🚨#Alibaba DAMO Academy × Westlake University develop ReproPerturb, an AI model for stem cell reprogramming
Predicts cell reprogramming recipes from 4M combinations
Generates hypoblast-like stem cells sustained 50+ passages
Now applied to Parkinson’s cell therapy research
We are thrilled to share our work for the development of iPEX, a spatial proteomics technology. In this method, we integrate chemical anchoring of proteins, isotropic tissue expansion, and mass spec imaging for protein mapping (https://t.co/2eXWoxY417) (https://t.co/pZZwzKmqe6).
Mary Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell – who have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine – gained decisive insights into how autoimmune diseases arise.
Brunkow and Ramsdell made a key discovery in 2001, when they presented the explanation for why a specific mouse strain (named scurfy) was particularly vulnerable to autoimmune diseases.
The medicine laureates had discovered that the mice have a mutation in a gene that they named Foxp3. They also showed that mutations in the human equivalent of this gene cause a serious autoimmune disease, IPEX.
The 2025 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.”
Saddened to hear of John Gurdon’s passing. A brilliant scientist, generous mentor, and endlessly curious. When he examined my PhD viva in 2006, he’d just come from doing experiments at his bench - at 73. He shaped so many careers, including mine: https://t.co/p0OrXZv4Yy
BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi "for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance"
Stay tuned for more.

Investigators from @WEHI_research and @MonashCCS have shown that the LMO2 transcription factor, a key driver of human T-lymphoblastic #leukemia, inhibits thymocyte competition in a transgenic mouse model and that this enables LMO2 to promote leukemia. https://t.co/WvDtsB7Hh5
We are mourning for the passing of @methylnick. He was humble, knowledgeable and supportive to all that needed training and help in #bioinformatics and #genomics
Our thoughts go out to the grieving family, friends and colleagues.
Gone from our sight but never from our hearts
