Transgels enable live imaging of parasite infection in caecal models. Watch larvae invade epithelia in real-time & observe mechanisms like syncytial tunnel formation. Huge congrats to super talented @MoritzHofer_ and thanks to Maria Duque-Correa for the fantastic collaboration!

Bioengineered GI organoids just got an upgrade! Our new Transgel system combines 3D complexity with bilateral accessibility & remarkable observability, enabling advanced studies on tissue dynamics, stem cell niches, and host-pathogen interactions.🔬

Super excited to share our latest work published today in @NatMetabolism handled by the amazing Alfredo Gimenez-Cassina. We showed western diet driven lung glycogen accumulation is a driver of both early tumorigenesis and progression.

🚨 Stop chasing the p-value!
Increasing your sample size will always yield a significant result.
Even for trivial differences.
🎮 I created a little interactive playground to illustrate this issue:

Always pair p-values with effect sizes!

Super excited to introduce QUICHE (Quantitative InterCellular Niche Enrichment) - a statistical method that can be used to discover local cellular niches differentially enriched in spatial regions, longitudinal samples, or clinical patient groups :) (1/10) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Please RT. I am currently hiring graduate students and postdoc fellows. Details can be found here: postdocs.stanford.edu/prospe… My lab is dedicated to developing and integrating imaging, AI, and spatial omics technologies to uncover mechanisms driving disease initiation, progression, and therapeutic response, with the ultimate goal of advancing next-generation theragnostics to cure diseases. We are excited to be equipped with cutting-edge spatial omics technologies, including Xenium spatial transcriptomics @10xGenomics and Phenocycler-fusion @AkoyaBio .

📢The Zlitni Lab at UCSF is recruiting postdocs (experimental and computational) to join our team. We study microbial communication & quorum sensing in the human microbiome, and how these processes influence health and disease. To apply shorturl.at/erriN Please share widely
I love this!
Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: ow.ly/5vat50UwZAo
