Good to see @RSPCA_official recognise publicly that gene editing in farmed animals can offer benefits for health and welfare - in terms of preventing and controlling disease. Signs of a more pragmatic, evidence-based approach, which is very welcome.

On this day in 1936, the last known thylacine—a wolf-like marsupial known as the Tasmanian tiger—died at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania. The animal’s passing marked the extinction of its species, and underscores the current need to protect our planet’s wildlife before it’s too late.

Live imaging of cellular protrusions during spinal neural tube closure in a TgT2[UbC:Lifeact-EGFP] quail embryo at stage HH9–HH10 (E1). Lifeact-EGFP quail presented by @MelanieDWhite et al. offers insights into tissue formation in a higher vertebrate. https://t.co/WHCSzl9rTk

This is a video of cells reaching out to close an embryo's neural tube as the brain and spinal cord begin to form.

#UQ researchers captured this process for the first time in quails to understand more about congenital birth defects.

Thrilled to see our Lifeact-EGFP quail published @JCellBiol after a fantastic and speedy editorial process. This was a great team effort from the whole lab @IMBatUQ but especially @Yanina61831716 with support from @MariseVan2905 & @wang_jianxiong. #Biology

A new transgenic Lifeact-EGFP quail to investigate #actin dynamics during #morphogenesis in a higher vertebrate from Alvarez, @MelanieDWhite et al. @IMBatUQ. Perfect for hi-res imaging of the actin cytoskeleton from subcellular to tissue scale in vivo. https://t.co/LwRZsYQTBM

Check out this thread from my outstanding PhD student @wang_jianxiong @IMBatUQ highlighting some of his favourite research on the mechanics of neural tube development!

Out now in Nature Comms from a fabulous international collaboration across 4 countries with @SMBurgessLab The Vertebrate Genome project, Manfred Schartl, the Anderson lab and ourselves. A quality genome and very low mutation rate for our epaulette shark

Let's take a moment to appreciate this honorable mention from the #NikonSmallWorldInMotion competition, which demonstrates the early nervous system formation in a quail embryo.

@vline_geelong Raise your game @vline_geelong this is the second day in a row that there are incidents on the line.

[Melanie D. White, also @melaniedwhite.bsky.social @MelanieDWhite]

Congratulations to our new (currently still twitterless) PhD student @IMBatUQ Marise van der Spuy for her first author review on Cellular Dynamics of Neural Tube Formation just published! https://t.co/TVPgjK1Rrr

[Olivier Serralbo @QuailFacility]

@MelanieDWhite @Smith_CraigA Looking forward to see some great images on Twitter!! Enjoy your meeting.

@aa_kane Well done!! I knew it would not take you long to find a new job.

[Melanie D. White, also @melaniedwhite.bsky.social @MelanieDWhite]

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Look at that beautiful neural tube closing 😍. Imaged by the very talented @wang_jianxiong. #DevBio is alive and well @IMBatUQ.
