Happy to share my PhD work @Dev_Cell describing

• touch sensory neuron morphogenesis at hairy and hairless (glabrous) skin
• how skin directly instructs touch end-organ formation
• the role of BMP signaling in shaping Meissner corpuscles

Check out the preprint from the Ginty lab: Josef Turecek developed the technique to record from Pacinian neurons and other LTMRs in freely moving mice. He found Pacinian neurons encode the rich vibrotactile information from self movement and environment. https://t.co/X1xPQXmdxT

HMS News article on new research from David Ginty and colleagues, first author Charalampia Koutsioumpa @charalkt. Studying mice, they found that sensory neurons develop customized nerve endings based on cues from the skin. @harvardmed

It was a blast to attend the Keystone Sensory Systems symposium - amazing science, great people, and an inspiring Nobel toast by @ardemp and D. Julius!

So happy to present my Ph.D. research and explore Lake Tahoe with my Ginty labmates #KSVSensory22

[Akos Nyerges @AkosNyerges]

Join us this Thursday, Oct. 13, for the @broadinstitute's Next Generation in Biomedicine Symposium - for talks around biomedicine & biomedical engineering.

I will talk about Genetic Code Engineering & how to achieve resistance to all viruses.

Really cool finding showing that transient changes in perinatal circuit activity affect brain structure and function in adulthood! https://t.co/tQ4ECZTxbp

[Chara Koutsioumpa, MD/PhD @charalkt]

So exciting !! Congrats Akos😊🧪🦠👏

[Akos Nyerges @AkosNyerges]

Excited to share our new preprint describing
• how to achieve resistance to all viruses,
• a novel technology that biocontains engineered genetic information, &
• how viruses overcome genetic-code-based #virus resistance
