New https://t.co/dctBqTWJjc chapter! With Nuria @flames66140 and @rich_j_p we wrote Neurogenesis in C. elegans, now in Genetics: https://t.co/w7CMk5rLL8
We discuss neuron development specifically, but do have a look if you think about acquisition of cell identity more generally

[The Boulin Lab @Boulin_Lab]

Our study revealing the remarkably complex organisation of the worm's sarcolemma is now online! Almost six years of hard work for our magnum opus revealing this entirely unsuspected new case of planar cell polarity in C. elegans muscles.

We’ve combined our two recent preprints on the killifish retina (https://t.co/ZYpOjtuZ6O) and IBEX (https://t.co/tw5VBUnKzN). We’re now studying retinal development and degeneration in killifish using this technique. Shown here is the peripheral retina with 9 antibodies.

[Development @Dev_journal]

To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author Thomas Mullan and corresponding author Richard Poole @ucl @uclbiosciences @uclcdb:
