🧠 Mitochondrial dysfunction may be a key driver of migraines. This could explain why two supplements critical for mitochondrial function—Coenzyme Q10 and Riboflavin—reduced migraine frequency by up to 50% in randomized controlled trials. Let’s look at the evidence 🧵 1/11

Using modern biological tools, researchers engineered #cancer cells with and without specific chromosome abnormalities, showing how tumors rely on them for survival and clarifying the biological role of aneuploidy. Learn more on #WorldCancerDay: scim.ag/4hlUseP

Having a clear plan for a data analysis and visualization project is crucial. It ensures efficient resource utilization, timely insights, and accurate interpretation of findings, leading to informed decision-making. Here are the typical steps of a data analysis and visualization

My colleagues put together an ebook on tissue clearing (for #lightsheet microscopy). If you are like me and have only experience with live imaging and are a bit confused with the different acronyms flying around, I highly recommend you take a look! I counted 37 methods!

Visualizing complex data can be challenging, but Principal Component Analysis (PCA) offers a powerful solution. By reducing the dimensionality of data sets, PCA not only simplifies the data but also uncovers hidden patterns that can be missed in the maze of high-dimensional data.

A new protein sequencing method, which uses a biological motor to pull a protein through a tiny nanopore, could revolutionise protein analysis. chemistryworld.com/news/nanopore-…

Today in nature, we report human sensory #assembloids—the most complex 3D assembloids to date—comprising four integrated parts to recapitulate aspects of the spinothalamic pathway that processes pain stimuli. We use this model to investigate cellular/early circuit level

It's like ChatGPT, but for proteins 😍 See RFdiffusion in action. Instead of writing essays, this AI tool builds new protein structures from scratch, or based on your prompts (like a desired shape or motif). It's powered by a deep learning technique called diffusion models,

Chronic stress literally destroys the brain by interfering with protein and organelle quality control. Interestingly, acute stress does the opposite. nature.com/articles/s4158…
