Fantastic meeting as always!

Two postdoc positions in the lab within the ERC Synergy project "Chronology" in collaboration with S. Ostojic, M. Jazayeri and V. van Wassenhove @virginievanw.bsky.social . Two focuses: sound sequences representations across the brain & novel all-optical technology. Contact: brice.bathellier@cnrs.fr

"The number one reason small businesses fail has nothing to do with the quality of product or reputation: it’s when they run out of cash, and it’s a fate that befalls junior research groups as much as small businesses."

Scientists design gene delivery systems for cells in the brain and spinal cord NIH-funded breakthrough could enable targeted therapies for many neurological disorders.

We've launched the Armamentarium, a new toolkit for targeted gene delivery to the brain and spinal cord.

This #OpenScience resource was made possible thanks to support from the NIH BRAIN Initiative and teamwork with our collaborators.

Engineered heart muscle allografts for heart repair in primates and humans - Nature Epicardial engineered heart muscle allografts from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes can safely and effectively remuscularize chronically failing hearts in rhesus macaques, leading to improved cardiac function and paving the way for human clinical trials.

A muscle patch developed using stem cells can help to repair failing hearts without adverse effects, according to a paper in Nature. #Medsky 🧪
