@johanduchene.bsky.social @sholtodavid.bsky.social Spent the last hour looking, found ten more apparently manipulated Western blots in Thermo Fisher's antibody verification data (across eight different catalogued products). Thread below. www.thermofisher.com/antibody/pro...

I received close to 200 applications for positions in my new lab and I absolutely underestimated the time it would take to work through everything while evaluating candidates 🫠... But it's also really fun to read so many promising profiles and personal stories!

🚨Last days to apply!🚨 The Frenster Lab is hiring to study how cell competition is regulated in early embryonic development. We use 3D Gastruloids from multiple species and have exciting crossovers of developmental and cancer biology! Join us at University of Freiburg #cellcompetition #gastruloid

Scientists led by Dr. @joshifrenster.bsky.social at @upf.edu have discovered that cell competition in gastruloids is stage-specific and driven by relative p53 levels during pluripotency exit. 📄 Read more: https://go.nature.com/41YmuXt 🎙️ Listen now: https://bit.ly/425e7JH

We are looking for outstanding scientists to develop ambitious research programs in molecular and cellular biology, with special interest in multidisciplinary projects and computational biology.More info: www.i2bc.paris-saclay.fr #MolecularBiology #CellBiology #ComputationalBiology #TeamLeaders#I2BC

Because #gastruloids allow measurements, they can teach us about quantitative traits. Exploring #CellCompetiion @joshifrenster.bsky.social et al www.nature.com/articles/s41... Biology as a matter of #Genes #Cells and #Numbers but of much that is #NotInTheGenes

🥳 I am happy to share our latest manuscript published in @natcellbio.nature.com We use #Gastruloids to study #CellCompetition during early mammalian development and find not only that this is highly pronounced in our system but also tightly restricted in time. (1/12) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very happy to announce that I will be joining the Faculty of Biology & @cibss.bsky.social at @uni-freiburg.de as an Emmy-Noether funded group leader. We will tackle the molecular and genetic basis of developmental timing and size control using diverse Oryzias species. We are hiring at all levels !

The Frenster Lab is here! 🍾 I am so excited to start my #EmmyNoether funded group at @uni-freiburg.de this summer. Our group studies #CellCompetition dynamics during embryonic development using #gastruloids from multiple species. Thanks to the @dfg.de for creating this opportunity! FrensterLab.com

Save the date 📅! Our TriNational #devbio #stemcell Meeting 2025 will be held in Freiburg on Sept. 19th. As always, participation is free and talks will be selected from early career scientists. Joun us 😊 Info: devstemcell.org/home @biozentrum.unibas.ch @uni-freiburg.de @igbmc.bsky.social

Big news! "researchers will be eligible to apply for a Starting Grant immediately after successfully defending their PhD, and at any time within the following ten-year period." #ERC #ERCstarting erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

I'm excited to join @pritiagarwal.bsky.social and @tarafinegan.bsky.social as a co-organizer for the International Developmental Mechanics Seminar Series. The series will resume in September 2025, and call for speakers is now open! More info is on our new website: sites.google.com/view/devmech...

📢 Fresh off the press and featuring new exciting experiments! 🧪 We show how glycolytic activity instructs germ layer proportions through regulation of Nodal and Wnt signaling - happy to finally share this 😊 doi.org/10.1016/j.st... B2B with @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social lab: doi.org/10.1016/j.st... 🤩

I'm really grateful for the large turnout of our Gastruloid meeting in Barcelona. Close to 100 researchers from 9 countries. With the gastruloid field expanding, I hope that the community stays this close and that the meeting becomes an annual tradition! #gastruloids #conference

The Barcelona #gastruloid meeting has been a blast. A witness to a field that is maturing and a statement of a promise that lurks in its horizon. Thank you @joshifrenster.bsky.social @dias-andre.bsky.social and Ulla Fiuza for the organization, @EMBO, @ERC and the community for support.

Thrilled to announce that I am looking for a Research Technician/Assistant to join my lab @imbavienna.bsky.social. Please consider applying if you’re enthusiastic about #devbio #stemcells #teamwork and excited to help shaping a new lab! Thankful for any retweet! 🫶 imba.onlyfy.jobs/job/l6u2m980

First day of our Gastruloid Meeting in Barcelona kicking off with amazing talks and discussion and a room filled with gastruloid enthusiasts! #gastruloids #conference

Excited to share our latest paper in DevCell! We show how EOMES and the SWI/SNF complex collaborate to drive chromatin remodeling, establishing mesoderm and endoderm differentiation potential. Read the full paper here: www.cell.com/developmenta...

Do you want to illuminate your studies on innate immune responses? Our new biosensor monitors mtDNA from apoptosis, viral infections, other sources of dsDNA and environmental cGAMP. We also show that micro nuclei are poor activators of the #STING response

Thinking about the Spanish word "anoche", I realized that we forgot the English word "yestereve". Bring back concise words!

1/3 Embryogenesis requires fit cells. Here, following work from @miguel-torres-1963.bsky.social & @tristanrodriguez72.bsky.social and led by @joshifrenster.bsky.social we develop a #gastruloid model of #CellCompetition www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... showing it recapitulates much of the embryo 🧵

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Here we explore the role of #Wnt and #Nodal signalling during mammalian gastrulation using #gastruloids. Building on the work of many labs, we propose that antagonistic signalling-dependent #modularity in the PS establishes the early mammalian body plan.

We've wondered for a while why #gastruloids are so sensitive to initial cell numbers. Here www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... led by U, Fiuza, we explore this & observe effects of a number of variables on final structure and think what this tells us @ embryogenesis #IInNumbersWeTrust #NotInTheGenes

For the dev bio crowd : there is a call for junior group leader at Institut Pasteur in Paris and one of the axis covered is related to development. Come and join us in this exciting place and become one of our colleague @devstempasteur.bsky.social Please RT !! research.pasteur.fr/fr/call/call...

When late science-nights reward you with those types of views, it makes it all worth it!

Next week, we’re back with two unique development talks: mouse gastruloids 🐭 with Kristina Stapornwongkul and turtles 🐢 with Agáta Horáčková & Barbora Straková. Mark your calendar—you won’t want to miss this! 🗓️ Dec 5, 12:30 EST / 18:30 CET / 17:30 UTC 🕥

We recently uncovered that morphogenetic signals not only read our blueprints, but are key to maintain them, particularly in stem cells. Joint effort of numerous collaborations and the lead of Prof. Sergio Acebrón at @cosheidelberg.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

i'm begging y'all to stop reporting centrifuge speeds in RPM. plz stop.

Let's get the discussion rolling with a starter pack that will grow over time! go.bsky.app/JyvbmXA #gastruloid #stembryo #gastruloids

🚨 The Gastruloid Meeting will take place in Barcelona, Spain on March 20-21st 2025. Registration will be free but mandatory. Please let us know if you plan on attending, using this link: forms.gle/EtHZukwqgyN6... (Pre-registration is closing soon) Spread the word! #gastruloid #conference
