Tired of battling with noisy single-cell datasets? spinDrop to the rescue! We implement a sensitive droplet microfluidic system that discards empty droplets, cell multiplets and damaged cells from the sequenced dataset using droplet sorting. A 🧵(1/11) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our work on the self organization principles of stem cell derived embryos is finally published in Nature Cell Biology @NatureCellBio, special thanks to my supervisor @ZernickaGoetz, and wonderful collaborators @jake_cs_, Matt Thomson, @JoachimDeJonghe rdcu.be/cVvDl

Congratulations to all these wonderful people with whom this very long journey was most special @GianlucaAmadei1 @CEHandford @JShendure @hollfelderlab @JoachimDeJonghe @ElowitzLab @CXchengxiangQIU @tranmartink @d_y_chen @Cambridge_Uni @Caltech and more ..
Our paper is finally out! After 10 years of model building we generate complete embryoids from three types of stem cells - they develop heart, brain structures and more. We show the first proof of concept knocking out a gene required for neurodevelopment nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

A tour de force in synthetic embryology. Truly mesmerising pieces of work! Was extremely lucky to witness the development and execution of this project over years in the skilful hands of @GianlucaAmadei1 @CEHandford Kasey and collaborations of @MZG_Lab. Congrats all 👏🏽
After building embryoids for 10 years, we succeeded in generating structures with brains, hearts, neural tubes, somites with a yolk sac. Both original submissions using two different approaches are on BioRxiv, to be published soon. eur03.safelinks.protection.o…

Congratulations @ZernickaGoetz @GianlucaAmadei1 @CEHandford and everyone else in the team!!!! It’s amazing to see how these embryo-like structures have improved throughout the years. This new achievement is just wow!!

Replying to @GianlucaAmadei1
@GianlucaAmadei1, @CEHandford @ZernickaGoetz and collaborators with the lab put forth amazing effort to expand Gian's 2018 work over the past few years! These advanced cultured embryoids incredible. The first time Char called me over to see the heart beating I almost fell over!!

Excited to see the new gastrulating ETiX system as an extension of @GianlucaAmadei1's induceable model on biorxiv today, where early stages of organogenesis are recapitulated in vitro. Special thanks to @ZernickaGoetz @CEHandford and @GianlucaAmadei1 for the collaboration.

New paper from the lab! We developed a novel human organoid that periodically forms somite-like structures. The spheroid of human iPS cells elongates and starts forming pairs of somites according to the segmentation clock. nature.com/articles/s41467-0… 1/

Hot of the new home-built macroscope. 3 minutes of retinal waves imaged over entire retina. (5x speed). Scope designed and built by incomparable Ben Smith, biology provided by ⁦@atiriac1⁩ and ⁦@MiahPitcher⁩. So much more to come!
