Tune in tomorrow if you are interested in understanding how stem cells can be used to make different parts of our body

Sign up to attend our next Development presents... webinar on early #embryogenesis, featuring talks from @lakshmib02.bsky.social‬, @dias-andre.bsky.social ‬and @nikhil-mishra.bsky.social. 📅Wed 9 July 15:00BST (UTC+1) Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #DevBio @dev-journal.bsky.social

In which we discuss the homologies between amphibian and mammalian organizers from the perspective of #gastruloids with special relevance to recently described A and C gastruloids as containing Spemann/Mangold and Trunk/Tail organizers www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Experimental embryology postdoc available in my lab at the @biology.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk working on the evolution of vertebral counts. Reach out if you’re passionate about EvoDevo, enjoy lab work and microscopy and are into or could get into cichlid fishes. Deadline on the 16th June. Please share!

We've just updated our manuscript to a more 'publishable' version! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... New details about the role of Wnt in suppressing neural differentiation and fostering a posterior epiblast state, and the temporal effect of Nodal signalling in driving mesendodermal fates

Great work from Alexandra and Sebastian et al showing how gastrulation is governed downstream of Wnt and Nodal. Two competing transcriptional modules - two opposing signalling activities - orchestrate the emergence of the mammalian body plan. moving forward, together

Difficult to believe that such a community has emerged @ #gastruloids as a model system to explore many aspects of #DevBio. Great to see a room so full of people, curiosity and good Science @prbb.org @upf.edu Thank you to all that have made this possible & of course to the participants

There's increasing evidence that in organoid/embryoids conditions of cells at start of experiments is crucial/ determines outcome. Much to be learnt still. Taking advantage of mouse #gastruloids, two groups explore this here. Important work to calibrate the field www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

N2B27 media formulations influence gastruloid development https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.15.643474v1

Fun collaboration! All the nitty-gritty about N2B27 and gastruloids. Kudos to all the authors, particularly Tina Balayo (¡que va de primero!)

Thrilled to share our new preprint from Ye Zhu in the lab. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... . We look at the cell fate potential and degree of cadherin switching of human ES cells differentiated to different primitive streak coordinates.

Birth defects are the #1 cause of death in the first year of life (🧵). Birth defects kill more than twice as many children as cancer. Birth defects are diseases of developmental biology. Here are CDC statistics for 2021. 1/5 wisqars.cdc.gov/pdfs/leading...

📣 Please share: We’re hiring a tenure-track Group Leader in Multicellular Systems to explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving the formation, maintenance, or destabilization of tissues, organs and organisms. Apply at: www.fmi.ch/education-ca...

Announcing this upcoming conference: GASTRULATION RELOADED: Developing, engineering, and evolving the body plan Join us as we explore the latest research on gastrulation and axis formation/elongation, featuring common, exotic, and synthetic embryos! 📅 14–17 October 2025 📍 Paris, France

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 🧵

Postdoc recruitment for an ERC-funded project! Are you eager to resolve embryonic cell fates with next generation single cell linege tracing? We use in utero barcoding & omics to map development, providing a basis for high throughput perturbations.. Pls re-post! Apply: ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

P.S. for some scientific content, check out this 'behind the paper' post I wrote for @the-node.bsky.social describing the background and origin story of our recent study using signal-recording genetic circuits to decode gastruloid symmetry breaking! thenode.biologists.com/behind-the-p...

For some time now we’ve been aware that Chiron #gastruloids, while representing well axial elongation, exhibit a shortage of anterior fates. Here www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @Dias and colleagues uncover the reason and explain the implications for our understanding of mammalian gastrulation 🧵

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.
