is fascinating because what do you mean we can learn about stem cell biology and aging by studying a tiny minimalistic creature like the Hydra? 🤯 In this fascinating review, Thomas W. Holstein discussed how the Hydra can be used as a model system for these processes.

During morphogenesis, different tissue interacts with one another, either mechanically or biochemically. Patrick P.L. Tam and Pragathi Masamsett show that the anterior mesendoderm can pattern head formation in mouse embryos by regulating WNT signalling. Check it out here:

! I captured this shot of a group of embryonic macrophages expressing LifeAct and H2B migrating inside tissue. These cells can use lamellipodia, filopodia, or blebs to migrate, and are frequently switching between these different modes or combining them. So fascinating.
