New insights into alcohol-related liver disease: in the recent preprint, we mapped niche-specific cell interactions at ultra-high resolution (2μm spots), described hepatic niche markers, and cell subtypes defined by them. Stay tuned!

Can we please take a moment and congratulate my colleague
@georg-semmler.bsky.social with publication of his study on Tangier disease, an extremely rare disease caused by ABCA1 defect with no existing treatment?
Great journey with lipidomids & metabolomics of TD 🧪

Recently, I had several conversations with my American friends regarding Trump's statements on #Ukraine and the "urgent need" for elections in Ukraine. Given that this topic is of high speculation currently, I am sharing a personal viewpoint from a recent reply:

After years of confronting the russian propaganda narrative on "NATO-funded bioweapon research in Ukraine," I feel somewhat disappointed that it's not true. If it was, that would be a hell of a PhD project idea without even needing to leave my own country.

It's fantastic to see more scientists 🧑‍🔬👨‍🔬, including here at the MUW campus in Vienna, joining bsky. Research feeds here are real gems.

However, we should consider the risks of further internet fragmentation & botnets (witnessed both on recent topics and ru-🇺🇦 war). No good/working solutions so far.

1/ 🧪🧵Porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (#PSVD) is a rare condition. Despite its known hallmarks, much remains unclear, including its pathobiology and the potential for non-invasive testing.

Our new paper explores PSVD from a metabolomics angle:

In the newest issue, Cell Systems published a Voices piece detailing the impact of the Russian invasion on Ukrainian scientists. Among the co-authors, many members of our community contributed with their stories.

We are incredibly proud to share that more than 200 Ukrainian students enrolled in our practical course on RNA-sequencing data analysis.
Those who participated in the coursework, completed tests, and submitted course projects received certificates - but more importantly, skills for independent work.

So, what's your favorite for everyday tasks in #ComputationalBiology? #Python or #R?
