In Greek mythology Aion is the god of unbounded time, contrasting Chronos, the god that represents progressive time. Chronos also has been around in the world of optogenetics since a while. So, it was time for Aion to enter the stage. https://t.co/G8TfRuElrO Thread 👇 1/9

And it’s out: https://t.co/oweCqRqj55 In this small study we show that engrafted iPSC cardiomyocytes can initiate an impulse that leads to whole ventricular contraction. These results highlight to watch out for graft-induced arrhythmia! @weinberf @SimWieg

As the time for @FENSorg approaches, the struggle of searching for poster abstracts on the official website becomes real. But fear not, we are back with the unofficial #FENS2024 abstract database, with a new, fast, and searchable format. https://t.co/wFc6nBbJzC
