This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to three scientists for discovering a class of immune cells that help to prevent the body from attacking its own tissues

go.nature.com/48QDdAJ

Medicine Nobel goes to scientists who revealed secrets of immune system ‘regulation’

Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi discovered cells that protect the body from autoimmune diseases.

Happy #PluripotencyDay! We hope your cells are relaxing in some mTeSR™ Plus this weekend. 😌🧫

#Oct4

Illustrated comic featuring six panels, involving a pluripotent stem cell engaging with a scientist. The setting include a coffee shop named "Cell Culture Café" and a series featuring products like "STEM Blend Serum Caffeine" and "Colony Cold Brew."

1: Cell approaching Cell Culture Cafe
2: Scientist asks "The usual" pointing to a menu of drinks
3: Cell says "Yup, but better make it a double!"
4: Scientists says "A double of mTeSR™ Plus? You must be fueling up for a big weekend!"
5: Cell says "You bet! I've got 72 glorious hours of self-renewal with no supervision" while drinking mTeSR™ Plus.
6: Cell says "Nothing beats your special recipe, Tenneille!"

Here's a reminder on #InternationalCoffeeDay: It's OK to take a (coffee) break. ☕

"It’s ... helpful to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life as a grad student," a #PhD student wrote in this 2019 #ScienceWorkingLife. https://scim.ag/4nvLTBb

People arm in arm while drinking coffee and holding papers, with text: Why scientists should take more coffee breaks.

STEMCELL Technologies @stemcell.com · 7d

"All experimental protocols were preceded by the standardized ingestion of a caffeine solution (coffee), without which no reproducible results could be obtained. Caffeine supplementation was deemed essential for ensuring baseline cognitive function and sustaining pipetting accuracy."

There's one important component missing from most Methods sections... 😉☕️

Dr. Annie Kathuria's team at @hopkinsengineer.bsky.social led a study where patient-derived cerebral #organoids were used to research biomarkers for conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. 🧠

Neural basis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder found in brain organoids

Using brain organoids, scientists discover how neurons might misfire due to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
