This isn't a contour map, but a monstrous effort of our histologist (aka magician) to multiplex 26 different clinical blocks onto two Xenium slides... the real hero behind our spatial work! #xenium

🌟After tons of fun and work BiaPy is finally out! 🔗nature.com/articles/s41592-0… Big thanks to all the collaborators, especially to Daniel Franco-Barranco (his brain and heart) and Ignacio Arganda-Carreras (brave co-supervisora).
🚀 Excited to share that our work on BiaPy has been published today in Nature Methods! BiaPy makes deep learning accessible for bioimage analysis, from small datasets to terabyte-scale 3D images. 👇(1/7) 🔗 nature.com/articles/s41592-0… #DeepLearning #BioimageAnalysis #BiaPy

This is the best in vivo AP propagation movie we got so far. Recorded at 1k Hz from the axonal branches of a fly CNS neuron, using voltage indicator pAce.

PrePrint alert!💥TRP channels are widely known as key players in pain signalling. TRPM3 has received a lot of attention lately, but the mechanisms driving its sensitisation during inflammation remain poorly understood. Here, we tried to increase our insight into this topic👇1/8

So happy that I can finally share the results of my first postdoc paper with @baym!! Turns out plasmids are an amazing system to study multi-scale evolution and we can track within-cell and between-cell dynamics! Here’s a photo of plasmids competing inside cells in a colony (1/n)

New discovery: Researchers from @MIPS_Australia and @WEHI_research have discovered how to “switch off” a molecule which is among the top culprits behind prostate cancer, and is also linked to lung and kidney cancers. Published overnight in @PNASNews

So excited to be part of this work and programming biology! 🤖🧬🧫
We're thrilled to present ESM3 in @ScienceMagazine. ESM3 is a generative language model that reasons over the three fundamental properties of proteins: sequence, structure, and function. Today we're making ESM3 available free to researchers worldwide via the public beta of an API for biological intelligence. Trained with over a trillion teraflops of compute, this is the first time a model of this scale has been trained for biology, pushing the frontier of AI for biological discovery and engineering. ESM3 learns to represent the immense complexity of protein biology, learning from billions of natural proteins. From this training it developed the capability to design proteins, responding to complex prompts combining atomic level details and high level instructions to generate new proteins. ESM3 can explore protein space far beyond natural evolution. We prompted ESM3 to generate a fluorescent protein at a far distance from any known fluorescent proteins, searching an unknown region of protein space, to discover a new fluorescent protein. We estimate this is equivalent to simulating five hundred million years of evolution.
