Amazing new tool published @NatureBiotech on interactive analysis of single cell data. The study introduces CellWhisperer, an AI model that links transcriptomes with text descriptions to support natural language queries and zero shot cell type predictions, and integrates it with CELLxGENE for exploration. Really cool, no coding skills needed at all!

Here’s a special clip for those who believe unregulated free market capitalism is the only answer. It maybe the only answer for the top 1%, but what if I could prove that social democracy was more efficient, while at the same time delivering a more equitable society? Thanks to Cultural Perspective for the clip. Tid til at sige hej til mine danske venner og takke dem for deres støtte. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRddjjbH/

Where do cancers start? In the liver, not all cells are the same. The liver is divided into 3 “zones,” and each specializes in different metabolic tasks. We show in @Science that where a mutation occurs in a liver lobule can determine a cell’s fate. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… (1/9)

Great story by White lab member @CararoLopes @RutgersCancer @LudwigCancer @Princeton showing that mitochondrial respiration enables serine synthesis for the growth of lung cancer! Defective mitos cause dependence on dietary serine for tumor growth! rdcu.be/eAUIx

One year ago, I reserved and paid a deposit on two rooms at @Hyatt Place Princeton through @hotelsdotcom for my daughter's graduation. One day before arrival I learn that @hyatt canceled one room without explanation or recourse. Now am scrambling to find housing. Buyers beware.
