Advice for new PhD students: choose a mentor who is committed to your training, not just your project. The most important product of your PhD - even more important than the science - is you, a newly trained scientist.

Happy to share my first author publication that represents 5 years of my life as PhD student. We performed single nucleus RNA sequencing from denervated skeletal muscle and found some interesting biology about two paralog genes: Gramd1a/b

99% of my daily emails are spam...but this email MADE MY DAY 🥹. Folks..we need more of this! PIs love hearing that their work has made an impact...especially on students (let alone a HS student).

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!!

🚨New paper out in Circ Res! Congrats to 1st author DR @OmarBritoStrada & the team👏🏼Here we show DWORF gene therapy boosts cardiac calcium handling, enhances mitochondrial energetics, & protects against heart failure progression🫀💪🏼

Read it here 😍👇🏼

Arc is the protein of the month on @buildmodels (link below)!! Of course, it's really protein of the century in my mind 😆
Thanks to @janetiwasa and her team for the excellent write up and animations!

[David R. Liu @davidrliu]

I discuss the urgent crisis from the loss of federal support of science in the US and recent clinical gene editing breakthroughs with @WalterIsaacson & @amanpour on @AmanpourCoPBS, airing on @PBS tonight at 11 pm ET, and on @cnni earlier today. Pls share!

Happy to share our new paper demonstrating optimization of base editing to correct the lethal ACTA2 R179H mutation in human smooth muscle cells in vitro and humanized mice, thereby rescuing multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome. https://t.co/Kbddc8yY1o

Never heard a room go quiet as fast as when someone suggested to a room of aging HHMI Investigators that they should retire so postdocs can get jobs.

[Daniel Starczynowski @dstarczynowski]

Thrilled to share our latest research out today in @Nature: “Microbial metabolite drives ageing-related clonal hematopoiesis via ALPK1” https://t.co/xlcrZxKRU8

[Itai Yanai @ItaiYanai]

Is the genome just a bag of genes? A new paper in @ScienceMagazine now reports that for two thirds of an organisms' genes the position along the chromosome is actually very tightly constrained! Amazing work from my favorite night scientist @MartinJLercher and his team!

Last night I was honored to receive the 2025 #BreakthroughPrize in the Life Sciences, reflecting the efforts of many students, collaborators, doctors, and patients in labs around the world. I hope this 4-minute excerpt can inspire when science needs public support more than ever.

Myc and muscle growth: necessary in muscle stem cells, dispensable in muscle fibers and harmful if overexpressed. Check out our latest work https://t.co/ACbr55RXuz in @NatureComms, where we explore the role of Myc in muscle growth and more.

[Rüegg Lab @RueggLab]

Check out our latest publication where we use single-nuclei RNA-seq to study gene expression at the neuromuscular junction: https://t.co/GU9mPiMaMw

The paper also characterizes three novel NMJ proteins including the transcription factor ETV4 and the MuSK-binding protein PDZRN4.
