Lovely work. Congrats to all the authors!

This is really beautiful work by PhD student Alexandre Porcher Fernandes (@alefern.bsky.social) on the evolution of reproductive strategies. I'm really keen to see where we can take this framework next!

Description of the type specimen of Cheirodopsis geikiei, a Carboniferous ray-finned fish, calling it "Imperfect fish, wanting paired and caudal fins"

Calling myself an imperfect fish from now on....

Happy to share this work from Carlos Camacho de la Maccora that reveals how rates of posterior progenitor addition and anterior vacuolation are balanced across the notochord. With Alberto Ceccarelli and @osvaldo-chara.bsky.social we present a model of long-range communication to provide robustness.

You lot are the best!!! ❤️

Modelling co-development between the somites and neural tube in human trunk-like structures - Nature Cell Biology Makwana, Tilley et al. generate human stem cell-based trunk-like structures approximating Carnegie stage 13–14 of development. They use them to model and study the development of the thoracic and lumbar trunk.

Lovely little pre-Christmas present to see this out @natcellbio.nature.com! Some 🔥 new results in here since the biorvix incl (1) a new RARE-GFP reporter ✳️🙌, (2) additional NMP quantification 🔢, (3) no neural tube patterning on RA inhibition 🙅 etc. Enjoy! 😍 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
