Hearty thanks to Prof. Anna Kruyer for writing an excellent News and Views on our paper! A great summary of the work, pointing out thoughtfully what we know and, critically, what we don't. nature.com/articles/d4158…

This is a really interesting paper! SNAP includes many astrocytic genes involved in homeostatic and cell-cell interaction functions! Congrats to Emi, Sabina, Steve and the team! An excellent read. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Does anyone know if there is a company that supports TILL Photonics hardware (e.g. Polychrome V and ISU)? It looks like TILL Photonics has been sold on multiple times and I can't figure out who is in charge.
