Congrats to Nadja and the @tessmarraiblelabs.bsky.social. Check out their cool new work (featuring a small sketch I made)!

Thank you, Uli!

Chordin-mediated BMP shuttling patterns the secondary body axis in a cnidarian Chordin-mediated BMP shuttling is the candidate mechanism for generating bilateral symmetry in the cnidarian-bilaterian ancestor.

David’s @davidmoersdorf.bsky.social cool paper about the role of Chordin in BMP signaling in the sea anemone Nematostella is finally out www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The anti-neural role of BMP signaling is a side effect of its global function in dorsoventral patterning In Bilateria with centralized nervous systems (e.g. in vertebrates or arthropods), the minimum of the BMP signaling activity gradient defines the position of the central nervous system. BMP-dependent ...

The last part of @paulknabl.bsky.social 's PhD is now available at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Paul showed that BMP signaling is active in the diffuse nervous system of the sea anemone Nematostella and the box jellyfish Tripedalia. Moreover, suppression of BMP signaling in Nematostella leads...

Thank you! :)

A whole-body atlas of BMP signaling activity in an adult sea anemone - BMC Biology Background BMP signaling is responsible for the second body axis patterning in Bilateria and in the bilaterally symmetric members of the bilaterian sister clade Cnidaria—corals and sea anemones. Howev...

Our atlas of BMP signaling activity in adult Nematostella is finally out! Fantastic, meticulous work and beautiful illustrations by @paulknabl.bsky.social
Thanks, @fwf-at.bsky.social for funding our work!

Big parts of my PhD work is now out on bioRxiv!!
We look at how biophysical parameters shape the fractal lung during development and disease.

I recently got to illustrate the graphical abstract for this beautiful work on stem cells and regeneration in the #bristleworm by @alexwstockinger @leonieadelmann @tessmarraiblelabs.bsky.social
Check it out!
