New preprint from the lab! We dig into the regulatory roles of TEs in the mouse placenta, with some surprising findings. Led by the awesome @smamante.bsky.social. Particular kudos to him for navigating the many twists and turns of the project.
🚨Our story is published! Same bones but + dissection of MERVL’s role integrating signals from #ZGA factors, & + about pathological DUX4 activation of NOXA #TEsky. Thanks to all revs for their helpful comments improving the ms. Even #rev3 - until they ghosted us 😜

Yes true! Or where they part of the problem… 🤣
I’m not sure it’s a good thing 😂 I miss papers with 3 figures and one finding. Poor person who has to present journal club on this paper!
Thank you Rob! 🇬🇧
Thank you Deborah!
Thanks Antoine!
Thanks Abby!
Thank you!
Thank you for your support Lila!
🥰🥰🥰 thank you. Looking forward to more TEtime together ;)
Very excited to be part of this prestigious programme, thank you @embo.org !

We have a new PhD studentship in the lab on the immunogenic roles of transposable elements in paediatric acute myeloid leukaemia! Come and work with us! www.colcc.ac.uk/2026-cyp-phd...
World’s first AI-designed viruses a step towards AI-generated life. #Nature
Scientists used AI to write coherent viral genomes, using them to synthesize bacteriophages capable of killing resistant strains of bacteria.

Come be our head of bioinformatics at @mrc-lms.bsky.social !
Our bioinformatics team are closely involved with lots of interesting science and we love working with them. Topics inc. development, cancer, metabolism, aging, TEs (my favourite of course 😜) #TEsky lms.mrc.ac.uk/work/vacanci...
Great to see this out in final form. Congrats Abby!
it appears your low-hanging-fruit phd project wasn't so risk free after all, mr. bond
Join the #LMS! Our institute is advertising for junior #GroupLeader positions in #Physiology and #Metabolism. Closing date for applications: August 31st!
A new study, published today in Nature, reveals the hidden benefits of weight loss on fat tissue.
A better understanding of how weight loss leads to health improvements at a molecular level could help inform the development of therapies for diseases such as type 2 diabetes in the future.
Poster for Genesis Research Trust / BSDB symposium on metabolism and stem cells
🚨Symposium alert! 🚨 Next edition of our biennial stem cell symposium is 4th Dec 2025 - focus on metabolism and development. Sponsored by @bsdb.bsky.social. Great lineup of speakers, hosted @mrc-lms.bsky.social in London. Registration is open.
