New paper out 🔥!
Small promoter, big potential🧬 We show that the ultra-compact Calm1 promoter efficiently targets human neurons in brain organoids and is a promising alternative to hSyn for AAV gene delivery.
Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this work!

Cells can sense the geometry of their environment, from tiny subcellular features to whole-tissue patterns. How can we engineer environments to systematically probe these responses?

As a biologist working on the cellular and molecular development of gills, I love seeing gill architecture inspire solutions like this plastic-filtering technology....truly inspiring 🦓🐟🔬
Mikroplastik stellt eine große Belastung für Mensch und Natur dar. Forscher haben nun einen Mikroplastikfilter für Waschmaschinen entwickelt, der sich an den Kiemen von Fischen orientiert. So können selbst winzige Kunststoffpartikel besonders effizient aus dem Abwasser gefiltert werden.
