Spatial-omics goes 3D🤗! Out at Cell @CellCellPress 👉🏼 We developed DISCO-MS with @labs_mann, a spatial proteomics technology for specimens fully imaged in 3D. DISCO-MS is aided by robotics and enables the study of diseases at their early stages. https://t.co/MyvXnnBDgL🧵👇

Check out Jennifer's article on optimal blocking of the cerebral cortex for cytoarchitectonic examination. We use a neuronavigation method to determine the most optimal sectioning angles for cyto studies based on the orientation of sulci @erikanolan16 🧠👇 https://t.co/TJpEN1DEri

Please, check out our latest preprint: "Deep topographic proteomics of a human brain tumour". Introducing a workflow for spatially resolved, quantitative proteomics of tissue that generates maps of protein expression. #spatialproteomics (https://t.co/EWAnPUM6Ju)

[Alain Chédotal @AlainChedotal]

The preprint was already impressive but the final paper in @NatureBiotech is 🤩🤩
Whole brain imaging of a rhesus monkey at 1 × 1 × 2.5 µm3 voxel resolution. Combination or serial section and clearing. congrats Xu et al., Bi and Lau labs https://t.co/cRpZEXAoUK

Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex ⚡️

[Tim Stearns @StearnsLab]

For 20 years the reference human genome has had gaps and missing sequences. PacBio, Oxford Nanopore and a haploid human cell line to the rescue in the first complete human genome assembly! @aphillippy and a cast of many. https://t.co/0EwX2RuR8r

Happy birthday to Santiago Ramón y Cajal the "father of modern #neuroscience."

[Adam Glaser @adam_k_glaser]

First human brain slice imaging results. 2 micron isotropic raw data, but fused with 8x down-sampling to render this video. Autofluorescence background with amyloid plaques in green!

[Adam Glaser @adam_k_glaser]

Another Thy1 mouse🧠imaged after some final tweaks to our new light-sheet system. Thanks to @huzhao4 and his team for the specimen!

[Mackenzie Bennett, MD (she/her) @Dr_MBennett]

Having a difficult time putting into words the feeling I had when I left the hospital after doing chest compressions on a coding young person who lost their fight with COVID, to see a normal packed Friday night at bars and restaurants...

On the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine: publishing interim results through a press release is neither good scientific practice nor does it help to build public trust in vaccines. An announcement should come with full publication of a peer-reviewed research paper in a scientific journal.

Everybody's favorite cortex, the motor cortex! These fat myelinated axons will become the spinal cord.

@vintagepillbox Thank you!

[Connor Scott @ConnorScott_OX]

Thanks for having me!

#BlackBrainSciShowcase 🧠 off to a fantastic start! Thanks @ConnorScott_OX & @rcsmikle for such honesty in sharing their experiences as researchers, some 🔥🔥🔥 advice and some incredible research! We'll be back next Wed with more speakers (TBC soon!👀) 1/2

[Connor Scott @ConnorScott_OX]

Imaging neurons from a male who died in 79 AD from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Herculaneum! His neurons turned to glass and researchers were able to identify several proteins! 🤯🧠👩‍🔬

About time!

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

2020 Chemistry Laureates Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna discovered one of gene technology’s sharpest tools: the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors. Using these, researchers can change the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision.

In the UK the number of cases rose rapidly.
But the public – and authorities – are only learning this now because these cases were only published now as a backlog.

The reason was apparently that the database is managed in Excel and the number of columns had reached the maximum.
