepLearning

Less than a week left to apply! Join the spaXio Doctoral Network, where we’re decoding the biology of metastasis through spatial omics, organoid models, and computational biology. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this cutting-edge research community. Apply now: www.spaXio.eu

Incomplete characterization and inconsistent reporting of laboratory animal #genetics undermine study quality and limit research #reproducibility. @reproducibilityexp.bsky.social highlight the LAG-R guidelines and call for collective action to enhance scientific integrity.🧪

Pre-print alert! And this one really is a must read for anyone that does spectral #flowcytometry. It is a complete, fully-automated spectral unmixing pipeline that reduces error up to 9000-fold. Want to get a tough sample, like lung, looking like this? Read more! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

ICYMI: New Online! SLAM passes the haematopoietic stem cell identity test

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 We just posted our latest manuscript on patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models in acute myeloid leukemia (AML): 📝 "A platform of robust patient-derived leukemia models covering subgroups for which no cell lines exist" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Why this matters ⬇️

Happy to share that my PhD has finally taken the shape of a paper! ✨ Huge thanks to all authors, especially @davidbrueckner.bsky.social & @ehannezo.bsky.social for leading the modeling and @raimonsunyer.bsky.social & @xaviertrepat.bsky.social for their invaluable supervision. 🧵👇

🚀 Excited to share scPortrait! Led by Sophia Mädler & Niklas Schmacke w/ the Mann lab — a new @scverse tool for standardized single-cell image data. Enables ML-ready extraction, >1B cell processing, cross-omics, & cancer macrophage insights. 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

“The integrin odyssey – a journey full of fundamental discoveries” by Fässler and Sonnenberg in @jcellsci.bsky.social, worth a read! journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

1/11 In @science.org: A new perspective on how our intestines renew. Cells are not “pushed out” by crowding or die from apoptosis. Instead, cells play a mechanical tug-of-war, where weaker cells extrude, reframing gut renewal as force-regulated. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

What a step forward for spatial biology! Combining RNA profiling with DNA methylation detection while maintaining tissue context is pure awesomeness! A must read 🔍 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Exciting to see our protein binder design pipeline BindCraft published in its final form in @Nature ! This has been an amazing collaborative effort with Lennart, Christian, @sokrypton.org, Bruno and many other amazing lab members and collaborators. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

spaXio members were proud to take part in the Summer School "Immuno-Oncology in the Spatial Omics Era", hosted by the Institut Cancer et Immunologie (ICI) Marseille and CIVIS. It was a fantastic week filled with cutting-edge scientific talks, hands-on workshops, and inspiring student presentations.

Latest from @ivaskalab.bsky.social @jrwconway.bsky.social in NCB. We find that SHP-2 inhibition stops TNBC invasion and limits metastasis by blocking integrin dephosphorylation! Read more at: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Big news from Uni Salzburg! The Xenium spatial transcriptomics platform is up and running. Supported by FFG-backed CellComm initiative, Centre for Tumour Biology and Immunology and Dept of Biosciences and Med.Biology, this tech brings next-level spatial resolution to our cancer research efforts!

What a day! First our granted MSCA doctoral network spaXio @spaxio.bsky.social, now my first last authorship! Perfect timing as we will need to do some serious organoid manipulations to achieve our spaXio goals! Check out our protocol: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40163310

Thrilled to announce our doctoral network for spatial oncology as been funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions! This combines some of the best immuno-oncology and computational labs across Europe to create a multi-disciplinary PhD program for spatial-omics cancer research. More details soon!

Exciting computational workflow and a step towards understanding the ACTUAL composition of celltype specific niches. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
