Hello! I'm Jane and I make nature inspired art using printmaking and mixed media processes including cyanotype, linocut and collage. I would describe myself as a left wing nature lover with plenty of woke thrown in! Would love to connect with like-minded folks on this platform 😊

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an important tool for analyzing the cellular composition and heterogeneity of organoids. Through scRNA-seq, researchers can accurately identify various cell types in neural organoids, including neural progenitor cells (NPCs), neurons, and glial cells.

I am a new user of Bluesky. I look forward to meeting industry elites in the same industry through this platform and having more exchanges and learning with everyone. 🤝
