So true, Alfonso! Hope we soon wake up again from this nightmare….who voted for this crazyness?!.
I went to the US in the late 1970s. I had heard so much about “America” and must say, it did live up to my expectations. I owe much to the US, not only my PhD. 🧵.

Exciting new tool to make the most out of multimodal single-cell data from our friends and long-term collaborators of the @fabian_theis lab - check it out, it works beautifully and really makes sense out of your complex data! 👇👍😉.
1/ Excited to see published in @Nature! We scaled Optimal Transport (OT) in single-cell genomics & added multimodality together with spatiotemporal trajectory inference, finding exciting new biology in the pancreas! 🚀 Read at

Nice to see our recent paper from a few weeks back taking off! Thanks and preXmas present to @JohannaSiehler and @BilekovaSara and our great team and cooperators @xlinkx_pd @SpeierLab @aman_ansar and others not on X and bluesky.
Top altmetrics score 2024: #17🏆✨. @LickertHeiko (@HelmholtzMunich) and co-authors show that #inceptor (insulin inhibitory receptor) regulates #insulin stores by directing proinsulin and insulin towards lysosomal degradation.

Cool new tool from Fabian‘s team- looks very useful!.
1/🚀 Excited to share RegVelo, our new computational model combining RNA velocity with gene regulatory network (GRN) dynamics to model cellular changes and predict in silico perturbations. Here's how it works and why it matters! 🧵👇.
