New paper from our lab in #CellPress @iScience_CP!. The human brain emits light—faint, spontaneous photons arising from metabolic and electrical processes. These light emissions not only pass through the skull but also reflect changes in cognitive state, pointing to a new

Key numbers in cell biology. Having a sense of scale helps to think more rigorously and realistically about biological systems.

Here we go! 💡. If silicon chips can compute and communicate using light, it’s time we seriously consider the brain as a photonic information processor. Looking beyond action potentials to other physical modalities—like light—opens new ground for understanding complex phenomena.

Is this a symptom of a deeper, systemic issue? If we zoom out, we might see that how we define “good” science is often shaped by the consensus structures of the time. Peer review and journal gatekeeping have always been under scrutiny. With all the changes that are happening,.

Peer review is breaking down. As an editor, it's nearly impossible to find reviewers. Editors end up needing to review articles themelves, outside their field. A flood of dubious-quality research is overwhelming the system.

So grateful and beautiful to feel a life grow within you. and then witness it begin to take shape in the world, full of its own rhythm and potential.

Excited to see our brain photon work sharing the same digital space on Mitoworld: Biological light may be more than a byproduct -it could be a language. Mitochondria, long known as powerhouses, may also act as integrators and emitters of information.

Cellular communication during morphogenesis is traditionally framed through molecular signalling. But beneath it lies a more subtle and powerful layer: weak, invisible physical fields rooted in light, magnetism, and electricity that structure the flow of information and spatial.

When life begins, every cell knows exactly where to go. This stunning video shows a fruit fly (Drosophila) embryo developing in real time, thanks to light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM).

Water is not just a solvent, it can store energy and information. Mitochondria act as dynamic integrators, shaping and being shaped by structured water. Together with microtubules, this coupling forms a coherent system capable of supporting quantum-level effects that drive.

Absolutely @MedEckardt . Change can be difficult, especially when our identity is intertwined with a particular idea, field, or belief. That’s often when the challenge feels personal rather than intellectual. But that discomfort is also where growth begins.

@InTime_49 @msahsorin „It wasn’t until 1998 that neuroscientists found clear enough proof that they could no longer reject neurogenesis — the process of forming new neurons — because of neuroscientist Elizabeth Gould’s experiments on neurogenesis in macaque monkeys.“.
