It’s out! 🐟 We compared three regeneration superstars—axolotl, zebrafish, and Polypterus—to ask how animals regrow limbs and fins. We find shared core processes, and other programs fine-tuned by evolution in surprising, lineage-specific ways. tinyurl.com/mpftkn7y

A landmark discovery in cancer neuroscience! Why is the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) lower in patients with a history of cancer? CELL: Peripheral cancer attenuates amyloid pathology in Alzheimer’s disease via cystatin-c activation of TREM2 www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

So proud of this incredible team and all we accomplished this year! We’re looking for 1-2 postdocs to explore evo-devo, organ regeneration, extreme physiology, non-traditional animals, and SUPERMAN 🦸‍♂️! Please spread out news. @isrbio.bsky.social @ahascience.bsky.social @socdevbio.bsky.social

Here is a copy of last year's Twitter thread explaining our preprint - jump to (21) for the new stuff 👀 Synergy between cis-regulatory elements can render cohesin dispensable for distal enhancer function now revised and journal accepted at www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵👇

We've just been awarded a grant to study the cellular basis of regeneration – to track the progenitors of sensory organs in the context of leg regeneration, in our favourite crustacean tinyurl.com/parhyale, based on live imaging and cell tracking. The project involves some cool collaborations... 1/3

All new NIH funding opportunities should incorporate New Approach Methodologies, a suite of modern alternatives including computer modeling, AI and ‘organs-on-a-chip’ technologies. “NIH will no longer seek proposals exclusively for animal models.” www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/nih-announce...

Very excited to see the first Beisaw lab publication out in its final form 🥳🥳 rdcu.be/ei1I7 if you’re interested in zebrafish heart regeneration and how cardiomyocytes replace the fibrotic injured tissue (spoiler alert: macrophages play an important role), then read it here 👇

There is still time to apply! Come and join us!

Now our job post is out in Nature Careers. We have recruited one and have a few more positions. Please spread the news. nature.com/naturecareers/…

We're recruiting postdocs interested in regenerative biology and extreme physiology! Join us to study non-model mammalian species and rare human individuals to uncover groundbreaking insights. Please spread the news. @isrbio.bsky.social @evodevopanam.bsky.social

No more no-cost extension for NIH grants!

Happy to host my friend Dr. Doug Anderson as the speaker for our first seminar in 2025 @ucsanfrancisco.bsky.social #UCSF_CVRI. If you are interested in RNAs and his novel gene stitching approach (just published in @science.org: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…), please join us. Sorry no Zoom option.

Happy Holidays from the Huang lab! #UCSF_CVRI @UCSF Good news: Marco de Leon receives @americanheart.bsky.social Postdoc Fellowship! Congrats! Now we have open positions. If you’re interested in joining us, please contact me. @isrbio.bsky.social @evodevopanam.bsky.social @americanheart.bsky.social
