Excited to share this new work exploring EV heterogeneity! It was amazing to be a part of this international team!

Congratulations to first author, Taylon Silva! 🎉

Extracellular vesicle heterogeneity through the lens of multiomics
Silva and colleagues refine an EV isolation method to optimize recovery of cancer-derived large oncosomes (LOs). This approach enables high-yield profiling by mass spectrometry and bulk/single-LO RNA-...

Please help us spread the word, as this will be the first year of our program.

If you have any questions, please reach out!

This is a two year, paid program (with benefits!). It is ideal for someone who would like to go to graduate or medical school.

It was wonderful to develop the curriculum for this program (travel! research! clinical experiences!) and I can't wait to see who applies (applications due 4/18/25).

I am excited to finally be able to share with you our work reporting the first Extracellular Vesicle with a personality! This video does not show a cell, it is a Blebbisome! #CellBiology

Excited to share our recent work, looking at the predictive capacity of tertiary lymphoid structures in the tumor microenvironment for head and neck cancer patients receiving immunotherapy.

Congrats to lead author, Dr Daniel Ruiz Torres!

I target a score between 50 and 70 on Flesch-Kincaid readability tests. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flesch%...

I'd love to know if other folks use this (or what else they use to make sure they hit the right level).

I typically share this text readability calculator with folks I'm mentoring for grant writing. I use it frequently to make sure my layperson abstracts or summaries read at the right level.

Sharing it here in case it is helpful for others. goodcalculators.com/flesch-kinca...

Thanks for highlighting our work, @atranscendedman.bsky.social!

Will share more soon on how this work came about (and how we had to challenge many conventions, such as 'there are no viral particles in blood'). Done in partnership with @gmboland.bsky.social. Extra thanks to @adarshc.bsky.social

Boston study tested 168 patient samples using a microfluidic chip that detects intact SARS-CoV-2 particles at just 3 copies/ml.

This tool differentiates active infection from RNA remnants, aiding diagnosis and monitoring.

Microfluidics can be used to isolate intact viral particles from a variety of biofluids potentially informing infectivity.

Research and personal life collided when my friend shared that her daughter Leah was battling Medulloblastoma.
Despite the past few weeks being very difficult, Leah created this video. They are wanting to see how many views Leah can get before Christmas! Please share

Found this downstairs today and started to wonder if perhaps I'm bringing my 7 year old to lab too often.
