Spatial transcriptomics (ST) should be conductive to anyone who has done microscopy in their lives, but it's not! Resolution vs coverage tradeoffs, static workflows, heavy data analysis still plague it... IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THIS!! INTRODUCING NaVis www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

#PI advice: be 10% rigor and 90% fun. You don't need to be an a#* to give guidance about formal PhD matters! 😂 (And I'm lucky to be surrounded by such fantastic lab members)
Invading Greenland would start a war. A war would give him unprecedented necessity (and thus justification) to cancel the next elections cause, you know, there's a war. There you go. NOT EVEN BERLUSCONI GOT THAT MAD!

Guillaume Jacquemet@guijacquemet.bsky.social · 8mo agoI will be recruiting two postdocs early next year. - One image analyst - one biologist interested in working on lymphatics! Reach out if you are interested 👍
Entering Xmas Eve celebrations at home in Italy be like... Cheers everyone! See you next year!! P.S. artist is the almighty Jason Dement, you should definitely check him out!
IzziLab PhD #2!! Congratulations @AnnalenaDittman for a great defense and the almighty @JamesConway for the stimulating conversation (and for keeping it well below the 6 hours mark)!! #ProudisimoPI
Dear Santa, I know you're busy (and you gotta focus on my daughter first) but my house is small so if you could go Gutenberg-style and print this beauty...
30 n*zis try to put up a show in Oulu. They are met by more than 100 anti-n*zis in front of the city hall. Sh*theads are booed all the way back along their retreat line. MATH AND HUMANITY STILL MAKE SENSE IN OULU 💪💪💪 www.kaleva.fi/aarioikeisto...
Äärioikeiston marssi keräsi vain 30 osallistujaa Oulussa – Vastapuolella toista sataa äänekästä mielenosoittajaa
Äärioikeiston 612-soihtumarssi keräsi vain 30 osallistujaa Oulussa, kun vastapuolen mielenosoituksessa oli yli sata henkilöä. Poliisi erotti ryhmät toisistaan itsenäisyyspäivänä.

Rijuta Lamba, Alexandra Naba @nabalabuic.bsky.social, @valerioizzi.bsky.social and team present MatriCom, a single-cell RNA-sequencing data mining tool to infer cell–ECM interactions. Highlight: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... Article: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... #OpenAccess
Am I back from the best conference ever? Yes! But do I also see a crucial tool for the analysis of the #ECMatrix in scRNAseq? Also yes!! Another fantastic tool in collaboration with @nabalabuic.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥
Naba Lab UIC@nabalabuic.bsky.social · last yr.Perfect timing on the last day of the 2025 #Collagen Gordon Research Conference! Our paper, in collaboration with @valerioizzi.bsky.social describing #MatriCom, a tool to infer ECM communication systems from scRNA-Seq datasets, is now published in @jcellsci.bsky.social! doi.org/10.1242/jcs....
It's all a scheme by big antivirus software companies!!!! 😂😂😂
Janelle Shane@janelleshane.com · last yr.1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
Anyone attending the ECM Nexus Joint Meeting of the German, Danish and Finnish Societies for Matrix Biology in Freiburg??? Let's catch up!!! Find us in poster #32!!! @matrixbiologie.bsky.social @valerioizzi.bsky.social @ccstorytime.bsky.social @nystromlab.bsky.social #ECMnexus
A fantastic seminar coming your way? Yes!! But is it also free? Yes!!! But is it also about the ECM? YES!!!! Register now!!! 👇👇👇
