@Matt_Muscle_Guy Such a great story!!!

[Gilbert Lab @GilbertLab]

Thanks for this invite to share our work. So many great questions to help guide our thinking and future experiments 🙏

[Myogenesis Discussion Group @MyogenesisGroup]

Seminar Alert ‼️ We’re thrilled to host Dr. Penny Gilbert (University of Toronto, Canada) on Monday, May 26, 2025 | 2–3 PM EST 🧠🧬She’ll be presenting: “Engineering niches to uncover satellite cell regulators” Join us virtually! #ScienceTwitter #MuscleResearch #ScienceSeminar

[Vera Pieters, PhD @VeraPieters_]

It is true what they say: it takes a village... 🏘️🌳🐄

...to complete a PhD degree in Biomedical Engineering! 🎓🧫

A village full of amazing mentors (@alisonmcguigan @GilbertLab ), lab mates, friends and family—you made the hard days easier and the good days even better!

[Signals @Signalsblogs]

Recent PhD graduate @VeraPieters_ is our latest @MbD_UofT profile subject. She worked in the labs of @alisonmcguigan and @GilbertLab @UofT where she engineered #3D tissues to mimic human organs. Read more here and ideally offer her a job! https://t.co/kRNIpPhX4K

@DrAdamPSharples Thanks Adam for serving as appraisor and examiner for Katys defense! Your insights have already made her upcoming manuscript submissions stronger 💪

[Adam Sharples Ph.D -Blue Sky🦋@profadamsharples @DrAdamPSharples]

Congratulations to Katy Tipper in @GilbertLab for successfully defending her PhD thesis on developing 3D human culture systems for assessing force, anabolic response and type-II diabetes! Thank you for the invite to examine the thesis! Katy did a wonderful job!

[The Company of Biologists @Co_Biologists]

We are looking forward to meeting everyone in Liverpool next week for our special 100-year anniversary conference. We have a busy, fun-filled programme. You can follow all the action from Biologists @ 100 at #biologists100. https://t.co/9mcGyFzNCp

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's a dedicated organization to oversee the servers] https://t.co/4siujZbXxF 1/n

[bioRxiv @biorxivpreprint]

🎉bioRxiv & medRxiv are now managed by openRxiv, a new independent nonprofit. This transition allows for more flexibility and innovation. Our community-centered mission remains being a free service to authors ensuring rapid sharing of scientific information before peer review. 🧵

Thrilled to share LUNA🌕 – our new generative AI model that reassembles tissues from dissociated cells! Think of it as AlphaFold for cells 🧬

From the MERFISH mouse brain atlas to the scRNA-seq atlas & Slide-tags datasets, LUNA is widely applicable. Bringing us closer to virtual tissue modeling 🧠

Super proud of @yistyu – what a way to start her PhD!🙌 And huge thanks also to all our collaborators @thecekbote @stephanedascoli @pafrossard Nikita Morozov Jiashuo Fan
