Our new paper is out in @nature.com! We uncovered how a naked mole-rat queen 👑 controls an entire colony: a natural contraceptive scent that suppresses reproduction in other females! A remarkable mammalian parallel to bees and ants! 🐝🐜 @garyrlewin.bsky.social youtu.be/enfv3zJrWKM?...

New research maps the proteomes of individual sensory neuron subtypes, revealing how protein-level changes drive nociceptor sensitization, opening fresh avenues for #painresearch. @garyrlewin.bsky.social @amapruns.bsky.social
Deep visual proteomics uncovers nociceptor diversity and pain targets - Nature CommunicationsSensory neuron subtypes are defined by transcriptomics, but their proteomic identities remain unclear. Here, authors show distinct protein signatures of electrophysiologically defined nociceptors and…buff.ly
This has been a great #lndw25 on @campusbuch.bsky.social! Thank you for everyone who made this happen! 🎉
Wonderful visit @mdc-berlin.bsky.social thanks @hannahornberg.bsky.social for the invitation and congrats @khallaf.bsky.social for showing me such cool data on naked mole rats!
Mohammed KhallafIncredibly special and inspiring talk today by @dulaclab.bsky.social at @mdc-berlin.bsky.social. Thanks to @hannahornberg.bsky.social for inviting Cathrine to visit!
#LNDW is celebrating 25 years of science and discovery – with a special reduced price of one night for just €5. The #mdcBerlin and others open their labs on June 28, 2025. Visit us at #CampusBuch! Our full program here 👉 www.mdc-berlin.de/long-night-s... 👈
From an #AI-powered search engine for omics data to a scalable drug screening platform for neuromuscular diseases – 4 of our labs present their projects at @biovaria.bsky.social #techtransfer networking event! www.biovaria.org/ @danilexn.bsky.social@nukappa.bsky.social @garyrlewin.bsky.social
Honored to present my work on naked mole rats from @garyrlewin.bsky.social at the @modolfor.bsky.social symposium (@silkesachse.bsky.social) during the Göttingen Neuroscience Meeting #NWG @neurowissg.bsky.social —and finally getting the famous and amazing Drosophila from @katrinvogt.bsky.social!!
