🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

🧪Move over CUT&Tag, there’s a new #TranscriptionFactor mapping method in town.
Our newly developed DynaTag is faster, cleaner, more sensitive than #ChIPseq, #CUT&RUN and #CUT&Tag.

...and it is a wrap! 4 days of fantastic talks and brainstormings on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of multiple sclerosis and how this knowledge has been leading to disease-modifying treatments. And what we still don't know and where we are/should be moving towards.
