Social media account of the ERC SyG funded project UNLEASH. We will harness the splicing code for targeted control of gene expression using small molecules!
Happy #Halloween Bluesky!
Hope y'all are having a spellbindingly good time!
Our good friend Nicco is hard at work making witchy potions woooooo......
AKA growing up a biiiiiig batch of #HeLa cells to help study #splicing.
What #spookyscience are you up to today?

today in i’m not crying, you’re crying, found some projection slides on unc-52 splicing, old school scicomm right here. so simple. so perfect. #celegans

Why do we still know so little about pregnancy? Claire Richards and Lana McClements write about their Nature Communications paper, explaining why sampling early placental tissue is risky, and how the world’s first bioprinted placenta organoids can help. #Academicsky 🧪
Designer homes for mini-placentas: A bioprinted solution
Mini placentas can be grown in the lab to study pregnancy and complications like preeclampsia. Using 3D printing technology, we have bioprinted the first placental organoids and studied the impact of their environment on cell behaviour.

Morning sky-friends! We are delighted to share some ‘hot off the xray’ images from our talented scientists, Dr André Mourão & Ting Deng. They produced this beautiful diffraction of a compound bound to one of our protein targets whilst working with @esrf.fr
