Happening today at 12pm EST - join us for an exciting Zone 3 (Americas) webinar focused on Hydroid regeneration! More information and zoom links can be found at: isrbio.org/webinars

We know many fish and amphibians can regenerate the heart. How about reptiles? A landmark paper from @vickaryouslab.bsky.social to fill this gap. Glad to be a part of this study. @isrbio.bsky.social @evodevopanam.bsky.social @socdevbio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Would you like to learn about ✨ #Nudibranch 🐌 🌊 regeneration✨ and the evolution of ✨ ✨ #musculoskeletal 🍖 development in avian models 🐣 ✨ ✨ ? Join us this next Monday 1pm ET for our first @evodevopanam.bsky.social #EvoDevoMondays! It’s open to all registrants 🩷. Link 🔗 👇

🚨New paper alert!

Our manuscript summarizing the highlights of our recent #PASEDB2025 was published in @jezb1904.bsky.social

⭐️EvoDevo Mondays⭐️

This session will be chaired by the one and only Natalia Pabon Mora from the Universidad de Antioquía, Colombia. And as speakers, @luiza-o-saad.bsky.social and Joao Botelho (both originally from 🇧🇷)

Stay tuned for the link!

Exciting collaboration with my favorite scientist @patyschneider22.bsky.social

Check out this amazing transgenesis: tetraodon dorsal retina enhancer lights up eGFP in zebrafish and mice retinas!

Kudos to @josanesousa.bsky.social @gabrielalima19.bsky.social @perezlouise.bsky.social and the rest of the team!

Preprint out!
Salamanders harbor a hypersensitive mTOR, thought to enable their remarkable limb regeneration. But do you need a special mTOR to regrow appendages?
In Polypterus, we find that a canonical mTOR pathway supports full appendage regeneration.

Late Cretaceous bichirs from Madagascar provide the first documentation of Polypteriformes (Actinopterygii, Cladistia) in Eastern Gondwana Fossil polypterid elements have been recovered from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Maevarano Formation of Madagascar. These elements document th…

Polypterids (bichirs + ropefish) are the sister lineage of all other living ray-finned fishes. Restricted to Africa today, fragmentary fossils show they inhabited South America until at least the Paleocene. Now Late Cretaceous finds add Madagascar to the list: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I'm thrilled to be co-teaching this wonderful course again this fall. Come join us at the MBL for a transformative experience!

Regeneration of fins and limbs relies on a shared cellular playbook The findings strengthen the case that regeneration is an old trait, offering insights into how complex tissues rebuild themselves.

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Fantastic news for the US scientific community! Congrats Neil!

Previously we had shown that axolotl tail regeneration occurs in the absence of somitogenesis. In the updated manuscript we propose that vertebral segmentation during tail regeneration occurs through a process of buckling instability. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hidden struggles: Cambridge scientists share the truth behind their success In a career defined by constant questioning, self-doubt can become an occupational hazard. Now, for the first time, a group of Cambridge scientists reveal the personal struggles they’ve faced – and co...

Science is a tough career. We are so over-trained in scepticism we end up constantly doubting ourselves. The worst part can be thinking you are alone in your self-doubt. By sharing our common experiences, we hope our new book helps those going through a career crisis:

Thank you

Thanks Laura ☺️

And it's out indeed! Huge congrats to @josanesousa.bsky.social, @gabrielalima19.bsky.social, @perezlouise.bsky.social & Hannah Schof! A true tour-de-force that highlights how emerging model systems can shed new light on long-standing macro-evolutionary questions. Go #axolotl, #polypterus #zebrafish!
