Today was a second day of annual Dutch Neuroscience Meeting. A lot of great talks and high-quality science. Gunjan Bawne presented recent exciting updates on our work on EV-bound miRNA as modulators of SARS-CoV2- induced neurodegeneration. #EVs #neurodegeneration #SARS-CoV2

Enjoyed co-organizing the workshop "From Animal Research to New Approach Methods: Navigating the Transition" at #NWOLife2026 with Judith Homberg, Alexander Heimel & Monique Wolvekamp. Thanks to Saskia de Jager, Clemens Kocken & Marijn Kuijpers for sharing how both approaches can drive innovation.

On my way back from Dutch Organoid meeting. Once again enjoyed excellent lineup of speakers. And Suki Lee did excellent job in presenting our NHP intestinal organoid biobank. We are already looking forward to give an update on that next year.

Publication alert! 📄 Our new paper in STAR Protocols presents a novel co-culture protocol for small intestinal organoids and MSCs and demonstrates how it can be used to study MSC-driven repair mechanisms following chemotherapy-induced damage. 👇 star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/4670

Today is the start of 2 days of meetings of RFK Jr.'s ACIP, where vaccines skeptics outnumber actual scientists and medial experts. Their target: the Hep B vaccine, which has a ~90-98% (after 3 doses) effectiveness rate in preventing infection for up to 30 yrs. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Doctors warn delaying hepatitis B shot for newborns could revive a deadly threat

As RFK Jr.'s new vaccine panel ponders changing the hepatitis B vaccination schedule, some doctors recall past patients, including children, who died painful deaths before there was a vaccine.

The Trump NIH animal research move is not about organoids, or animals. It's about politics.

Be on the lookout for political wedge issues coming from the Trump administration. It's what they do.

"draws sympathy. Justifiably so. We should want to reduce animal research as much as we possibly can and still allow new cancer cures to be unlocked. Scientists too want to reduce animals in research as much as they can, and study animals only when realistic biology is absolutely needed. "
