🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

Our paper has sparked a lot of people asking me – so Keri, what’s the tldr – is there, or isn’t there, new neurons in the human hippocampus?

It's a little more complicated than a yes or no IMO.
Updated from the preprint, our paper, "Spatiotemporal analysis of gene expression in the human dentate gyrus reveals age-associated changes in cellular maturation and neuroinflammation" is now published.

Our paper is now live on bioRxiv! 🤩 @giorgitos.bsky.social has done an amazing job breaking it down in this thread. Take a look!
🧵 1/ Excited to share our new research on immature neurons (ImN) in the adult human brain and their roles in healthy aging, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and cognitive resilience. Here’s what we discovered 👇

Not checking nuclear markers like MALAT1 or intronic reads in your scRNA-seq data?🚨
We show their power to flag low-quality cells—even in top public datasets. It’s time to prioritize better QC for cleaner, more reliable genomics research!
