Our ENS is vital to gut-brain health. When it breaks down, so does health. Treatments? Almost none. Access to functional human enteric neurons at scale powers research, disease modeling and therapeutic discovery. Grateful to everyone who made this possible.nature.com/articles/s4158…
Congratulations Sadaf! I highly recommend Dr Sadaf Amin’s Lab!
I am thrilled to announce that I will be starting my lab at @washumedicine, Department of @washu_pathology as an Assistant Professor this month. The lab will study the role of innate immunity in neurodegeneration and brain aging. We'll be hiring at all levels. Details soon!

Happy to share our recent review as part of the @CellStemCell Hallmarks series, co-authored with friends/colleagues/collaborators, Anne Brunet (@BrunetLab) and Peggy Goodell (@Goodell_lab) Hallmarks of stem cell aging: Cell Stem Cell cell.com/cell-stem-cell…
Today in @Nature! Researchers led by Drs. @homamajd & @FaranakFattahi introduce a platform based on human #pluripotent stem cells for therapeutic development targeting GI motility disorders. 💡 Learn more: go.nature.com/3Ta1PeN
🚨Fascinating study⏩Engrafted #NitrergicNeurons derived from #hPSCs improve Gut dysmotility‼️ @Nature🆕🔥 📢Human pluripotent stem cells-derived #ENS platform for #therapeutic development targeting GI motility disorders #EntericNeuropathies #DGBIs👏 @homamajd @FaranakFattahi…
Out now in @Science! We and the @KuchrooLab described responses of enteric neurons to inflammatory cues during infection, showing that primary sensory neurons detect type 2 cytokines, balance neuropeptides, and influence site-specific immunity. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
We are still accepting applications for our new Master’s program! This is designed to train the next generation of leading researchers in stem cell and regenerative medicine, with classes & hands-on research at one of the world's largest stem cell institutes. Apply before 4 Apr!
Incredibly proud of you Faranak!
Thank you, Madhu! Grateful for the opportunity to visit you and your incredible colleagues at @MayoClinicGIHep. Truly inspired by the outstanding science and exciting discussions!
Congratulations Shingo!
Thank you! This is an incredible honor. I would like to thank my mentors, colleagues, and all the fellows who have worked with me over the years - Please come join us at ADA in Chicago!

Yay Shingo! • Shingo Kajimura, PhD is the recipient of the 2025 Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award of the ADA, which recognizes research in diabetes that demonstrates particular independence of thought and originality. @KajimuraLab
Experience the magic of Tahoe-100M thanks to @fabian_theis's group and #Scanpy.
Interested in exploring @vevo_ai’s massive Tahoe-100M single-cell perturbation dataset? #Scanpy now supports out-of-core analysis, powered by Dask—allowing you to seamlessly work with a single huge AnnData object without loading everything into memory. 🔗 theislab.github.io/vevo_Tahoe_100…
It was fun talking about AI x Bio with @nabilwrites!
“The hardest problem to solve is how to build multidisciplinary teams that function coherently” I love this insight from @genophoria, Core Investigator at the Arc Institute, which this week released Evo 2: the largest AI model for biology to date, trained on over 9 trillion (!)…
Congratulations @Ryxicon and @kaltschmidt_lab!!
So excited about this paper! Congratulations to all authors! Enteric glutamatergic interneurons regulate intestinal motility: Neuron cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
Excited to announce my new lab at @UMich_MCDB opening Jan 2025! 🎉 We’ll study how cells work together to shape the GI tract, with ties to regeneration & disease. Hiring at all levels—esp. a research tech to help launch the lab! Info: huyckelab.org #DevBio #CellBio
Beautiful research emphesizing how you differentiate your neurons really really matters. Congratulations @tallguyinlab , @FaranakFattahi , @AlirezaMajd93 and Ryan Samuel et al!
Choose your cells' path wisely—early life experiences could lead to a personality crisis! Check out our new preprint by @tallguyinlab et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Impressive
@iamjohnnyyu, @nalidoust, @kevansf, and I are excited to announce a historic achievement by our team at @vevo_ai: Tahoe-100M, a 100M single-cell transcriptomic atlas, measuring how thousands of drugs impact cells from 50 diverse cancer lines. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
