Researchers from the National University of Singapore recently discussed how they identified a new developmental mechanism that contributes to the absence of the nose using stem cell models. Listen to the latest episode of The Stem Cell Report podcast to learn more: https://ow.ly/X7gg50ZfXIw

Excited to share our new manuscript! Why do people with Bosma #arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (BAMS) not form noses? We show that #iPSCs from these patients are less able to form cranial placode cells, one of the cell types that make up the nose. www.cell.com/stem-cell-re...

Very sad news. Gail Martin (1944-2026) was a figure in developmental biology. She pioneered the field of ES cells. A great colleague, a friend and a lovely person.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The #SCZI2026 Oral Abstract and Workshop proposal deadline has been extended! They are now due September 24th at 11:59pm EDT. Register and Submit here: www.izfs.org/education/11...

We look forward to hosting you in Singapore 🇸🇬 Beyond the science, there will be great food, opportunities for sightseeing, and a unique banquet experience! ❤️🐟 Feel free to approach us for more details! @oehlerslab.org @shifengxue.bsky.social Ajay Mathuru Sudipto Roy Yan Chuan etc

Thank you lab for the #TeachersDay card! I'm super impressed with the drawing. There's a fish in the flask! What is this experiment?! I hope all of you learn lots of things in your time here and may all your experiments work 😊

The 11th Strategic Conference of #Zebrafish Investigators (SCZI) organized by @izfs.bsky.social will be held in Singapore, January 14-17 2026. This meeting is held for the first time in Asia-Pacific. Fish PIs, escape your winters and come hang out with us in the tropics!

Most drug discovery efforts for #FSHD target #DUX4 RNA or protein. We reviewed its upstream regulation. Epigenetic regulation of DUX4: From embryogenesis to muscular degeneration. sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Interesting talk from @miskalab.bsky.social . Why do some animals (and plants) receive RNA from the environment? Why don't humans have the ability? Would make #RNA delivery a lot easier if we can just eat it and it gets into our cells.

Congratulations to IMCB on its 40th anniversary! To more discoveries, innovations, talents and impact in the next 40 years. #astar

Occasionally I go stare in awe at our rich tropical #biodiversity. Here are some animals we found today in the intertidal zone. Sand dollar, many hermit crabs, anemone, starfish (photo by Ajay), jellyfish (not pictured).

Today is Rare Disease Day and it’s a day to raise awareness for the 300 Million people in the world with over 6000 rare diseases. If you or a loved one have a rare disease write it in the comments and make it seen. #RareDisease #RareDiseaseDay

Happy Chinese New Year! Lo-hei with the lab. It's a tradition to mix this salad together as a group. Brings good luck for the year! Also, my first post on bluesky. I heard this is where the cool scientists hang out now. #CNY
