I'm delighted that in a few weeks time we'll be opening up the applications for the 41st Cell physiology workshop @cpw-liverpool.bsky.social Register you interest in the MS form, and we'll email you an form in a few weeks when applications open! forms.office.com/e/PTh5qMvmUM

Happy to share our new preprint doi.org/10.1101/2025... We present a protocol to generate Parasympathetic neurons from hiPSC. They express key parasympathetic/autonomic markers, #ephys features and respond to nicotine. They can also form functional connections with hiPSC-atrial cardiomyocytes.

Generation of parasympathetic neurons from hiPSC that reproduce the electrophysiological properties of native neurons and modulate the activity of hiPSC-atrial cardiomyocytes

Peripheral parasympathetic ganglia lie adjacent to their target organs; their dysfunction contributes to diseases like atrial fibrillation. Due to their challenging accessibility for primary culture, ...

#CPW2025 is now over, but we're already planning for #CPW2026 🦑🧠🫀🔬 To receive updates & find out when applications open for next year's Cell Physiology Workshop in Liverpool, go here: forms.office.com/e/PTh5qMvmUM Please share the link with your electrophysiology trainees. 🙂

Happy to announce our preprint going live on BioRxiv! Interested in what’s happening to your fibroblasts’ transcriptomic phenotype once it’s in culture? Look no further! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @denklab.bsky.social #fibroblast #scRNAseq #culture #invitro #keloid #ECM #matrix #mesenchymal

Single-cell RNA sequencing clarifies dermal fibroblast subset representation in vitro and reveals variable persistence of keloid disease-associated features

In vitro models of scarring and fibrosis are essential to improve our understanding of disease mechanisms and ultimately develop much-needed effective therapeutic strategies. This is particularly true...

Cannot believe that week one of the @cpw-liverpool.bsky.social is nearly over! A brilliant week so far! Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far, especially to the @biologists.bsky.social for their funding of our 40th workshop!

The @cpw-liverpool.bsky.social has completed the first week; another brilliant first week with an outstanding cohort of participants! Looking forward to week 2…after a few nights sleep!

Some scenes from this year's Work Experience event, where we hosted a group of A-Level students for a week and gave them a variety of demonstrations, hands-on experiments, and lectures.

I can never get bored of recording action potentials from my iPSC sympathetic neurons and the RMP was -70mV 😍 #patchclamp #ephys

Honoured to have presented at the super cool Ephys Club⚡😎👩‍🔬 and thank you for all the constructive comments!

Ana Dorrego Rivas@adorrego.bsky.social · last yr.

Another successful Ephys Club! Pizza 🍕, refreshments 🥤 and an amazing talk from Laura Fedele, who set up a rig all by herself and managed to get successful recordings from iPSCs all in less than a year! Thanks to our sponsor Scientifica for making it possible!

Many thanks to @theorah.bsky.social who did a wonderful job as our comic artist and bringing Professor SPaRC to life!

Wolfson SPaRC@wolfsonsparc.bsky.social · last yr.

Introducing Professor SPaRC! To contribute to Science Week, members of our department will be visiting local schools to teach children about the brain and the human nervous system with models, interactive classes and comics! @kingsioppn.bsky.social #BSW25

Super happy to share our work just published in @jphysiol.bsky.social led by Neda Mohammadi and a amaxing work by all the authors! We show that sympathetic neurons can enhance the maturity of stem cell derived cardiomyocytes structurally and functionally- exciting data for neurocardiac models!

Congrats to the team for their ongoing commitment to the IoPPN Research Culture Fund in their successful running of the CommuniTEA event on Guy's Campus! @lau-fed.bsky.social @juliavw.bsky.social ☕️ #CommuniTEA Learn more here: www.kcl.ac.uk/news/seven-p...

These research models trump cards look so much fun!! Amazing work @comeflywithjo.bsky.social !!! #StemCells #STEMoutreach #neuroskyence
