🏅 Fifth Place – DevBio Art Contest 🎨 “The Leech Family” 🪱 Helobdella austinensis, a quirky segmented worm that’s taught us decades of developmental biology! 🧬 This clay piece by @biyolokum captures their quirky life as hermaphroditic parents carrying babies on their belly
New preprint from the lab!
How do tissue shapes influence cell fate decisions?
By manipulating brain organoid geometry, we show that lumen rounding directs apical progenitor division mode and promotes the emergence of basal progenitors.

Ever wondered how metabolism regulates embryonic development? Our recent work demonstrates that metabolism has a signaling module controlling the tempo of embryonic axis segmentation.

With @rinklab we looked into details of the stem cell system of catenulids. Surprisingly, it was very different from the canonical neoblast-based systems of other flatworms. What does it tell about the evolution of stem cells and regeneration? Check here:

New preprint from the lab! We show that epithelial cells lacking ZO-1/ZO-2, the key scaffolding proteins of tight junctions, are eliminated when surrounded by normal cells. (1/n)
