Super excited to present our recent publication at the #OBS seminar series next week! 🎉
Come join us to talk about the coolest cell in our immune system (#facts). See you there!

How do brains fine-tune sensory information for better decisions?

Animal brains are constantly bombarded with sensory information — sights, sounds, smells, and more. A new Yale-led study reveals how a configuration of electrical synapses “filter” this information to guide behavior: https://t.co/opbzrGLE35 #Yale

Some people envision that biology will become engineering. We will all be using robots to screen millions of computer-generated molecules. If science stops being about playing, breaking things, brainstorming, and chance favoring the prepared mind, I think no one will want to do it. It won't be fun.

Excited to be part of this #Deep_Dive symposium via Zoom organized with #SITC, featuring some of the hottest science in the field of #neutrophils in cancer

Fascinating article in Nature about what is a cell type, really?‘Scientists have more information than ever on how cells differ — but they still resist easy grouping.’
It was a pleasure to speak with Amber Dance about this piece and contribute my 2 cents.

Is it possible to create an artificial cell from scratch? What kind of design principles and constraints will be involved? How can physics and maths guide research? Check our @RSocPublishing paper @AndreeaMuntean2 from chemistry to synthetic biology. https://t.co/67uUY8KXjQ

Why do we itch? Ask your immune system, and Dr. Sokol and colleagues. They provide a simple and elegant answer to this timeless question. Kudos to the authors on this fascinating discovery.

Thank you to Dr. Amir Bashan (Assoc. Prof. of Physics at Bar-Ilan University, Israel) for speaking as part of the #CSEI Seminar Series on his top-down approach to understand complex biological networks, such as human microbiome species, in health and disease. @YaleMed @YaleIBIO

For anyone curious about nonlinear dynamics and chaos, including students taking a first course in the subject: My lectures are freely available here. https://t.co/y5n3S9nXCx

[Ricard Solé @ricard_sole]

What can Turing patterns and physics tell us about life origins? How did the first protocells manage to self- replicate? Here's our @RSocPublishing paper based on Turing instabilities coupled with membrane instabilities https://t.co/3EkrEW1eRf Could this be tested in the lab?

[Jonathan Kagan @jkagan1]

An insightful highlight of our recent discovery that myddosomes contain the entire TLR signal transduction pathway. Many thanks to by @Blumenthal_Lab et al for their thoughtful commentary--and for the Tolkien-inspired title!

It took more than a DECADE... but finally it’s published!!! It started as a CRAZY idea but after tons of hard work we built it: We hijacked the endogenous secretion systems of Toxoplasma gondii, a brain parasite, to deliver active proteins to neurons 👇

Happy to see our paper out @nature today: A bacterial immune system conjugates ubiquitin-like proteins to phage tails. This generates non-infective virions

Congrats @Jens_Hoer & @ShaLGW!

For 25 years, the Toll-like Receptor pathway was considered a series of distinct protein complexes that drive inflammation. Today, we report that the entire pathway, from receptor to transcription factor, is executed from within one complex—the myddosome.

Benjamin Scott, assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University, explains why computational and systems neuroscience needs new ideas from other areas—developmental biology in particular.
