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.

Last Friday I successfully defended my PhD thesis! Thank you to all who attended, in person and virtually! Thanks to my partner, family and friends for their endless support, and a thank you especially to my mentor Sarah McMenamin for her guidance and encouragement all these years.

transport yourself to the late 90s with this really cool paper on digit number regulation by Shh and BMP, ZPA and AER.

Dual Bmp-negative feedback loops modulate function of both AER and ZPA to buffer and constrain postaxial digit number | PNAS
Several lines of evidence indicate that posterior (postaxial) digit number in tetrapod vertebrates is constrained to the pentadactyl state by inter...

Are digits modified fins, or evolutionary innovations? Read how we tackled this old question from a new angle🧪 A story with

and myself, coordinated by

What guides fibroblast precursors' migration from the
#sclerotome
during vertebrate development?
@penghuang031.bsky.social
&co show that this is driven by
#PDGF
-mediated chemoattraction, enabling their differentiation into specialized

subtypes

We take for granted that our hands have two sides and can articulate in an endless number of ways. But what about a fish’s fin? Can a fish know something “like the back of its fin,” or have its future told with a fin palm reading? Check out this bluetorial to find out 👇🧪🧬🐟

Hello Bluesky: Long time listener, first time poster! Excited to share the first publication of my Ph.D. work studying the development of appendage shapes in
@plosbiology.org
! The zebrafish caudal fin is quite distinctive, and we examine the timing and mechanisms of how its shape might come to be!
add a skeleton here at some point
