I animated neuronal plasticity—the brain's ability to constantly strengthen/weaken synapses based on electrical activity (spikes). Key to all learning! 🤓💥

Dive into the lytic cycle! A bacteriophage injects DNA, hijacks the host, and rapidly replicates until the bacterium lyses, releasing a new swarm of virulent phages!

Angioplasty treats blocked coronary arteries by inflating a balloon via catheter to widen them. A mesh #stent is placed to keep them open, restoring blood flow and relieving symptoms like angina. Minimally invasive and vital in heart attack care.

Let’s explain the “classic” allergy (Type I) using #allergy to cats as an example! 🐱 There are different types of allergies, and symptoms can differ. Many complex factors determine if and when you develop an allergy, and much is still unknown 👀 #SciArt #SciComm #Science #DigitalArt #Animation

🤩Delighted with my new editorial! @crg.eu researchers combined genomic and structural data to overcome saturation, enabling ancient relationship reconstruction even with predicted protein structures. Now in @naturecomms.bsky.social: shorturl.at/l5ovK

New editorial work for @crg.eu! I had the pleasure of illustrating Lehner lab's most recent findings, published in @nature.com, where the creation of the "Human Domainome v1" reveals the root cause of heritable diseases. shorturl.at/JiK2j

I’m thrilled to see my artwork on the #cover of #MolecularCell!
A study by @imilenkovic.bsky.social et al used epitranscriptomic rRNA fingerprinting to identify tissue-of-origin and tumor-specific signatures. @NovoaLab @crg.eu
