Amazing work Gioele et al. Your talk about the lipid brain atlas and how it connects within a grand vision, this morning at VIB.ai, was truly spectacular. We were honoured to hear the story on the day of the preprint :)

Happy to finally see The Lipid Brain Atlas out! Lipids are not boring at all so, check it out!
Amazing team effort between computational and experimental work, led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with @gioelelamanno.bsky.social and @giodang.bsky.social labs. Proud to be part of it.
Lipids rule!

Such a treat to host @gioelelamanno.bsky.social (EPFL) today and be the first to hear more about his lab's latest work, posted just two days ago on bioRxiv.

Excited to share #uMAIA, our method to create 4D lipidomic atlases, now published in @natmethods.nature.com

We demonstrate that with uMAIA, the field is ready for atlas-level analyses capable of uncovering histological metabolic heterogeneity in both space and time. [1/2]

We found a new asymmetry in the large-scale chromosome structure: sister chromatids are systematically shifted by hundreds of kb in the 5′→3′ direction of their inherited strands! The work was led by Flavia Corsi, in close collaboration with the Daniel Gerlich lab.

Super thrilled to give a full day #DeepLabCut Workshop in Okinawa today!

We had a packed house and everyone got models trained 🚀 - even then used #CEBRA 🦓 and/or #DLC2Action on the outputs!

Thank you #OIST for hosting us!! 🥳
