What if you could image cells in fixed tissue sections, choose which ones to sequence 🔬, and then return to the same cells after NGS?.Light-Seq⚡️🧬: high-res spatial sequencing of cells in fixed tissue for directly linking imaging + NGS + protein stains!.

@pratik_katte @SrikarVaradaraj @danesonance @sciqst see our paper for more on DNA photolithography . More to come on Digital Bio soon - stay tuned! We’re coming out of stealth in 2025, with supercharged measurements to design and screen biomedicines ⚡️🧬.

Happy holidays from the Digital Bio team! . We've hijacked photolithography -used in printing silicon chips- to print DNA. This is our logo printed in DNA on a biological tissue. Much more to come from us in the new year, using this to fuel an engine for biological medicines 🚀

Not everyone who dies gets to come back and tell their story, but thankfully Freddy did. A reminder to hold the people you love a little closer tonight, that medicine and health are the greatest gifts, and that at the end of the day, we're all patients.

Nice translatable approach for IDing new rejuvenation factors for primary human cells from @amplesa and team. Super exciting to see potent single-factor effects for wound repair - the old mouse skin in Fig 4e is truly wild.

Can we reverse aging? .7 yrs ago, Ocampo et al. showed that partial reprogramming can ameliorate aging hallmarks. But, OSKM induction has safety limitations & no new factors have emerged since. Here, we used 🧬 screens to find new rejuvenation factors🧵1/8

(3/4) Screening of engineered cell interactions w/in tissue microenvironments will blow open this future of biologics. Engineering cells is virtually limitless, but parallelized functional screening remains nearly impossible. .

(2/4) Shuttling foot soldiers (therapeutic proteins) in an armored car (engineered plasma cells) with other tactile passengers to get them where they need to go, safely. Oh, and pumping out 10,000 soldiers/second, for years! Amazing work from Rich James:

(1/4) There are >200 approved protein therapeutics. Major limitations are the need to constantly re-dose and high potential for unhinged immune responses. Engineered plasma cells (ePCs) are among the most exciting modalities in therapeutics today 🧬🦠.
