One of our favourite tabs is Resources: we're listing all of our datasets, codes, beginning to upload and make accessible raw imaging data and lab protocols. Please check it out, we hope this is useful! niakanlab.com/resources/

Found this unbelievably accurate “integrated stem cell model” by JA Thomson in 1996 of marmoset ESCs 🐒 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8828827/ The simplest protocol one can think of built quite remarkable structures !?!?

Measuring properties of individual cells in relation to their neighbors in 3D tissues is challenging. @cellysally.bsky.social &co develop a computational toolkit to facilitate this, analyzing developmental patterning in mouse, chick & #Drosophila #embryo @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4lQMeNu

Can peer review be done faster, without compromising on quality? Biology Open has embarked on an exciting experiment to find out - Editor-in-Chief Dan Gorelick @danielgorelick.bsky.social explains. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt5h...

Join us! This will be a great meeting.

Our protocol with all the details you'll need to detect and quantify phospo-SMAD proteins in your (human) embryo, is finally out today @cp-starprotocols.bsky.social. Thanks again to my wonderful co-author @toddfallesen.bsky.social and the @niakanlab.bsky.social. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If you’re a PhD or postdoc developmental biologist in the UK who cares about the field and the community, please nominate yourself to join the BSDB committee. Great opportunity to get involved, have real input and give back to the community @bsdb.bsky.social #biologists100

Excited to share how we use neighbour labelling to investigate cell fate decisions in neuromesodermal progenitors. Find me at Poster 165 @biologists.bsky.social #biologists100.

🧪Attending your first scientific #conference? Thinking about what to pack, or just looking to make sure you prepared all the essentials? Have a look at The Beginner’s Guide to Scientific Conferences I got to publish for @the-node.bsky.social, out now! ☺️☺️ thenode.biologists.com/the-beginner...

Have you been following the work of the HDBI - the Human Developmental Biology Initiative? A lay summary of a recent paper from researchers involved in the HDBI is now available, written by the paper's first author @asbrumm.bsky.social hdbi.org/human-epibla... #Embryos #HumanDevelopment

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.
