How are human brain regions connected? Are the connecting axons thicker and more myelinated the longer these connecting fibers are?

In our recent paper we find that indeed, they are! Read the skeetorial below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Sure, Would be cool! I’m there pretty frequently.

Congratulations Jason 👏🏼😀

Big thanks to Søren Fisker Schmidt, Stephan Herzig, Mauricio Berriel Diaz and all co-authors for making this possible 🫶🏻

Excited to share that our study on the role of the liver in #CancerCachexia is out in Cell! 😀 🧬

We found that the liver plays an active role in driving weight loss in cancer through disruption of the circadian regulator REV-ERBα and secretion of catabolic hepatokines

🔬 New study: The #liver plays an active role in cancer #cachexia via silenced clock gene REV-ERBα. Key step toward new therapies.

1/ Why do patients with late-stage cancer lose motivation & sink into apathy?
🔥 Our new Science paper shows chronic inflammation activates a cytokine-sensing brain circuit that lowers motivation. Huge team effort: Aelita Zhu, Sarah Starosta, Pignatelli & Janowitz labs! 🧵

See our recent @naturebiotech.bsky.social study SCP-Nano in flow! Mapping LNPs, AAVs, and DNA nanostructures to track targeting & unseen toxicity before clinical trials 🤩. Already >190K access, the most in recent years! 👇🏼 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As of today, the main finding of my PhD is published in the European Journal for Neuroscience! 🥳🥳

Together with Gesine Müller, we looked at hemispheric asymmetries in the mouse auditory cortex. We find layer, sex, and hemispheric differences: doi.org/10.1111/ejn....

LNP/mRNA therapeutics and AAV-based approaches require cell-level precision to achieve success without significant toxicity to other cells. To enable this, we developed SCP-Nano: an AI and tissue-clearing-based technology for precision nanotechnology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How does obesity reshape peripheral nerves and immune cells at the whole-body level? 🌟 Our preprint explores this using an AI-driven pipeline to precisely identify, map, and quantify these changes. Thrilled to share it with you here on BlueSky! 🦋😀

Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵Your weekend read👇

The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can persist in the brain—in the skull bone marrow and meninges—to induce neurologic damage

Yes 😀 but there wasn’t much going on Bluesky back then 😅

Thrilled to announce that our latest work has been published in Science and featured on the front cover!

Hey Bluesky! As Erturklab, we are also moving to alternative social media 😉. Stay in touch to follow our work on AI and tissue clearing driven cell-level imaging of intact mouse bodies and human organs, and how we use these methods to study diseases and develop therapeutics at the cellular level.

And our lab is here, too, now.

@erturklab.bsky.social

Stay tuned ...

bioRxiv goes big on Bluesky: accounts for all subject categories now available (Please Reskeet) connect.biorxiv.org/news/2023/09...

Hello Bluesky 🙋🏼‍♀️
