🚨 Two new preprints on BioRxiv! 🚨 We’re excited to share two complementary studies built on a shared dataset, exploring how cells regulate translation elongation under amino acid starvation, from computational and biological angles. 🧠 + 🧬 = 🔬💥 Read on 👇

[Nature Methods @naturemethods]

VeloCycle, developed by the team of @GioeleLaManno and @NaefLab is a manifold-constrained RNA velocity framework for uncovering cell cycle dynamics.

Individuals with low hepatic VLDLR mRNA levels exhibit lipid deposition in the coronary artery and an increased incidence of heart attack. This breakthrough could have major implications for cardiovascular disease research.

Thrilled to share that our latest research, led by @TomazMartini, has been published in Nature Communications! We discovered that VLDLR is highly expressed around hepatic central veins, particularly in female mice and premenopausal women compared to similarly aged males.

[The Naef Lab @NaefLab]

Indeed, looking forward to this collaboration with you @molina_lab! @epflSV @cziscience

[Nacho Molina 🇪🇺 @molina_lab]

I am very happy that @cziscience has selected our research project!

Congrats Nick & Tinh-Hai for very nice work! Happy it's out. Pretty impressive the Bayesian model that you implemented! I like the exact treatment of the continuous vs discrete ODE model (not so trivial...) Should be very useful for many case studies.

[Nick Phillips @NPSysBio]

Very happy that our article "Uncovering personalized glucose responses and circadian rhythms from multiple wearable biosensors with Bayesian dynamical modeling" is now online in Cell Reports Methods! (https://t.co/XUVZZ5SwFB) A brief overview... (1/5)

Excellent new paper by the @Fitzgerald__lab on sexual dimorphism in chronobiology, which is getting more and more interesting!

[Society for Research on Biological Rhythms @SRBR_Outreach]

What happens to your body under circadian stress, eg shift work, and does everyone suffer the same? @Fitzgerald__lab show that females are more resilient than males at behavioural and molecular levels, which may involve interactions with the microbiome:
