Researchers led by Maike Sander, Scientific Director of the Max Delbrück Center, have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance, published in Developmental Cell, promises to…

Overview of the workflow of STaCker

STaCker is a deep learning algorithm designed to register a “moving” spatial transcriptome slice to a “reference” counterpart. In this work, we use the terms “reference”, “moving” and “moved”…

This study demonstrates that the KCNQ4 c.546C>G variant is significantly associated with an increased risk of high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss, particularly at 8 kHz, and more severe tinnitus, as measured by the Tinnitus Handicap…

Structural determination of the native AcMNPV nucleocapsid

To determine the cryo-EM structure of the intact DNA translocation portal of AcMNPV, we extracted intact BVs by a single concentration step to the medium of our infected insect cells,…

InMoose ports to Python prominent features from well-established R packages, to provide a single entry point for bulk transcriptomic data analysis. Our approach is to be as faithful to the original tools as possible, as demonstrated by our…

Horse recruitment

A total of 58 racehorses (Thoroughbred horse) were used in this study. These racehorses were bred in the same racecourse and trained under the same conditions for more than 4 months. They all followed the same daily training…
