We’ve trained a multimodal AI model to turn routine pathology slides into spatial proteomics, with the potential to reduce time and cost while expanding access to cancer care.

In the @NewIndianXpress I trace the views of physicist and cosmologist Max @tegmark, whose “Life3.0” had impressed me in 2017 with its intelligent, humane, yet essentially optimistic view of the evolution of Artificial Intelligence. His views have evolved with the dizzying developments in AI — and he is now ringing the alarm bells. Read on:

Delighted that the Patna Bird Sanctuary in Etah (Uttar Pradesh) and Chhari-Dhand in Kutch (Gujarat) are Ramsar sites. Congratulations to the local population there as well as all those passionate about wetland conservation. These recognitions reaffirm our commitment to preserving biodiversity and protecting vital ecosystems. May these wetlands continue to thrive as safe habitats for countless migratory and native species.

💗My new cover for @NatureBME: Branched #organoids uncover hidden diversity in cancer🦀

The cover illustrates diverse pancreatic cancer organoids. @MaxReichertMD, @arispapargyriou and colleagues from @TU_Muenchen have developed a new 3D culture system called “branched” organoids.

They’re called #branched_organoids because, unlike typical #spherical_organoids, they grow outward in complex, tree-like shapes with multiple protrusions or “branches.” In #adenocarcinoma, real tumors often grow in irregular patterns with branching structures. The new 3D system allows organoids to mimic that invasive growth, capturing both the shape and behavior of cancer more realistically.

😉So, long story short - we have now a better model to study pancreatic cancer in vitro!🧪

Timescales in Cell Biology

It takes an average of 10-15 years to bring a medicine from discovery, through clinical development, and then to patients. We’ve been working to cut that timeline in half. Learn how we're accelerating the process from lab to patient: https://t.co/K1WVX8IRlj

#UlcerativeColitis is a chronic, debilitating disorder caused by persistent inflammation of the intestinal lining – also known as mucosa. Mucosal healing is when the intestinal lining is restored, and inflammation is reduced.

Wanna hear another awesome story about midbodies? In collaboration with the amazing @KASchindler27 lab we found that translation occurs during meiosis. The mouse oocyte inherits the translating meiotic midbody and polar body does not, thus retaining the RNA in the egg

Gearing up to build on the idealized mycoplasma whole cell model by @MartinaMaritan and @grinche using cell shape from cryoEM. Here's a concept sketch for the attachment organelle, based on available experimental and predicted structures of the components. Highly speculative!
