Activin/TGF-beta signaling levels coordinate whole-body regeneration with genotoxic stress in Schmidtea mediterranea Highly regenerative animals often have a seemingly limitless capacity for tissue growth and stem cell proliferation, which often requires molecular and organismal capacities associated with pre-malign...

Explosive cytotoxicity of 'ruptoblasts' bridges hormonal surveillance and immune defense Current understanding of cytotoxic immunity is shaped by hematopoietic-derived cells -- T cells, natural killer cells, and neutrophils. Here, we identify 'ruptoblasts', a previously unknown cytotoxic ...

Our lab studies how animals regenerate their body, e.g. how crustaceans regenerate broken legs. One of our aims is to understand if regeneration re-uses the gene networks that built the legs in the first place. Arthur Monternier, an artist in our team, captured the question in this cartoon.

I am very excited to announce the opening of the submission site for the upcoming Conférences Jacques Monod on Developmental Biology, May 18-22, 2026 cjm.sb-roscoff.fr/en/conferenc...
@lionlchristiaen.bsky.social and I have an exciting program of speakers and slots for selected short talks, etc.
