Researchers at KI and @yale.edu have created a multidimensional, molecular map of how the mouse #brain develops after birth and how it reacts to #inflammation. The study is published in @nature.com. 🧪 #neuroscience news.ki.se/scientists-m...

Excited our paper is out! G-quadruplex (G4) unwinding via an intricate G-loop assembly and disassembly mechanism maintains genome integrity. Pioneered by Koichi Sato with great collaborators Jing Lyu and @simonelsasser.bsky.social Check it out: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adr0493 🧵(1/4)
RNA transcripts regulate G-quadruplex landscapes through G-loop formation
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are prevalent DNA structures that regulate transcription but also threaten genome stability. How G4 dynamics are controlled remains poorly understood. Here, we report that RNA tra...

We are excited to share our latest preprint led by Ruta Meleckyte and Waz Varsally! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We generated a set of human isogenic induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) that are autosomally identical but differ in sex chromosome composition: XX, XY or monosomic X
A human induced pluripotent stem cell toolbox for studying sex chromosome effects
Sex chromosomes shape male (XY) - female (XX) differences in development and disease. These differences can be modelled in vitro by comparing XY and XX human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). H...

So excited to announce that our study on the development and evolution of pallial cell types and structures in birds, led by @bassi-z.bsky.social, is now out in @science.org!
www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Developmental origins and evolution of pallial cell types and structures in birds
Innovations in the pallium likely facilitated the evolution of advanced cognitive abilities in birds. We therefore scrutinized its cellular composition and evolution using cell type atlases from chick...

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

This is our most recent work !🐙 Following the recent discovery of a ZZ/Z0 sex chromosome system in cephalopods, we show that the single female octopus Z is compensated similarly to the female avian Z and show evidence for a male-specific Z-linked lncRNA that may be involved in dosage compensation
