Our excursion into the world of hPSC-derived lateral plate mesoderm progenitors, the result of a great collaboration with the lab of @matt-towers.bsky.social. For more details check the thread of @sudeuyulgan.bsky.social below-Sude has been fantastic in leading and driving this work!

Brilliant work, Sude—fascinating data and an impressive effort driving this project forward. Congrats!

🚨 Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders? In our new paper in @science.org , we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #EvoDevo

With the scientific input and experimental brilliance of the @franzelab.bsky.social this work was made possible. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our bat–mouse limb paper is now on bioRxiv!
🦇https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.07.717074v2 This was a collaborative effort across the @nadavahituv.bsky.social Nicola Illing, Dorit Hockman, Guy Kelman, Tommy Kaplan labs and my lab at @washugenetics.bsky.social

Out now in @cp-iscience.bsky.social: we investigate how the peripheral limb architecture can affect the cellular and transcriptional maturation dynamics of spinal cord neurons #plasticity www.cell.com/iscience/ful... congrats and thanks to all co-authors!!! 👏🥳🙏

PDRA position still open in my lab for anyone who wants to solve some outstanding questions in limb development. We have a variety of models and approaches (everything from stem cells to chicks and catsharks). Please share!

A BBSRC-funded PDRA position is available in my lab investigating vertebrate limb development! Please contact me for more details. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DQH553/r....

It's been quite a year for hypothalamic development. With this heroic analysis of developmental cell lineage, coupled with earlier multimode-based gene regulatory network analysis, the prosomere model looks like it has passed into history. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share a fantastic PhD opportunity combining interdisciplinary approaches with me, @alexgfletcher.bsky.social and @rorylcooper.bsky.social sky.social! Please share!

🚨 PhD Projects 🚨 We are advertising two UKRI funded PhD projects at the @sheffielduni.bsky.social. #stemcells #development #embryology #reproductivephysiology #mathmaticalmodelling #quantitativebiology

I'm a bit late to the party over here. I'll be advertising a BBSRC-funded postdoc position soon. So if anyone wants to solve some outstanding questions in limb development - please get in touch. We have a variety of models and approaches (everything from stem cells to sharks). towerslab.weebly.com
