Waves of regulation control an important developmental gene In a new study published in Genes & Development, research led by Dr Lila Allou at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and Professor Stefan Mundlos at the Max Planck Institute for Mo...

A new study shows how different regulatory genetic elements control when a key developmental gene is active in the body.

The findings could explain subtle differences seen in patients with congenital limb malformations, for which the underlying disease mechanisms often remain unknown.

🚨 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 🐭🐸

La Caixa Foundation Award Ceremony 2026 - Barcelona

Honored to receive a La Caixa Junior Leader Fellowship @caixaresearch.bsky.social at @crg.eu. This recognition will support our research on oocyte dormancy and proteostasis for the next three years🥚! Big thanks to previous funders @embo.org & MSCA @ec.europa.eu and to @bokelab.bsky.social @prbb.org!

Exon inclusion signatures enable accurate estimation of splicing factor activity - Nature Communications Splicing factors shape how genes are stitched into RNA, but their activity is hard to measure. Here, the authors benchmark network methods and show exon-inclusion signatures infer splicing factor acti...

Many regulatory layers modulate splicing factors at the same time impacting their activity.

How can we quantify it? Apparently "functional" target exons give us a hint and uncover two cancer programs.

Have a look at our solution: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Amazing Joshi, very elegant!Congratulations! Good luck for the Frenster Lab starting :)

Mosaic gastruloids reveal a temporal restriction for developmental cell competition - Nature Cell Biology Frenster et al. utilize mosaic mouse gastruloids as a model of cell fitness and competition, identifying a temporal window between primed pluripotency and early gastrulation during which cell competit...

🥳 I am happy to share our latest manuscript published in @natcellbio.nature.com We use #Gastruloids to study #CellCompetition during early mammalian development and find not only that this is highly pronounced in our system but also tightly restricted in time. (1/12) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🎉 Very happy, stoked & honored to have been awarded an @hfspo.bsky.social Research Program Grant for a dream project conceived w/ Eric Glowacki @ceitec.eu & @bernasozen.bsky.social 🥳

Thanks @hfspo.bsky.social for funding bold ideas & projects that aim to push across boundaries 🙏

🚨JOB ALERT🚨PLEASE SPREAD and RT

Searching for a motivated Master’s student @bokelab.bsky.social @crg.eu @prbb.org to investigate how proteostasis in oocytes influences dormancy and fertility.

Reach out to me (adriano.bolondi@crg.es) to join us in sunny Barcelona!

See details below👇

Tomorrow will be the last day to apply! Send your applications to join us!

With the human embryo model field rapidly expanding, it would be good if those venturing into it properly acknowledge the history of the field and give credit where credit's due. I doubt hTLS would be there w/o mouse gastruloids @amartinezarias.bsky.social @susannevandenbrink.bsky.social & TLS.

This is now the 2nd human trunk-like-structure (TLS) paper in a row that fails to cite our work @adrianobolondi.bsky.social, which demonstrated the first TLS (mouse). Especially striking since the preprint studies (a.o.) the TBX6-KO phenotype, which we used as a proof-of-concept in mouse TLS (1/2)

Happy 🥲

We're now looking for a postdoc and a technician to work on this super exciting 5 years project on mRNA mtabolism and poly(A) tail length control.
