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 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

New tool from the lab...check out Novabrowse: An interactive and customizable tool for interpreting BLAST results in genomic context! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Does your favorite gene seems to be missing from your species of interest? Are you sure? 🧵👇 1/n

Big news from @evodevopanam.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!

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. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Community✨ It’s time for nominations in the #PASEDB Elections will be held on June 1, 2026 To nominate colleagues, or yourself, please email @ischneider.bsky.social at [email protected] and include: - History with #PASEDB - Contributions to #EvoDevo - Why is running/nominated

Long live Evo-Devo and PASEDB! great to see this meeting report out!

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...

New paper! How weird could Permian animals get? Turns out, pretty weird. Meet the stem tetrapod Tanyka amnicola from the Pedra de Fogo Formation of northeast Brazil royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

🐟👀 SFSU Biology seminar — Thu Mar 5 2–3pm | SEC 116 Dr. Patricia Schneider (LSU): “Split Screens: Exploring Vision through the Eyes of the Four-Eyed Fish.” Student time: 3–3:30pm. Come by!

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

She holds y’all in high esteem — she even missed Mardi Gras to be there

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

⚡👩‍🔬Electrical signals are key for promoting organ regenerative growth, a new study! Out now in Science Advances, from the Mateus group @ritamateus.bsky.social at PoL and @mpi-cbg.de along with the lab of Frank Jülicher @mpipks.bsky.social Read the news here: tud.link/7jzptz Video:©️ Mateus group

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...

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: www.cam.ac.uk/stories/camb...

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!

Investigate regeneration and repair using whole animals or organ/tissue systems at EMBO Workshop "The molecular and cellular basis of #regeneration and #TissueRepair" in #Krems, AT, 21–25 Sep 2026. Deadline: 20 May https://meetings.embo.org/event/26-tissue-repair#regeneration#TissueRepair#Krems#EMBORegeneration #EMBOevents 🧪

Cool work Christine!

You can now search the entire EvoDevo Papers database (~1.8k posts). Check it out on the website evodevo.brunovellutini.com or read more here: brunovellutini.com/posts/evodev... #EvoDevo #DevBio #EvoBio

Congrats Jessica and coauthors!

It’s finally out!! Congrats @vivijou.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

1/ Can #Axolotls teach us new things about #HeartRegeneration? A great collaboration between Elly Tanaka and Miguel Torres labs. We’re happy to share our new work in which we ask how axolotls regenerate their hearts and could they help mammals with that? doi.org/10.64898/202...

14 two-year postdocs for academics of any nationality who cannot continue their research due to US politics. Do share if you know of such.

A bit late but a paper from our lab has been published! Human fingertip regeneration is a fact, it happens in children and adults (not only in children as it has been long believed). We describe here the regenerative phases and analyse the proteome of wound exudates. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The new Enabling Discovery through GEnomics (EDGE) Program page is posted. Please contact us at [email protected] if you have questions. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

New paper from our lab and @friedrich-group.bsky.social !! Insights into morphogen gradient scaling to regenerate a limb at the appropriate size. #axolotl, #limbregeneration

🎉 Our deconstructed, stem-cell–based approach to studying signaling centers and limb-development cell types is out! 🥳 So nice to see it in its final form after the preprint— and huge thanks to the community for all the enthusiasm and interest since then! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our paper on the role of neurons in Nematostella head regeneration is now out at @currentbiology.bsky.social Big thank you to all collaborators, it was a pleasure! Ectopic head regeneration after nervous system ablation in a sea anemone: Current Biology www.cell.com/current-biol...

🔬 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 !

Hey Regen folks 👋 Excited to share that our single-nucleus RNA-seq dataset for Polypterus fin regeneration is now live at the Broad Institute portal! Dive in here: tinyurl.com/5bck22jx Big thanks to the team for making this happen—looking forward to seeing what you all discover!
