🔬 Limb regeneration depends on regenerative signaling center cells — but how do these cells influence others to proliferate, migrate, or differentiate? We’re recruiting PhD or Postdoc candidates to explore this with our collaborator @osvaldo-chara.bsky.social !

Ready to establish your own research group at the Hubrecht Institute for Molecular and Developmental Biology? We’re seeking a tenure-track group leader to develop an innovative research line within our vibrant scientific community. Learn more & apply! https://f.mtr.cool/jncxfqkuds

Grateful and excited to launch the Otsuki Regeneration Group at the Hubrecht Institute! 🔗 www.hubrecht.eu/research-gro... We study how tissues regenerate - and use those principles to build 3D tissues in vitro. Full announcement: www.linkedin.com/in/leo-otsuk... @hubrechtinstitute.bsky.social

🧬 Looking for a PhD position in molecular or developmental biology? 🔬 ✉️ The Hubrecht Institute now has its very own PhD program! Applications are open and will be accepted until September 15th. Read more here 👉 www.hubrecht.eu/hipp/

I highly recommend signing up for this! I found it so informative and constructive. I owe a lot to Sumru and Mekayla, from answering my super-naive questions to advising on my proposal and setup last year. Thanks so much, you are treasures of the regeneration community!

Precise degradation of Retinoic acid (RA) determines which part of the limb a salamander regenerates. Congratulations to the team, expertly led by Tim Duerr in James Monaghan's group:

Axolotls accurately regenerate their limbs but frequently make mistakes during finger regeneration, which surprises me given their apparently simple structure. This study, led by Jackson Griffiths from James Monaghan's lab, dives deep into this fascinating paradox. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1....

We are really grateful and honored for this comment on our latest preprint! AND we share the spotlight with the Monaghan lab! Thanks @woutermasselink.bsky.social and @dev-journal.bsky.social

We are hiring a new PhD student in #Bioinformatics and Organ #Regeneration using to join our team at the @hubrechtinstitute.bsky.social If you are interested in how the heart regenerates and want to work in a dynamic and experienced team please apply here. www.hubrecht.eu/job/phd-stud...

Delighted that our work on positional memory is now published. We asked how axolotl cells 'know' which part of the limb to regenerate after injury. www.nature.com/articles/s41... A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura, Francisco Falcon and Elly Tanaka. 🧵1/14

Cool work from Raymond and colleagues (McCusker lab) on when, and how, limb cells start to acquire patterning competency during regeneration: www.nature.com/articles/s42.... This nicely builds on prior work from the Satoh lab and others.

It has been known for a long time that if the starting point of limb regeneration is at the hand level or close to the shoulder, it would take about the same time to regenerate. Puzzling right? Check out this preprint from our lab to know more about it: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A great month for axolotl limb regeneration pre-prints! Two I enjoyed: - Yamomoto et al. (Satoh lab) on coordinating patterning codes in A-P and D-V: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... - Edwards-Jorquera et al. (Sandoval-Guzman lab) on mechanical control along P-D axis: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I am really happy to announce the first Hubrecht Symposium on March 13th 2025! We will organize these yearly events on a specific topic in molecular and developmental biology to emphasize the importance of fundamental research for Dutch science. Free of charge! www.hubrecht.eu/hubrecht-sym...

Generation of a ZRS transgenic reporter and SHH antibody for analysing newt limb regeneration. Very interesting - congratulations to the authors! www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/12...

Your reminder that many of the muscles, nerves and bones you use to hear and talk with correspond to gill structures in fish. 🧪 #evolution #paleontology

go.bsky.app/LjbAncZ Made an axolotl one. Let me know if you'd like to be added, I'm sure there's going to be more of us on here!

✨New✨ Brand lab preprint - Quiescent neural stem cells adopt a transient 'stem cell-neuron' identity to coordinate their reactivation across the CNS. We've been discussing the neuron-like traits of quiescent NSCs for years, so it's been wonderful to see Laura and Jocelyn uncover these mechanisms! ⚡

Started creating a synthetic biology starter pack. Still missing many so reply here if I forgot you or someone else. go.bsky.app/SjfpxTK #synbio

And hers is DevBio starter pack II: go.bsky.app/2qUqVKE

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/PB6s8PQ

Are you a #postdoc with an innovative vision for starting your own lab in #Syntheticbiology, #Genomics, #GeneRegulation, #Development, #Cancer, #Immunology or #InfectionBiology? @IMPvienna is inviting applications for group leader positions: www.imp.ac.at/career/open-... Pls share!

I made a (very incomplete) list of folks at the Vienna BioCenter (VBC). Please let me know if I should add you, or anybody else.

If you share our enthusiasm for #regeneration, share, follow, and (self-)nominate people to the list. 🧪 go.bsky.app/MGXL9Ra

Very happy to (re)connect with Developmental Biology and Regeneration Biology folks on here. I study principles of limb and spinal cord regeneration in the axolotl and am interested in #devbio #regenbio and #synbio.

@devdynamics.bsky.social Welcome to Bluesky Developmental Dynamics, added to the Developmental Biology starter pack II. You can also patch in to more #DevBio folks by checking out the first Developmental Biology start pack here: go.bsky.app/M5AgJhn
