What cell states are possible when they are missing key factors - Nanog, Pou5f3 (Oct4), & Sox19b (Sox2) - that are required for the first embryonic reprogramming steps? Follow along with our latest publication, finally out at doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... #devbio #reprogramming #zebrafish #embryo (1/6)

Compared to other publishers, The Company of Biologists is small fry with fewer than 70 staff supporting 5 journals from a single office. But, for over 100 years now, it’s punched above its weight in innovation, prestige and community support.

1/9 Thrilled to share that our paper, “Origin of Ewing sarcoma by embryonic reprogramming of neural crest to mesoderm,” is now published in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! @amatrudalab.bsky.social @crumplab.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Wonderful collaboration of Claire Arata and co-first-author Elena Vasileva from Amatruda lab. Claire provided the neural crest driver and Elena the EWS oncofusion. Best combination since PB&J. Amazing that expression of a single oncofusion in crest produces ectopic fins. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

We are looking for a new technician to join our lab and gain some hands on #zebrafish and molecular biology experience. Interested parties should apply here: jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/259... Happy to answer any and all questions about the lab! #STEMJobs

Out @natcomms.nature.com: our work on how the ❤️-supporting pericardium forms & acts in pediatric heart conditions.🎈🫀 Expanding our preprint & with our first HCR (thx to @thelovelylab.bsky.social!). Congrats all! #devbio #zebrafish #CHD @cupediatrics.bsky.social @cudevbio.bsky.social rdcu.be/eIJm5

Nice work from Val Wilson & co on neuromesodermal progenitors SOX2/TBXT co-expressing cells are self-propagating bipotent NMPs Increasing TBXT levels (not SOX2/TBXT ratio) switch NMPs from neural- to mesoderm-biased www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

According to news reports, NIH is on track to award nearly all of its FY25 budget. Program officers—working long hours despite staff losses—made it possible. Take a moment to thank your PO for their dedication.

Thank you @stemcellreports.bsky.social for featuring our work on the Neural Stem Cells Special Issue cover! www.cell.com/stem-cell-re... Kudos to lead author Sriivatsan G. Rajan for designing the image. Check out the wide array of interesting papers in this packed issue: www.cell.com/stem-cell-re...

Our next #DevPres webinar focusses on gut development with talks from Surojit Sural @surojitsural.bsky.social, Swarnabh Bhattacharya @iamzico.bsky.social and Brittany Edens, chaired by Alex Eve @amjeve.bsky.social. 📆 17 September, 15:00 BST (UTC+1) Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Excited to announce that our new paper is now published in Science Advances 🚀🧠 ‘Acquisition of neural crest promoted thyroid evolution from chordate endostyle’ — check it out here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Over 20 years after Julius’s lab and mine cloned TRPM8, it is rewarding to see this science helping patients. The TRPM8 agonist Tryptyr treats dry eye by increasing tear production. A reminder that NIH-funded curiosity-driven research translates to medicines. tryptyr.myalcon.com?gad_source=1...

It’s been 25 years since the UCSC Genome Browser launched. Nature profiles how the website remains an essential tool for navigating the genome and understanding its structure, function, and clinical impact. #Academicsky 🧬 🧪

Please RT: Published today, a super fun collaboration w/ @fanjumeng.bsky.social and Marnie Halpern's lab to establish methods for transgene mapping in zebrafish - TransTag enables simple and efficient transgene mapping in zebrafish via tagmentation: Cell Reports Methods www.cell.com/cell-reports...

New study online today! We present a method to identify insertion sites of Tol2 transgenes in zebrafish #zebrafish #Tol2 #Transgene www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Our paper describing the Range Extender element which is required and sufficient for long-range enhancer activation at the Shh locus is now available at @nature.com. Congrats to @gracebower.bsky.social who led the study. Below is a brief summary of the main findings www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

🧬 New preprint! We’ve identified core microRNAs that orchestrate neural crest delamination and condensation in chick embryos, key for trigeminal ganglion formation. ✨ Introducing cranial MET-miRNAs into trunk neural crest cells reprograms them to gain cranial-like differentiation potential

New research from Caltech and UC Berkeley has identified the circuit of genes controlling Zebrafish’s ability to regrow and repair their hearts after damage. www.caltech.edu/about/news/g...

Website is now open for registration and abstract submission! See you in beautiful SLO! 😎🏖️ www.sdbonline.org/wcsdb2025

Delighted to share our latest work on the anterior lateral line. Congratulations to our fabulous team! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

“These findings support the use of zebrafish as a useful comparative model for studying the meninges, provide a foundational description for future zebrafish meningeal research” New work from @biomarina-vg.bsky.social & Weinstein Lab at NIH 🐟
