Zebrafish are members of a rarefied group of vertebrates capable of fully healing a severed spinal cord. A new study from WashU Medicine maps the cells involved — and how they work together — in regenerating the zebrafish spinal cord. https://t.co/PORtUy47hW
Developmental biologist Andy Groves, PhD, has been named head of the Department of Developmental Biology at WashU Medicine. His research on inner ear development is paving the way for better understanding and treatments for hearing loss. https://t.co/zNiy4SPAM6
CellTag-multi is finally out in @NatureBiotech https://t.co/d2row5Ploc. We didn't make the cover this time, but I love what we put together with @DrawImpacts! Here's our fun vision of CellTag cell barcoding and capture across single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq @kjkjindal
Chondrocytes have multiple ion channels for sensing mechanical stimuli - in our latest study, Bob Nims @MaybeItsBob & Daniel Palmer (w/@Bo_Zhang_WashU) used RNA-seq to analyze the complete chondrocyte "mechanome" in response to activation of TRPV4 or Piezo https://t.co/REQPWFIgWc
Research from WashUMedicine in collaboration with @UFexplore reveals how brain inflammation triggers extreme muscle weakness across several diseases, including viral infection, bacterial infection and Alzheimer’s disease.

What a fabulous way to start @WashUDevBio Seminar Series with our creative @Farsh_G and @wustlcrm co-director whose lab shows the ever growing potential of stem cells for advancing human health by redesigning their genetic circuits. Now, that is bioengineering!
Thrilled to share the final publication of CellTag-multi, a strategy in which CellTag lineage barcodes can be captured in both scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq assays allowing for independent tracking of clonal transcriptional and epigenomic state, with

At last! Happy to share our paper on CellOracle – a computational method for dissecting cell identity via network inference and in silico gene perturbation, led by the amazing @kenjikamimoto68: https://t.co/1km6dQIMmY
I'm pleased to announce that our most recent work in the Theunissen laboratory is published today in Cell Stem Cell! We provide a continuous and integrated human blastoid model derived from naive stem cells that captures pre-implantation to early gastrulation development.
NIH zebrafish research included in U.S. Postal Service’s “Life Magnified” stamps | National Institutes of Health (NIH). Got to love a Zebrafish stamp!! https://t.co/YntjKTyGyT
