Excited about advancing potential therapies for T1D? If you have a background in developmental biology, along with experience in scRNAseq, let’s connect! #T1DResearch #celltherapy https://t.co/nGUxvnCtZI

Are you interested in pancreatic islet biology with experience in diabetes and beta-cells? Then, come help our research efforts and ultimately bring this cell therapy to patients!

New Perspective! The simple premise of much of synbio/genetic medicine is "If we design new DNA, cells will run the code" but unfortunately in reality synthetic transgenes are often silenced over time in cells.

@genegirl007 brought together this big group to discuss ways forward

@DarioGerace @TheMeltonLab @CellRepMed Congratulations @DarioGerace and co-authors!

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

@towernter @BolanosAnton me in the HBC courses! Haha

[Amanda A. G. Ferreira @amandaaraujogf]

Thank you @GordonConf for this beautiful framed picture of the Science magazine cover! It is always a pleasure to contribute to #Science in all possible ways. #STEM #WomenInSTEM #FlyEye

The authors show how pathogens activate hypothalamic neurons that control appetite too. It is fascinating!

[Nayara Leite @naleite]

From excellent science and seeing friends to meeting new people and having great food, #ADA2022 was a blast!

[Haas Lab @haas_lab]

Excited to share our most recent publication @CellStemCell. Unexpectedly, we found that hematopoietic stem cells act as antigen presenting cells! Antigen presentation safeguards the integrity of the stem cell pool and prevents the onset of leukemias

@RitterLab Fantastic! What is the is the red staining? Perforin or granzyme? #FluorescenceFriday

@stemcellreports @TheMeltonLab @harvardstemcell @VertexPharma @ISSCR @martinperaJAX I was drinking water! 😂

[StemCellReports @stemcellreports]

This is just one of many good things that might happen when you listen to the Stem Cell Report. Hear more from Doug Melton @TheMeltonLab & @naleite at https://t.co/8T5SyJZd3o & read their recent paper, https://t.co/xxOt5N7Oh2. @harvardstemcell @VertexPharma @ISSCR @martinperaJAX

[Nayara Leite @naleite]

Do you want to make cell therapy a reality for T1D patients? Are you interested in developmental and pancreatic islet biology with experience in scRNAseq? DM me for more info! @VertexPharma @TheMeltonLab @thesugarscience

[Nayara Leite @naleite]

It was a pleasure to participate with @TheMeltonLab on the @stemcellreports podcast. Thank you for having me!

[StemCellReports @stemcellreports]

👏 Our new podcast is out! Learn about the latest research & potential clinical approaches using #stemcell-based treatments for type 1 #diabetes. 🎧 https://t.co/QObNF93T52 Read 👉 https://t.co/Inxp7UDaG7 @martinperaJAX @TheMeltonLab @harvardstemcell @naleite @VertexPharma

[Nayara Leite @naleite]

I'm excited to share this opportunity to join our team @VertexPharma.
Please spread the word, and we’d love to hear from anyone interested in developmental and islet biology with experience in cell ontology. #T1DResearch #CellTherapy https://t.co/hD75MQGou4
