Our new NAFA protocol robustly preserves delicate wounded tissues while facilitating probe/antibody penetration into internal tissues

The fixation protocol is compatible for WISH on regenerating teleost fins, highlighting its versatility

The @MBLScience Embryology Course is underway! 🔬🌊 Institute researchers from the @Planarial Lab, @Vidyanandsasi and @DungVuu are teaching assistants at #Embryo24. There is no better place to spend the summer than our satellite lab in #WoodsHole. #marinebiology

We just posted a new version of our planarian spatial transcriptomics story! Lots of new analysis & RNAi functional testing. Check it out!

Many many congratulations Dr @VirajDoddihal.. your beginners luck for that use of sword epic cOool 😍🤩 happy happy times Dr. Enjoys enjoys the glory of all ur hard work 🍾🥂😃🤩

Excited to announce the planarian transgenic workshop at Stowers, Nov. 7-10, organized by @Planaria1 and us, fully funded by NSF EDGE. Come to transfect worms and build your own luminescence microscope to monitor gene expression. Register at https://t.co/1ZQ2w3b57M. Please RT.

How does a small fragment of planarian regenerate an appropriately proportioned complete animal?

As part of my PhD project I attempted to address this question with @Planaria1 @fg_mann , Eric Ross, & Sean McKinney @ScienceStowers @HHMINEWS

[Enya Dewars 🇵🇭🇯🇲 @DewarsEnya]

What a year it has been @ScienceStowers !! This year as a post baccalaureate research scholar @GSSIMR has been nothing but amazing to me. I’ve learned SO much and I can only thank the @Planaria1 lab, @fg_mann for being the greatest mentor I could ever ask for.. 1/2

[A. Sánchez Alvarado @Planaria1]

Today we celebrate Enya @DewarsEnya who a year ago joined our institute @ScienceStowers & our lab as a postbaccalaureate

Enya will pursue her PhD @DukeU this fall

While we will miss her, we wish her a world of new knowledge & discovery will always come to greet her

Go science!

[Erin L Davies Ph.D. @eldavies03]

Dr. Biff Mann (@fg_mann) from @Planaria1 lab will discuss a genome-wide Smed RNAi library, and Pallob Barai from @BethMDuncan lab will speak about an RNase H-based ribodepletion strategy for transcriptomic profiling.
We look forward to seeing you there!

@BlairBenhamPyle @DewarsEnya @S_Nowotarski @cindy_maddera @BrianSlaughter4 @Planaria1 Two more important contributions to recognize for our Slide-seq preprint: the expertise of Seth Malloy @burntmyfingys11 and Kate Hall, who were essential parts of getting this project done! We are very lucky to have been able to collaborate with them @ScienceStowers .

[Frederick Mann, PhD @fg_mann]

Check out our new preprints: we did Spatial Transcriptomics on regenerating planarians!

[Frederick Mann, PhD @fg_mann]

@BlairBenhamPyle and I co-led this work with a lot of help from Carolyn Brewster, @DewarsEnya, @S_Nowotarski, Carlos Guerrero-Hernandez, @cindy_maddera, Shiyuan Chen, Jason Morrison, @BrianSlaughter4, Anoja Perera, and @planaria1.

[Blair Benham-Pyle, PhD (she/her) @BlairBenhamPyle]

All of us will be presenting this work at this Friday’s #FlatwormFriday! So tune in!

[Frederick Mann, PhD @fg_mann]

Relatedly, our Slide-seq work was only possible because the incredible Carolyn Brewster created Syrah, a computational pipeline augmentation for Slide-seqV2. @BlairBenhamPyle, @planaria1, and I have been so lucky to be a part of this.

[Vidyanand Sasidharan @Vidyanandsasi]

It was a great experience writing a chapter on diverse types of #regeneration with @Planaria1 @ScienceStowers . Can’t wait to get my hands on this book to read all the other exciting chapters.Thanks for the opportunity @CSHLPress @Ken_Poss_Lab @FoxLabDuke. Loved the cover page!

[Stowers Institute @ScienceStowers]

Congratulations to @planaria1 for his election to #AAASFellow by @AAAS. Fellows are selected for their achievements & extraordinary efforts on behalf of the advancement of science.

Have a look at our new paper, which reports unexpected roles for Hox genes in adult planarians! This beautiful surprising project was led by @cparnoldphd and we are all so happy to share it.

[Christopher Arnold @cparnoldphd]

From the laboratory of @Planaria1 @ScienceStowers, our paper identifying unsuspected roles for Hox genes in adult tissues is now out in @NatureComms. Here is a summary thread of the story. @HHMINEWS @NIGMS. #hoxgenes #invertebrates

Sharing the latest preprint from @Planaria1 lab describing a protocol for WISH and immunostaining while preserving delicate tissues. Carlos is the superstar behind this protocol and was such a fun collaboration with @fg_mann
