Very excited to see our new paper finally out! https://t.co/feh6V3hfN4

Scientists are looking at the signalling pathways involved in body axis formation in a sea anemone in the search for clues about its evolution. https://t.co/T0hT3LA0TE

The worm Xenoturbella bocki has unusual evolutionary history that has long intrigued zoologists. Despites its simple body, DNA sequencing reveals a complex genome similar to other animals like us, causing scientists to rethink our evolutionary tree. https://t.co/OifvmBkWP7

Very happy to share the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab! https://t.co/0gmwblw1Wb. We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)

What if you could deliver molecular tools directly into oocytes without microinjection? In our new paper, online today @Dev_journal (https://t.co/ryxCG1MVKy), we introduce VitelloTag, a new cargo delivery tool to enable injection-free genome editing. 👇Read on for a short 🧵

Our short report on a remarkable feature of #ctenophores out now: Reverse development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis. We show that Mnemiopsis is capable of reversal from mature lobate to early cydippid🤩. @MSarsCentre @UiB @biorxivpreprint #rejuvenation

Happy to share our new preprint with @DavidMoersdorf and @genikhovich on #BMP signaling in Cnidaria. Check it out!

[Genikhovich Group @genikhovich]

BMP signaling patterns second body axis in Bilateria and in anthozoan Cnidaria such as the sea anemone Nematostella, however, radially symmetric medusozoan cnidarians (jellyfish, hydroids) did not lose BMP signaling components despite lacking a second body axis.

@toykanozdogan @peregx9 @ezgimou @ArjendeGroot3 @limes_c Great, congratulations! 👏

[David Mörsdorf @DavidMoersdorf]

My recent work with @genikhovich is now online as #preprint! I examined the mechanisms behind #BMP signaling in the secondary body axis patterning of the anthozoan cnidarian Nematostella (sea anemone).

Below a short teaser.

[Uri Frank @thecocodium]

Germ cells in #Hydractinia emit a BMP signal that patterns the gonad. The resulting developed gonad induces new germ cells that, in turn, maintain the gonad. New work by https://t.co/N1xF6RV8Ko @CurantzC, @HHorkan, @TimDuBuc et al. https://t.co/u4YZs4lXLJ
