"In selecting control parameters to engineer multicellular systems in vitro, it makes sense to take inspiration from comparative developmental biology to define which elements of development evolution has selected upon to generate diversity in form".

Yep…. @bensteventon.bsky.social

Don’t delay, and get going fast with the Developmental Biology started starter pack from @aineurolab.bsky.social

Interested in how we are able to observe chick embryo development? 🐣

Our video here demonstrates the technique ‘windowing’ which we showed at this year’s Big Biology Day 🧬 🧪

Now that we have polished it a bit, we are excited to share our new preprint with you "Local optogenetic NMYII activation within the zebrafish neural rod results in long range, asymmetric force propagation" https://t.co/sZR4vJnnDc

@BernaSozen_ @Nature Congrats to you and your team on this sweet story!

[Katherine Brown @katemmabrown1]

This was such a great project to get involved in and I’m super-proud of the result! Please do check out this documentary on the wonder and value of #devbio, brought to you by @_BSDB_, @Dev_journal and @CamFilmWorks

[The Company of Biologists @Co_Biologists]

@maitrejl Many thanks @maitrejl – we really enjoyed working on this project which was a close collaboration between @_BSDB_ , @Dev_journal and @CamFilmWorks

[The Naked Scientists @NakedScientists]

Naked Genetics: Shivani Shukla and @aylwyn_scally on whether personality is in your genes, and what really happened to the population on Rapa Nui. Plus, Camena Bioscience's James Richardson and @illumina's Ilaria Grizzi on synthetic DNA.

Buff-tailed bumblebees favor hibiscus species with bigger bullseye petal patterns, new @ScienceAdvances research finds. https://t.co/CGMbBOKN50

Our lab's first preprint!!! Could not be prouder 😀 fantastic work of master (yes Master!) student Jannik Rothkegel, liaising with our superb team @SylviaK_DD and Michaela Wilsch-Brauninger!

Painting by numbers: Flowers like hibiscus use an invisible blueprint early in petal formation that dictates the size of their bullseyes! Awesome work by Lucie Riglet & @Edwige_M's Team Hibiscus with modelling by @zardilis

📢Exciting news! My PhD work, supervised by @JgrosL, has just been published in @Nature. Thanks to all the co-authors! 📄In this study, we (re)explored a longstanding question in developmental biology: why, when a chick embryo is cut in half during gastrulation, each half can still develop into a fully formed embryo (see📽️ below). Our findings highlight the pivotal role that tissue mechanics plays in driving this remarkable process. Check out the pre-print Xorial and enjoy the read! ⬇️ https://t.co/7dRUIAVmBA

🚨 Job alert in theory/devbio🚨 Funded by an ERC Starting Grant (woohoo!!), we are recruiting theory postdocs and PhD students to study how embryonic patterns self-organize. Please RT 😊 @ERC_Research @TLM_Cambridge @the_Node @SMB_MathBiology @PhysicsofLifeUK @PoLDresden 1/🧵

Have you ever thought "Gosh darn these E8.5 epiblasts are too damn wonky, I simply can't analyse the patterning of genes in 3D"?
Good news! In this pre-print we developed a pipeline to do this very thing. We also uncover how Notch local signalling promotes spotty patterns in NMPs

[Ben Steventon @BenSteventon2]

@BertaVerd @ERC_Research Haha, well, you did also do zebrafish work and modelling!

Plus, who would want to stop you start such an awesome research programme on Cichlids?
