🧴 #$AZTR +87% on skin: Azitra's ATR-COSF ex vivo study cut fine lines and improved elasticity in skin explants. But: ex vivo tissue, not a trial — and 10.2M shares traded vs 6.06M outstanding. An $8M micro-cap pop, not a proven product. Lottery-ticket sizing only. [NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, DYOR!]

There's so much about smart glasses that I want. AI too.

Shame we can't have nice things until we defeat global fascism. Maybe when the nazis are gone, we can have assistive explants as a treat.

A new paper by @yuritakahashi.bsky.social from @bensteventon.bsky.social lab @geneticscam.bsky.social describes a feedback loop 🔁 between EMT initiation and SNAI2-induced SMAD1 signalling in 🐤 explants. Migration -> ⬆️SMAD1 -> ⬆️BMP signalling -> ⬆️migration. #devbio

Explants are overtaking breast implant surgery.

For the first time, Andi Lew ( @andi.lew ) says, breast augmentation isn't the world's most common cosmetic surgery. Women are taking them out faster than they're putting them in.

A major addition was direct microrheology in intestinal explants using optical tweezers. This confirmed that NMIIA depletion reduces epithelial stiffness and established tissue deformability as a key parameter controlling susceptibility to junctional fracture.

No animals were used in this study. We used real udder tissue explants (not cell lines), sourced from abattoirs from animals already processed for the food chain - a nice example of the "Three Rs" (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) in action: nc3rs.org.uk/3rs-public

After that we could move to neuronal cell cultures or brain explants, grown into electronics like some existing experiments. This approach isn't as useful except for validating the accuracy of theoretical models.

@reitergroup.bsky.social @semilc.bsky.social & I were discussing already- agreed. Tissue architecture is not typical for airway tissue/explants, much more pseudostratified columnar, but #, scale, size of organelles is also unusual. 🔍/1

Extract: The PhD project focuses on developing an instrumented microfluidic platform for tumor explants, aiming to enhance preclinical models. The candidate will engage in device design, experimental methods, and multiphysics modeling.

@cilialab.bsky.social I have seen non-PCD human cilia in primary explants and they are amazing, but this image seems too good to be true. Do you think it could be real?

You just know we'll be training human brain explants for use in language models in no time.

My Alice petunia explants already undergoing shoot organogenesis after just 13 days from plating leaf disks. So fast!

8/n: The radially migration is also not dependent on chemoattractant ex vivo. We tested this with many different ways, one by flowing liquid on top the explants to wash away any potential chemoattractants, but this does not change anything. Asterisk = flow ON.

10/n: If the movement of the ectoderm has an effect on EM cells, then when the ectoderm changes direction, the EM cells should too. So we first looked at the edge of dewetting explants, and indeed, when the explant retracts, EM cells lost their protrusions and direction too.

Our preprint is out! 🧠🎉

How can we watch a mammalian brain circuit assemble while preserving its native connectivity?

Hindbrain explants let us follow the olivo-cerebellar circuit from before synaptogenesis through functional maturation at single-cell resolution.
