A triumph of perseverance from twitterless Tom Weber, Christine Biben and the team, our in vivo barcoding "LoxCode mouse" used to resolve epiblast fate to fetal organs is finally published in @cellpress.bsky.social and available through @jacksonlab.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

LoxCode in vivo barcoding reveals epiblast clonal fate bias to fetal organs

Much remains to be learned about the clonal fate of mammalian epiblast cells. Here, we develop high-diversity Cre recombinase-driven LoxCode barcoding…

Start a lab in Australia @wehi-research.bsky.social. and don't assume we're a scientific backwater. WEHI had Science, Cell and Nature Medicine papers among others all in the last month. Wet have a kick ass environment that values discovery, translation and spin outs.

World-first: researchers have discovered what protein #PINK1 looks like in humans and how it is activated, solving a decades-long mystery in the fight against #Parkinsonsdisease. The team hope to use the knowledge to find a drug to stop #Parkinsons.

Eric Topol @erictopol.bsky.social · Mar 13

More than 2 decades ago the PINK1 protein was found to be linked to Parkinson's disease, but its structure and how it was activated was not known. Until @science.org today. A triumph for cryo-EM and structural biology, introducing new targets for drug intervention.

I guess I don't understand what you mean. What constitutes a 'way of doing science' and when was the last 'better' way of doing it?

Shalin H. Naik @shalinhnaik.bsky.social · Jan 18

Disagree. With appropriate funding, new models could thrive.
