I am excited to share my TED Talks at #TED2022 on how lab-grown neural cells and circuits can contribute to reverse engineering human brain development & uncover the biology of neuropsychiatric disorders ted.com/talks/sergiu_p… #assembloids #organoids #brain #Mentalhealth

I'm incredibly excited and proud to finally share the main results of my #PhD where together w/ Leo Foerster and Martin Villalba we attempted to reveal organizational princples of #Glioblastoma through the lens of adult neural #StemCell biology Martin-Villalba Lab DKFZ #PrePrint #Tweetorial🧵

Congratulations to Martin-Villalba Lab on their latest bioRxiv. Some great Resolve Biosciences #singlecell #spatialtranscriptomics data too...

Next on the #SRCKC23 stage is Martin Villalba (Martin-Villalba Lab) joined by graduate student Alena Laier from DKFZ! #stemcells

EMBO meeting on aging! Super exciting program: meetings.embo.org/event/24-aging And the meeting will take place in the gorgeous city of Nice, "baie des anges" (bay of angels) 🤩

Check us out in the The Kansas City Star! President and Chief Scientific Officer, A. Sánchez Alvarado, sat down with Katie Moore to discuss the exciting #regeneration #research happening at the Institute with #zebrafish, apple snails, #planarians & more! 🐌🧬 Read here: kansascity.com/news/local/art…

Scientists from DKFZ Martin-Villalba Lab & Uni Heidelberg showed that epigenetic changes reprogram astrocytes into brain stem cells. This discovery shows that astrocytes could potentially be used in regenerative medicine to replace damaged nerve cells. nature ➡️ t1p.de/bctp1

Faszinierende Studie! Wird hoffentlich neue Wege für die regenerative Medizin im ZNS ermöglichen

🎉 Excited to share our latest study in @nature, showing that DNA🧬 #methylation is key to stemness in the adult #brain: nature.com/articles/s4158… A collaboration with Simon Anders, driven by Lukas PM Kremer and Santiago Cerrizuela. #epigenetics #neuroscience #singlecell. Pre-print summary 🧵👇

Hirntumoren bestehen aus Zellen in verschiedenen Aktivierungsstadien. Forschende von DKFZ und Universität Heidelberg entdeckten ein Signalprotein, das die Krebszellen im Ruhezustand halten könnte - mit der Hoffnung, das Tumorwachstum aufzuhalten. t1p.de/p5r6s

Brain tumors consist of cells in successive stages of activation. Researchers at DKFZ and Heidelberg University have discovered a signaling protein that could keep the cancer cells in a dormant state - with the hope of halting tumor growth. #Glioblastoma t1p.de/mbmec
