Are you working with OME-Zarrs in Switzerland?
We're running a series of community events in the context of the BioFAIR project of the BioVisionCenter: Monthly Open Bioimaging Practices Meetups with presentations by us & community members. Starting off with 3 cool events this fall (see image) (1/6)

🚨We're hiring! Join a global team at the @priscaliberali.bsky.social lab & the @alleninstitute.org to build cutting-edge image analysis workflows for complex biological datasets, including light-sheet microscopy images. Apply at: www.fmi.ch/education-ca...

Interested in organoid & stem cell research?! The Liberali Lab (FMI, Basel/ BSSE, ETH) & Allen Institute (Seattle) seek a Research Associate with iPSC/organoid expertise for a unique collaboration. Advance tissue morphogenesis with cutting-edge imaging & genome engineering. Apply Now!

If you look for an easy way to plot OME-zarr images in your scripts, I hope the ez-zarr python package will be useful:

US brain drain: Nature’s guide to the initiatives drawing scientists abroad In response to US turmoil, premier establishments such as the European Research Council have sweetened incentives to attract talent.

There’s been much talk of the brain drain away from the US in response to the sweeping cuts in funding & research positions. Here’s our summary to the initiatives designed to provide ‘a home’ to those who consider leaving

Extracellular volume expansion drives vertebrate axis elongation Michaut et al. show that presomitic mesoderm explants autonomously elongate by a graded increase of the extracellular volume. Explant elongation mainly depends on cell activity and little on prolifera...

With pleasure we share our preprint reporting robust and cost-effective expansion of naive human Pluripotent Stem Cells without feeder cells. A fantastic collaborative effort with @leeboratory.bsky.social @jzylicz.bsky.social @pasquelab.bsky.social and Nicolas Rivron.

Cell heterogeneity and fate bistability drive tissue patterning during intestinal regeneration Tissue regeneration relies on the ability of cells to undergo de novo patterning. While tissue patterning has been viewed as the transition from initially identical un-patterned cells to an arrangemen...

A perfect start in the new year! 🌱 Regenerating tissues are just an amazing spatio temporal controlled process! Our new manuscript explores how cell heterogeneity and bistability orchestrate intestinal regeneration. 🧵 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Congrats!

Proud to share our paper on the impact of transcription inhibition on mRNA export in cancer.
A big thanks to collaborators, especially to Ewa Michalak, Vi Wickramasinghe, Jeff Chao and Mark Dawson @mafdawson.bsky.social. @fmiscience.bsky.social

Timely TGFβ signalling inhibition induces notochord - Nature Through analysis of developing chick embryos and in vitro differentiation of embryonic stem cells, a study develops a method to generate a model of the human trunk with a notochord.

Our latest: how to generate the notochord
"Timely TGFβ signalling inhibition induces notochord"

A thread:

What if plate tectonics had something to do with development? We found a new framework for dynamic origami in tissue folding in a nerveless animal. Will share thread; but if you are at #cellbio2024, see @cbrannon.bsky.social poster B399 today.

Not at ASCB; read www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Apply! FMI is an amazing place with unique opportunities!

If you are attending #CellBio2024 and are interested in understanding how the process of crypt morphogenesis is coordinated both in vivo and in organoids then come to my talk Wed Dec 18th in the subgroup “Organoids as tools to study the function of tissue in Health and Disease”
