On popular demand, a thread:
1. Previously, together with Sol Efroni and Tom Misteli, Ph.D., we found that serum-grown (and thus 'confused') embryonic stem cells (ESCs) promiscuously express large portions of their genome:

We did it🥵 Team-HUJI Hebrew University ELSC Brain (The incredible Yoram Ben-Shaul & me) just finished Epic Israel 2021 (epicisrael.org.il), considered the toughest mountain biking event in Israel. 4 days, 20, 74, 120 & 72 km. Thanks HUJI for sponsoring us! Going to rest now...

Last March I proudly announced that our daughter Tamar had won a prize in a national competition for High School students' projects (ELSC Brain). Now she won the EUCYS2021 Neuroscience Award! Proud of you kid! 😍😚 (can I retire now..?)

Great pleasure working with Sol Efroni Sol Efroni et al. demonstrating that T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is a biomarker in anti-CTLA4 therapy. Interestingly, profound changes of TCR diversity and specific TCRs were observed at day 7 post-treatment. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Sol Efroni and colleagues found that Breast cancer is marked by specific, Public T-cell receptor CDR3 regions shared by mice and humans. Awesome. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

Surprising: the immune system of mice and humans uses the same T cell receptor sequences to deal with mammary tumors: plos.io/2NzsNxY Sol Efroni, Bar Ilan University, Gur Yaari, Francois Vigneault

Online symposium alert: Single cell analysis: from development to disease. Great lineup:

#COVID19 in Israel, Apr-3. More than 800 new cases per day in the last 2 days (linear projection: ~500+), more than half from ultra religious neighborhoods. Largest rise (36%) in EL'AD. We're still doing OK (should have had >10K in Apr-1), but the positive trend is reversing.

What a great way to celebrate my birthday🥳🥳
My new lab is ready, all the equipment arrived and we are up and running!
Exciting days to come 😀

Happy that our paper is out. We found extensive differential methylation between modern and archaic humans in genes affecting the face and voice box, suggesting that our voice box anatomy is not identical Eran Meshorer David Gokhman

How did Neanderthals sound like? We used reconstructed DNA methylation maps in ancient humans and identified differential methylation in genes affecting the voice box. Liran Carmel David Gokhman

Great honor to be selected 1st People's choice of Science's breakthrough of the year. science.sciencemag.org/content/366/64…. David Gokhman Jean-Jacques Hublin Hebrew University

IT'S OFFICIAL! @sciencemagazine's 2019 People's Choice for Breakthrough of the Year goes to...Hebrew University's Liran Carmel and David Gokhman.

Special thanks to the 34,000 of you who voted for us. It takes a village. And, apparently, a Denisovan.
