Astrocyte induction of disease-associated microglia is suppressed by acute exposure to fAD neurons in human iPSC triple cultures Lish et al. present a co-culture system of iPSC-derived human microglia, astrocytes, and neurons to investigate intercellular communication across different environmental and genetic contexts. Transcr...

New TYP lab publication led by PhD student @alexlish.bsky.social out today in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! We present a reproducible neuron-astrocyte-microglia tri-culture model to better reproduce intercellular interactions in Alzheimer's disease. Read more here: www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Silencing of transgenes during iPSC differentiation is a frequent problem. 🧬🫢

Check out the piggyBac system below, which has resisted silencing in many protocols across many labs. 💪

Excited that our lab could contribute to this team effort led by @tuenaka.bsky.social & Marius Wernig!

As Trump & Musk tear down our federal science agencies & jeopardize U.S. global science leadership, CA needs to step up.

I introduced legislation (SB 829) to create the California Institute for Scientific Research & solidify CA’s global science leadership in the absence of federal leadership.🧵

Congratulations Dr. @parkergrosjean.bsky.social! 🎓🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for your contributions to the Kampmann lab & UCSF - combining AI/ML with functional genomics to uncover regulators of neuronal activity.

We are missing you already - but excited for your next adventures at @insitro.bsky.social!

congratulations, @fredchanglab.bsky.social 🎉

It is important at this pivotal moment to @standupforscience.bsky.social. Looking forward to sharing my thoughts on why this should be a national priority at tomorrow’s rally in SF:

Thank you, Anne! :-)

thank you Emily :)

Thank you Frank :)

Excited for our iAssembloid work, led by @emmyli.bsky.social to be featured on the cover of today's issue of @cp-neuron.bsky.social
