Biggest medical discoveries of the week (🧵) 1/10 Spinal cord injury triggers activation of T cells, inflammation, and death of neurons Editing the T cell receptor, using mRNA, suppressed this, and helped recovery from the injury (in mice!) (Paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…)

Aspiring to be a physician-scientist? Check out this fantastic opportunity. Deadline is October 31st!

For nearly 2 decades, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) “genome-wide” association studies only covered the autosomes. Today we unveil the X chromosome and prioritize SLC9A7, a.k.a. NHE7, as an AD risk gene. Article: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… Editorial: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

#AI-powered virtual cells will transform how we model cellular biology. At Stanford University, our Head of Science Stephen Quake & co-founder Priscilla Chan discussed how technology can help with big challenges related to data, modeling + collaboration

Today, we kick off National Postdoc Appreciation Week at UTSW! Starting strong with Jen Heemstra presenting this morning at 10:30 am in the Graduate School 120 Lecture Room. You don't miss any of this week's exciting events!
