@profLiangGao 4. Genetic evidence advanced by this imaging method suggests that the muscular infrastructure may support as a scaffold for neuron projection.

7. We learned from these results that the duplication of fbl in planarians is adapted to the requirements of specific cell lineage mRNA translation, which may not be unique in nature.

Excited to see our paper: Fibrillarin homologs regulate translation in divergent cell lineages during planarian homeostasis and regeneration, published in The EMBO Journal https://t.co/HCBEFCq9eV . Thanks for the efforts and help from the editors and the reviewers. Congrats all!

6. Our Ribo-seq data shows that fbl-1 regulates the translation of genes involved in the RNA splicing process of neoblasts and progenitors, and fbl-2 regulates the translation of genes for neurotransmitter
secretion essential for epidermal cell development.

Publishing with @eLife is indeed much more pleasant with the new reviewing process, highly recommended.

We concluded the 2023 North American Planarian meeting yesterday

>100 participants presented and discussed their work during 2.5 days packed with science, discovery & insight

Thank you @SheckyFeinblatt, his lab & the organizing committee for bringing us together!
