Eternally asking questions. Likes guts. Has guts, and a lab @TheCrick

[Prisca Liberali @priscaliberali]

What if we stop asking only how cells build tissues and ask how tissues shape cells?

That’s what we’ll explore at Modelling Life from Tissues to Cells 🇨🇭

Visibility in Academia, like in the world, is not fixed; it is produced. This piece “What Cell Biology Reveals About Academia” is a reminder that everyone has the potential to be either seen or unseen.

🚨 You have two more days to submit your abstract for #EESSexDifferences. Don't miss this opportunity!

The deadline is 28 January 👉 https://t.co/g5WQQjHBMm

This brand new symposium will highlight a range of topics, including sex hormone regulation of health and immunity, genetic differences that lead to disease, and mosaicism.

📢 EMBO | EMBL Symposium 'Sex differences in health and disease'
🗓️ 27 – 30 April
📍 EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual

now or never, submission deadline Jan 19th!

[EMBL Events @EMBLEvents]

⏰ The abstract submission deadline for #EESSexDifferences is fast approaching! Don't forget to submit yours by 19 January 👉 https://t.co/g5WQQjHBMm

This brand new symposium will explore how sex influences health and disease through genetic, hormonal, immune, metabolic, and environmental factors.

Session topics:
🔹 Development and evolution of sex differences
🔹 Sex differences in organ function and physiology
🔹 Plasticity of sex differences, gene-environment interactions, and ageing
🔹 Sex differences in immunity and autoimmunity
🔹 Differences in disease susceptibility, progression, and treatment response
🔹 Systems and engineering approaches to sex differences

Selective vulnerability of certain cell types to loss of dosage compensation. Post-embryonically, most tissues can do without it - except for a subset of adult progenitors. Congrats Océane, Bruno and Lucie! https://t.co/cPo06cpkh8
