📢📢📢How can we obtain a robust outer radial glia (oRG) population in 🧠organoids from guided differentiation? Exogenous LIF does the trick.
Our new paper shows that cortical pericytes are among the cell types secreting LIF. Adding pericytes to cortical organoids recapitulates…

Can I just say that I am SO PROUD OF THESE TWO. ❤️❤️❤️

The Accorsi Lab 🐌 opened its doors and I am navigating my first week as Assistant Professor UC Davis! So much needs to be learned, but I am excited to start this journey!

I'm absolutely thrilled to share that our work on human centromere variation and evolution has been published in nature! We completely sequenced all centromeres from a second human genome & compared them to those from the first complete human genome, uncovering new sequences,…

I am excited to share my most recent work from Iain Cheeseman’s lab, in which we harness context-specific genetic requirements to identify a new regulator of cohesin and genome integrity! Please join me for a 🧵

So pumped to be a part of the inaugural class of RCSA fellows! Special thanks to Amanda Hargrove for the nomination. Major thanks also to Franz Lab & Duke University Chemistry for the constant support. Can't wait to meet the other fellows in May!

🎉Congrats to Simón(e) Sun, PhD \ simonesun.bsky.social & Dan Levenstein for their paper in Cell Reports! They identify a multiphasic mechanism for synaptic adaptation to neuronal inactivity that leaves the window open for neuronal plasticity. Read more here cell.com/cell-reports/f…

And it's #tweetprint week! A preprint from my work as a postdoc in Tiffany Schmidt lab. We studied retinal function in a mouse model of #Autism and found dampened sensitivity to light in a type neuron in the retina.

Excited to share our new preprint where we uncovered how inhibitory interneurons in the retina process color information in their dendrites.

So excited to share Sarah Soliman’s new inducible systems for controlling mESC behavior! Sarah built these systems as a stepping stone to studies of tissue organization, but as our neighboring labs began to make use of these tools we knew it was time to share them with the world!

We wrote about why this shouldn’t be the case! Spread the word! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Our commentary in Cell is out!
Rigorous science demands support of transgender scientists.

If we want to have an academy that is for all people, then we must do the work to bring it into existence.

trans liberation is tied up in every fight for liberation and the success of these movements depends on truly radical action.

we are fighting for a better future for everyone, we hope you'll join us cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Happy to share our recent publication. In Brief: Preventing Beta Cell Dysfunction | Joslin Diabetes Center joslin.org/about/news-med…

So proud to share our commentary that's out in Cell today. We discuss the historical context for the systems that oppress trans people, how this has shaped research, and how individuals and institutions can support trans people in STEMM.

so glad to see this paper finally out! grateful to everyone who helped bring this story to life 🤗

if reproduction, stress response signaling, or adipocytes are your jam, then this is the article for you!

see reply for my tweetorial last year on the pre-print version 📄

Lab's first research grant funded ✔️
Dystonia Medical Research Foundation selected our proposal 'Relationship between cerebellar Purkinje and nuclei cell spike signals in dystonia' for funding.
We are looking forward to work with DMRF towards our common goal of finding new therapies for dystonia.
