Happy #Halloween Bluesky!

Hope y'all are having a spellbindingly good time!
Our good friend Nicco is hard at work making witchy potions woooooo......

AKA growing up a biiiiiig batch of #HeLa cells to help study #splicing.

What #spookyscience are you up to today?

We love some #oldschool slides!

Congratulations to @mdr-ddu.bsky.social for this amazing award, and to all the other winners

Opportunities Interested in the neuroscience of addiction? We are recruiting at all levels!! Reach out to Dr. Baranger – dbaranger@mcw.edu Postdoctoral fellows/Senior Scientists: Please send an email conta…

Excited to share that I am officially recruiting a postdoc to study the neurobiology of addiction! Looking for someone who would be excited to lead current projects in the lab and develop new directions in related areas.

Designer homes for mini-placentas: A bioprinted solution Mini placentas can be grown in the lab to study pregnancy and complications like preeclampsia. Using 3D printing technology, we have bioprinted the first placental organoids and studied the impact of their environment on cell behaviour.

Why do we still know so little about pregnancy? Claire Richards and Lana McClements write about their Nature Communications paper, explaining why sampling early placental tissue is risky, and how the world’s first bioprinted placenta organoids can help. #Academicsky 🧪

Wow! Those look amazing! I think we would not be complaining either 🤩

Oh gosh I think you got us beat! We were complaining bitterly about 15 degrees!

Morning sky-friends! We are delighted to share some ‘hot off the xray’ images from our talented scientists, Dr André Mourão & Ting Deng. They produced this beautiful diffraction of a compound bound to one of our protein targets whilst working with @esrf.fr

ICYMI: Targeting RNA splicing as an alternative strategy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia?

@prajishiyer.bsky.social & team find mutation in the RNA splicing factor SF3B1 activates the mTOR pathway to contribute to aggressive CLL: buff.ly/qkFAW4B

Good morning Bluesky! Are we feeling the Autumn chill yet?
The #Dundee chapter of Unleash certainly are!

NEVER!! All of our scientists were very enthusiastic!

Good morning Bluesky!
We have reached the end of our UNLEASH meeting and are all preparing to head home.
We are full of enthusiasm and renewed purpose, and we look forward to keeping you all updated on our work!

Tell us - what do you want to know about us?

#SciComm #RNA #Splicing

Canvassing suggestions!
What is the collective noun for a group of scientists on a hike? 🤔

A group of 9 scientists in casual dress standing having a discussion over cups of tea.

Even during a break the #ScienceChat never stops!
#Unleash #RNASplicing

Wonderful read on microexons — their regulation, cross-species functions, disease relevance & therapeutic potential.

It's day 2 of the UNLEASH meeting! We are in beautiful Bernried and looking forward to hearing more about the progress our members have made unpicking the details of #AlternativeSplicing!

SpliceCoord is an R-based computational tool that analyzes long-read RNA sequencing data to identify coordinated exon splicing events.

Soon to come - meet the teams!

We are all here in sunny Munich to talk about the progress we have all made UNLEASHing the secrets of #AlternativeSplicing

Members of four different scientific groups across three different countries collaborating and sharing data.

Follow us to see our progress too!
