@sumrubayin it is :)

With Srinjan Basu, led by Alex Kingston, our new collaborative study has been exploring the effect of mechanical forces on stem cell fate using cortical organoids - now covered in preLights!

[preLights @preLights]

Mechanical forces don’t just shape the cortex, they instruct it 🧠

Kingston et al. @LakatosLab, @srinjan_basu show LINC-mediated nuclear mechanosensing governs progenitor fate, neuronal identity & human cortical patterning.

Cambridge is to lead a £20m @The_MRC Hub to transform the development of new medicines using stem cells and AI.

Led by the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, it will develop alternatives to the use of animals in research 👉 https://t.co/7uahtkNqRq

@OdedRechavi So, who killed Laura Palmer?

[Srinjan Lab @srinjan.bsky.social @srinjan_basu]

Proud to share our latest bioRxiv with Lakatos lab @LakatosLab showing how niche-specific mechanotransduction guides human cortical patterning and cell fate acquisition. How does a tissue's mechanical environment shape which cells it makes, and when? 1/n

This is important: without urgent action clinical academia in the UK is at serious risk of dying out.
