It’s alive on BioRxiv! Super excited to present our paper on CRISPRi-based screens in 3D neuron-astrocyte-microglia co-culture (iAssembloids) to examine neuron-glia interactions. Description of this work in the thread below! Too many words! (1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

CRISPRi-based screens in iAssembloids to elucidate neuron-glia interactions

The sheer complexity of the brain has complicated our ability to understand its cellular mechanisms in health and disease. Genome-wide association studies have uncovered genetic variants associated...

A very thoughtful critique of the "information arms race hypothesis"
ethanbass@Bass_E_24 Sep 2021
New preprint: Is the "information arms race hypothesis" of plant-insect coevolution compatible with standard evolutionary theory? We think not. See our critique at ecoevorxiv.org/xsbtm/ in @ecoevorxiv
