Lovely little pre-Christmas present to see this out
@NatureCellBio ! Some 🔥 new results in here since the biorvix incl (1) a new RARE-GFP reporter ✳️🙌, (2) additional NMP quantification 🔢, (3) no neural tube patterning on RA inhibition 🙅 etc. Enjoy! 😍 https://t.co/CUHOGDv5I4

I just made a contribution to save the Drosophila Genetic Database. From my pocket, as I have no lab funds. It's too important not to act.

Animal studies confirm safety & efficacy of heart patch ❤️‍🩹! Researchers from @yourUMG , @dzhk_germany, the German Primate Center and others successfully tested a stem-cell-derived heart patch on non-human primates 🐒. Innovative treatment for patients with heart failure.

So proud to have contributed to this study! 🔥
This research shows how PSC-derived cardiac patches can improve heart function. Huge thanks to all collaborators for this opportunity!

The future of stem cell-based therapies is bright!

The outer ear is a mammalian innovation but where did it come from? In our study in @Nature, @MathiThiru95 and colleagues find that the outer ear arose from modification of an ancestral gill program first originating in marine invertebrates. https://t.co/i05me2SXI4

Have you ever wondered how your back formed? The human embryo makes a neural tube (future spinal cord) and somites (trunk muscle/bone) from ~d20. They’re formed at the same time and place, so we used human Trunk-like Structures (hTLS) to investigate their ‘co-development’… (1/7)

The field of embryo models is advancing very quickly. @vincentpasque and I have tried our best to present the current status of the field and deconstruct all the complexity in this review. If you want to know more keep reading! https://t.co/ZLvaeS6eM5

Come to the @royalsociety summer science exhibition to learn all about embryo models and human development. Plenty of games, ethics discussions and a beautiful venue!

It’s THIS week!!! Reminder that we’ll be showcasing an exhibit on #embryomodels all week at the Royal Society in London. 🚩

⏰ There are evening events if you want to pop in after work, and the weekend if you want to bring the whole family. And it’s free too! 🙌

New analysis from the @royalsociety shows just how high UK visa costs for researchers are compared to upfront costs for similar visa routes in 13 other countries.

Here, we take a look at how the UK compares to countries in the G7 included in the analysis 🔍⤵️ 1/5

How do enhancers work over distances that sometimes exceed megabases? Excited to share our work led by @gracecbower where we uncover a unique sequence signature globally associated with long-range enhancer-promoter interactions in developing limb buds: https://t.co/n0p7BdxSdq 1/

@HenckJana @malte_spielmann @MundlosLab Congratulations!!!!!!!!🎉🎊

Check out our new publication!!!🔥 work done by the @guenesdoganlab : "Generation of marmoset primordial germ cell (PGC)–like cells under chemically defined conditions".

[LifeScienceAlliance @LSAjournal]

This exciting new paper describes the in vitro generation of primordial germ cell-like cells using fibroblast-derived induced pluripotent stem cells from the common marmoset monkey in defined conditions @guenesdoganlab @uniGoettingen Behrlab @DPZ_eu https://t.co/72Iu8nrPI0

How did we lose our tail? A simple question.. but it wasn't really asked before! We discovered a plausible scenario for the genetic mechanism that led to tail loss. Amazing that such a big change may have been caused by such a small genetic event. https://t.co/0ZR8aH23PJ @BoXia7

[Lessly @Less_Sepulveda]

My latest paper is out! thanks to all the authors and @MRC_LMS for a great effort. We questioned the potency of mouse primordial germ cells (PGCs) and propose that PGCs exhibit a latent pluripotency. Brief summary and pretty videos below. Check it out https://t.co/IVHPN7ag6k

NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.
