Our paper is out in Nature today! We use Deep Visual Proteomics (DVP) to dissect α1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) in human liver at single-cell resolution.
Let us take a tour through proteotoxic stress in intact human tissue — one hepatocyte at a time.

It's time for individuals and organizations in Europe and other democratic countries to move mission- or life-critical IT services and infrastructure outside the reach of the US government; noting that US tech companies have already largely subordinated themselves.

What an outstanding study! This majorly expands our understanding by showing that glycosylated RBPs are not only present but also organized into specialized clusters. New avenues for cellular communication and therapeutic delivery strategies! Many congratulations @raflynn5.bsky.social and team.

I would frame it another way. Science is a method to answer questions. We have drifted away from asking questions, or at least from asking good, focused questions, framing testable hypotheses and then testing with good experiments. Big datasets can be very useful, but we need good questions.

For a good positive start, just a reminder that Claire Patterson was one of the greatest mass spectrometrist. It is very possible that most of us are alive because of him, and his will and determination to fight uphill. #proteomics #teamMassSpec
