What if we could look at a human tissue image🔬and quantify its biological age?🧬 And how could we get the same insights without collecting the tissue sample? In our new @biorxivpreprint, we create "tissue clocks" ⏳to do just that! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 📝 #aging #tissue thread below⬇️

I agree that they are more similar than most make it to be, and often conceptually the same just operating on different units (pixels vs cells).
In our UTAG work e.g a key step is the joint unsup. clustering across images weighting more recurrent struct. across images, less image-specific artifacts

Great to be at the 2025 @OeGMBT meeting in Innsbruck and hear the diverse research made by the local community, in particular by the young researchers who presented their work.

Thank you to the organizers, and to Markus Mandl for the invitation to talk!

CAR T cells showcase the enormous potential of cell therapies, but often fail due to lack of evolutionary optimization. Today in @nature.com , we use #CELLFIE to engineer cell therapies at scale and share the largest resource of CRISPR screens in CAR T cells. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

CELLFIE, a CRISPR platform for optimizing cell-based immunotherapies, identifies gene knockouts that enhance CAR T cell efficacy using in vitro and in vivo screens.

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

Thrilled to share that our lab has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for QUANTAGE! 🎉 We will build a quantitative framework of tissue architecture to bridge molecules, cells, tissues & organs — uncovering how aging unfolds and disease begins.

CeMM @cemm.oeaw.ac.at · Sep 4

🎉 Congratulations to CeMM PI @andre-rendeiro.com on receiving an #ERCStG by @erc.europa.eu

His project will map how #aging manifests across cells, tissues & organs, paving the way for new insights into age-related diseases.

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

Google Scholar Is Doomed

Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Have $10M and want to cure some diseases?

It costs ~$1B to invent a new medicine…but $10M buys you Project Encore, to see if ANY existing drug might be repurposed for ~100 diseases that have no treatments.

I received some old microscopy slides from the 1800s, when at-home microscopes made it possible to look at hidden worlds of diatoms, polycystina, and other teeny tiny things.

I made this website so people today can take a look too: microspeci.men

Enjoy! #scienceisforeveryone #microscopy #HistSci
