Still think brain regions don’t exist? That everything is everywhere? That cell types don’t matter and that everything is a dynamical phase portrait? Wrong. Interconnected brain modules exist at the level of fine grained transcriptomics. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

what an ending with iNeurons by Dr. Carol Schuurmans. it was a great experience witnessing cutting-edge stem cell research in Canada. Next Vancouver! #TMM2025

ISSCR & Stem Cell Network are seeking nominations to form a working group of early career scientists & senior trainees in stem cell & regenerative medicine research who will provide perspectives on global workforce development. Nominations are due 5 December. Learn more 👉https://ow.ly/j8uY50Xnlzc

Exciting keynote talk at #TMM2025 by Christine Mummery on modeling arrhythmia using stem cell- derived cardioids!

Gupta Lab's image of stem cell- derived neuroepithelium is displayed at #TMM2025. didn't win though 😭 congratulations to all the winners, beautiful pics of wonderful world of stem cells.

great start of day 3 at #TMM2025 with a talk by Neurona therapeutic on major advances in epilepsy treatment with stem cell- derived interneurons! things are getting excited!

Great coverage by @thetransmissions.bsky.social of our latest preprint: adding new evidence (and a hint of controversy 🙂) to the E/I imbalance debate in autism 👇👇 www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/ram...

great day-2 morning at #TMM2025, listening to an amazing story from Dr. Cristina Nostro, finding roles of macrophages in hsc- derived islet cell differentiation that can revolutionize future diabetes treatments. Huge congratulations to Dr. Nostro for receiving TMM2025 Till & McCulloch prize!

very interesting talk by Ross Fitzsimmons from @ucalgary.bsky.social on raindeer antler regeneration and lessons for regenerative biology.

that was a crazy (awesome) result! seeing Melinda myelination in the organoids, what's next? #TMM2025

excited to hear some cool science! #TMM2025

🎉 #ICYMI: New speakers announced for #TMM2025! Join us in Ottawa to hear from Dr. Maria Cristina Nostro, 2025 Till & McCulloch Award recipient, and Brandon Murareanu, Drew Lyall Award winner, as they share groundbreaking #RegenerativeMedicine research. 🔬 Don’t miss it. ➡️ www.tillandmcculloch.ca

Thrilled to share my main postdoc work with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social We used genomic barcoding + scRNAseq in chick & human embryos to reveal a lineage architecture that reshapes how we understand neural tube development & cell fate decisions 🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

first lab meeting of the Gupta lab! very fun start. We are building functional stern cell models to investigate neural disorders like autism.

new preprint: Ubiquitin is a protein modification linked with degradation but known to regulate other functions. Over 100k ubiquitination sites have been discovered and here we (@julianvangerwen.bsky.social + others) try to prioritize those most critical to the cell www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I know the news is tough right now. So take a moment and soak in the gorgeousness & promise of the science that led to this year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine & Physiology. WOW. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/h...

⚠️ Paper alert: Using a novel CRISPR screening approach, we mapped the entire regulatory network controlling Xist—key for X-chromosome inactivation. 👉 We discover how sex and development signals are decoded at a single gene locus. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 👇 Bluetorial

I am excited to share our latest paper @Nature where we construct a hi-res spatial map of the human hypothalamus, the brain region central in appetite control. It is a collaboration between @IMS_MRL @Cambridge_Uni & @MPI_Metabolism www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Imagine a DAPI-like stain, but for the extracellular matrix." That's basically how this work was pitched to me by Kayvon and Antonio a year or so ago. Now the final product really delivers. Read about their versatile label for ECM in living tissues here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
