Pleased to share our latest study using super resolution to show that a pathogenic Tau mutation drives autophagy-lysosome dysfunction that limits Tau degradation in a model of frontotemporal dementia by the amazing Dr Mirfakhar 🔬🧫 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Congrats to Tiger Jian on leading this innovative study advancing vascularized human organoids for therapeutic testing. Great collaborative work from the Pelletier, Wrana & Attisano labs. @JeffWrana @UofT @SinaiHealth #Organoids #BiomedicalResearch
(1/6): How can we better test therapeutics without using animals or risking lives? Lab-grown human mini-organs, called “organoids”, provide an answer! Despite their progress, organoids and related methods lack realistic flow through blood vessels, the “plumbing” of our bodies.

Chromosomes stuck behind the spindle are ticking time bombs for aneuploidy. We uncovered a mechanical rescue mechanism where microtubule pivoting repositions these high-risk chromosomes! Out last week in @NatureComms, here's a thread 🧵 shorturl.at/OD89x

Consider collab. w. Arlotta Lab, (Harv.) they have had multi-cell organoids (neuro) for some time + are prob. interested in implementing vascularization. Best of luck!

This is fascinating! By introducing physiological vascular flow in vitro, you're opening new avenues for understanding how hemodynamic forces shape vascular architecture. Have you observed any significant differences in the vascularization of organoids compared to native tissues? And how might these insights help in developing treatments for Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia?

First time I’ve seen real scientific figures that look like those absurdly inaccurate magical science clips shown in movies or tv series. Kudos to the authors for making them so attractive! -and for their paper, of course-

Cool! You could likely use in silico models made by Peter Balogh and Prosenjit Bagchi to predict capillary dynamics and RBC partitioning, then use your vascularized organoids to test their predictions. @PBNeuroVascLab
