Happy Birthday to the brilliant Bill Watterson, born July 5th 1958! 🎂 Thank you for giving us the timeless adventures of Calvin and Hobbes, reminding us of the magic in everyday life and the power of imagination. 🌟✨ #CalvinAndHobbes #BillWatterson #HappyBirthday

What does the future of spatial omics data processing pipelines look like ? Meet Sparrow, our new human-in-the-loop interactive pipeline that facilitates better quality control, improves segmentation and leads to better downstream analysis Lotte Pollaris biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Convinced to try it out, or feel like contributing ? Have a look at github.com/saeyslab/napar… We offer an API, a Napari version, and tutorials to get you started !

Great work by Lotte Pollaris Benjamin Rombaut Wout Vanhenden and Ruth Seurinck at SaeysLab, Bavo Vanneste at Martin Guilliams lab, Charlotte Scott lab, Arne Defauw, Julien Mortier, Frank Vernaillen and Evelien Van Hamme at the Spatial Catalyst and all collaborators

Fibroblasts are everywhere in our tissue as structural cells, yet we are only beginning to understand them. Today in nature, we report that lung-specialized alveolar fibroblasts orchestrate lung homeostasis, inflammation, and fibrosis. 🧵👇(1/n) nature.com/articles/s4158…

We report on a cancer vaccine technology based on encapsulating peptide antigen and TLR agonist in LNP. Collab with Laoui Team @ VIB-VUB and bart lambrecht Sponsored by European Research Council (ERC) StichtingtegenKanker sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If you’re interested in the application of single cell/spatial tech to oncology, pls checkout our new review in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology. Great collaboration with Joakim Lundeberg, Julia Chen & Ludvig Larsson. rdcu.be/dOFpo Garvan Institute of Medical Research Garvan_Cancer_Ecosystems

Must read: "New frameworks for hematopoiesis derived from single-cell genomics" by Ksenia Safina and Peter van Galen! I am biased considering our preprint describing the 'multi-track model' is given some airtime. Thank you 🙏 ashpublications.org/blood/article-…

What? An Immunity paper without scRNA-Seq and new cell subset description? Thank you Marc Bajenoff & Co! CSF1 as an tethered endothelial-derived niche and growth factor for non-classical monocytes, the blood-resident macrophages: cell.com/immunity/fullt…

Happy to see our work, Nova-ST, a new open-source platform for high-resolution spatial transcriptomics published in Cell Cell Reports Methods cell.com/cell-reports-m… 👇

Happy to share our new paper: A spatial expression atlas of the adult human proximal small intestine, out today in nature: nature.com/articles/s4158…. We describe the zonated expression patterns of cells along and across the villus axis in the healthy adult small intestine.
