Two years ago, we reported for the first time on #cardioids. Now, our team, led by two fantastic Ph.D. students, Alison and Clara, developed multi-chamber cardioids representing all the major regions of the human embryonic heart (atria, LV, RV, OFT, AVC) https://t.co/fJqE5ErYXU
Force regulation of myogenesis by Tono, a BTB-Zn finger transcriptional regulator, which forms droplets after acute high pressure application. It responds in 1 minute :) - in yellow in the nuclei https://t.co/cdbNQwPj3j
Congrats to Xu Zhang and @JrmAvellaneda#Drosophila#muscle
Beyond thrilled to present our first (!) work @TheCrick! A tour de force by @tobyandrews et al combining imaging, solid morphometrics, theory, perturbations to show how a developing heart grows and scales up its morphological complexity to keep beating...

'The Mechanics of building functional organs - our take on this fundamental problem. We discuss general design rules building complex 3D geometries, advocate for a holistic understanding of morphogenesis by embracing the complexity of embryonic development.https://t.co/hZyvqxuWgT
Congratulations to Clara Schmidt, @MendjanLab, who successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “Multi-Chamber Cardioids Unravel Human Heart Development and Cardiac Defects!”
Meet EcoBot the professional weeder.

Elly Tanaka will be IMBA’s new Scientific Director, heading the institute from April 2024 onwards. Elly Tanaka is a renowned researcher, who studies the regeneration of complex body parts. Welcome, Elly!
New manuscript alert! Writing in @Nature, the Burga Lab (@arburga) describe a genomic silencing mechanism which represses a selfish genetic element in the eggs of the nematode C.tropicalis only when it is paternally inherited. Their findings reveal the potential evolutionary origin of genomic imprinting.

What a beautiful sight - children with Microscopes, curiosity in their eyes learning the wonders of Developmental Biology! Terrific outreach event organised by @InSDB_79 and fantastic students at @NCBS_Bangalore. Great start to InSDB 2024!
Our new data-driven mathematical model of sarcomere assembly is now out. All the math was done by our fantastic collaborators in Dresden @friedrich_group@PoLDresden@IBDMmarseille @ClaraMSidor @BDehapiot https://t.co/gaaP6lmqTp
What graduate degree should you go for? The MBA, the MD, the JD, or the PhD? The PhD is unique - it has to be said - for teaching both critical reasoning and the creative process of discovery; skills that prepare you for anything you’d then want to do.
One decade after starting this journey, our collaborative paper with @Gibson_lab is finally out: https://t.co/0o4xuMSEZF.
It reports chromosome assemblies of the related sea anemones @Nematostella and Scolanthus callimorphus. Will be an important resource for the community.
Is there a better way to make PGCs in culture than with disorganised EBs and signalling cocktails? In our latest pub @Dev_journal we show that mouse 'gastruloids' make beautiful PGCs... 😍 [as also seen by others] (1/6) https://t.co/5ysnCYWC8F
Why do we get certain diseases whereas others do not exist?
This new book builds a foundation for systems medicine. Starting from basic laws, it derives why hormone, immune and aging circuits are built the way the are, culminating in a periodic table of diseases.
Great study in @CellCellPress from our virologist colleagues @puchhammer et al & neurologists of the @MedUni_Wien. Bravo!! 👏
