To proliferate or to differentiate. Our latest study out @CellReports shows myostatin is a central regulator of neural stem cell fates during spinal cord regeneration. #zebrafish #SCI #devbio https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(22)01579-0

When I wrote this piece about the #twittermigration of #sciencetwitter last week, #Mastodon had gained 100,000 users since Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
When I updated it a few days ago, it was half a million.
Now, @Gargron just announced that there are 1 million more users.
The speed and scale of this is remarkable and I know that countless people worked hard to manage it. Thank you!

Skeletal muscle is the only interface our CNS has with the outside world. So it stands to reason that the CNS communicates with skeletal muscle through multiple mechanisms. In our new preprint https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.20.423533v2 we show neuroinflammation activates a brain-muscle signaling axis that regulates muscle performance #myotwitter #muscle
With three simple steps and in just 48 hr, EZ Clear effectively renders adult mouse organs optically transparent while preserving signals from fluorescent reporters. https://elifesciences.org/articles/77419
EZ Clear for simple, rapid, and robust mouse whole organ clearing

With three simple steps in 48 hr, EZ Clear effectively renders adult mouse organs optically transparent while simultaneously preserving signal from synthetic and endogenous fluorescent reporters and is compatible with wholemount immunostaining and cryosectioning followed by histological or immunofluorescent staining.

I little bit prouder today of my institution. MIT is hosting its own #mastodon server

mastodon.mit.edu

See you there soon

Americans - Please vote today 🙏

Especially young people.
Remind your family and friends to vote.
Please. Everything is at stake.

Great to witness activity building here. Will hang on to any hope on a day like today. Hope everyone is voting!
@MokalledLab already finding other science peeps who have made it here--I think this bodes well
