@willmacnair.bsky.social looks very impressed by the hat! Congratulations again, Nadine! :)

Brilliant! Congratulations Can and team! Making the most of the power of cross-species comparisons! :)

🚨 Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders?
In our new paper in @science.org , we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸

Proud to share this work with @kevinchalut.bsky.social and Byron Mui. Why do some injuries scar while others regenerate? Using digit tip models, we show the ECM is a key driver. HA-rich ECM promotes regeneration, and boosting it can shift healing away from fibrosis. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Does your favorite gene seems to be missing from your species of interest?

Are you sure?

These things also call fish to my axolotls!

There's no stopping you and Rita! Congratulations to the whole team! :)

When you share an office with the queen of the #axolotls (aidarodrigo.bsky.social) you also get to share the birthday joy! 🥳 Happy 2nd birthday to the OG axolotls (treats baked by Laura Arbanas and @cellysally.bsky.social’s daughter)

Stunning!

Myelin sheaths in the central nervous system can withstand damage and dynamically remodel Myelin damage is a hallmark of several neurological disorders, but how it occurs remains to be fully understood. In this study, we found that early damage in zebrafish and rodent demyelination models ...

Just over a week to our FIRST event for 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣- 13/01/2026 15:00-17:30 GMT. What better way to fire up those neural circuits than dipping into the latest breaking #Cilia and #Centrosome science 🧪? Free and open to everyone- /1

Keeping up with the neighbours: local synchronisation of cell fate decisions during development - EMBO Reports Even before the advent of multicellular life, unicellular creatures would communicate with their neighbours to coordinate their behaviours. Multicellular organisms have the particular challenge of orc...

Hello, here is a review I wrote about how cells sometimes try to synchronise with surrounding cells so that they can do a good job of building tissues during development. It is called "Keeping up with the neighbours"

Induction of menstruation in mice reveals the regulation of menstrual shedding During menstruation, an inner layer of the endometrium is selectively shed, while an outer, progenitor-containing layer is preserved to support repeated regeneration. Progress in understanding this co...

I’m thrilled to share my postdoc work and the first paper from the McKinley Lab! 🎉
@karalmckinley.bsky.social
We built the first transgenic model of menstruation in mice.
We used it to uncover how the endometrium organizes and sheds during menstruation. 🧪

Cell-type-specific functionality encoded within the intrinsically disordered regions of OCT4 - Nature Communications Here they perform a systematic dissection of OCT4 and reveal how intrinsically disordered regions can be used to serve specific functions during reprogramming and embryonic development. This can be exploited to engineer more efficient and specific reprogramming factors.

Hot off the press!

Stunning! Congrats, James and team!

🚨 Excited to introduce FuChi (Fucci chicken), the first avian cell cycle reporter line. Thank you to all those who contributed to putting this paper together. I really think it showcases the power and beauty of the chick embryo as a developmental biology model. 🐥 🥚 🔬 @roslininstitute.bsky.social
