☕Mohri et al. show that, in response to genotoxic stress, #melanocyte #StemCells undergo #senescence - associated differentiation, causing their depletion and protecting them against melanomagenesis. This process is suppressed by #carcinogens. 👉https://rdcu.be/eOAMp bit.ly/4oNMu16

☕Li, He, Liu et al characterize the dynamic bivalent #chromatin landscape during mouse peri- #implantation development. They find that factor ZBTB17 works with KDM6A/B to resolve transiently maintained bivalent domains and prime gene activation. 👉https://rdcu.be/eOgUb bit.ly/4nBjnNC

Apologies, but manuscripts will have to wait this evening - little fellows are to be prioritized 🤗 Happy Halloween! 🎃

2nd: the findings The longest and main part of your abstract. Here you should explain: i) what you did and how ii) what you found An effective abstract doesn’t bombard the reader with details; you can’t describe all your results. Stick to major. *Must*: use friends from other fields as beta readers

@joann-trejo.bsky.social, @marymunson4.bsky.social and I have a commentary in @natcellbio.nature.com on recent attacks on DEI in biomedical research: "If scientific research, especially biomedical research, is meant to serve everyone, then it requires that everyone has an opportunity to participate"

1st: 1-2 (max) sentences - intro Present the known and its caveat. It can be as brief as 1 sentence (we know x, but y (somehow linked to x) is unknown) or 2 sentences. My view is that abstracts with more than 2 introductory sentences rarely work well. Specific, clear, only the absolutely necessary.

Tip 1: Follow a tight structure There’s not only one way, but there certainly is a “safe” and always successful recipe. Your abstract consists of 3 parts: 1st: 1-2 (max!) sentences - intro; 2nd: the longest - the findings; 3rd: 1 sentence (2 could work, but often unnecessary) - wrap it up. Tbc

Is it ok to use AI in scientific publishing? There’s a lot of confusion around this topic. The impact of progress depends on how one chooses to make use of it, and my personal opinion is that such tools can be useful, but there should be clear limits. Briefly, for Nature journals: (1/5)

Not the submission process, not reviewer #2, not the editor. Writing the abstract of the paper is often a far greater challenge. And there’s one simple reason for that: most people have a hard time figuring out what’s important for the reader. I ‘ll be sharing tips in next posts - stay tuned!

Very sad news, John Gurdon has died. A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio. An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers www.magd.cam.ac.uk/news/profess...

We, editors, don't "count votes", and yes, we may make decisions that differ from your recommendation. And that doesn't mean we "are wrong".

Elegant new study in our journal by @sarawickstrom.bsky.social @katemiro.bsky.social & co!

I’m always incredibly excited to go through the monthly physical copy (yes, even though I do know its content). @natcellbio.nature.com

Sept 2025 marks 4 years after I joined @natcellbio.nature.com & 7.5+ years since starting editorial at @natcomms.nature.com ! To mark this occasion, I’ll highlight 5 pieces that I’ve had the privilege to help shepherd to publication. (a thread for today/tomorrow) Bonus Pic of me as a baby editor .

An article in Nature tracks trends in freshwater fish biodiversity in streams and rivers across the US over the last three decades and finds that fish biodiversity diverged across cold and warm streams, with a disproportionately large impact on cold streams.🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Although we ‘re colleagues, I still haven’t met @ritastrack.bsky.social, and yet I feel like I know her, through her strong presence on social media, the great work she’s published, and numerous researchers I ‘ve met and who always had sth great to say about her. All the best for your new role!

In the 26-year history of our journal @natcellbio.nature.com this has never happened before, but the time has come: Nature Cell Biology is now open to considering #ClinicalTrials . I’m curious to hear what people in the field are up to - please reach out to me! #CellTherapy #stemcells #genetherapy

Ever since I switched to a vegetarian diet, I ‘ve been trying to find new recipes and familiarize myself with a different cooking philosophy. Believe me: #vegetarian & #vegan recipes can be INCREDIBLE! And this is absolutely one of them: cauliflower steak served with roasted potatoes and hummus.

Every single time I see this “he or she”, a glimpse of hope dies inside me.

Back to work, BUT can still not get over Ikaria. So, here it is: one of the healthiest, vegetable-based, traditional dishes that I tried in this blue zone island, called “mageirio” (from the greek verb “mageireuo”, meaning to cook). I loved cooking this 🤗

💫NEW: Gasnier et al. identify NOX1 and NPY1R as markers of colon #StemCells within the mouse caecum and the middle and distal colorectum, respectively. These stem cells contribute to the initiation of invasive colon #tumors in mice. bit.ly/4m2ZSwC

💫NEW: @studerl.bsky.social , Ciceri & co present a whole-genome CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen using directed differentiation systems. They find that MEN1 and SUZ12 modulate human developmental timing by epigenetically controlling bivalent promoters of developmental genes. bit.ly/4m4YKsx

I am a winter person, but this… I can’t say I’m not liking this :D

Beauty of nature vol 2 ❤️ #ikaria #greece

Peaceful island morning 🏝️ (I am loving this cold version of cappuccino)

I did wanna take a shot when it came, but couldn’t resist it, so you ‘ll have to imagine it based on the leftovers. As a vegetarian, I can attest to it - islands with such wonderful traditional plant-based recipes make it REALLY easy to abstain from meat. #ikaria #greece

Beauty of nature ❤️ #ikaria #greece

As much as I am already missing handling papers, it’s great to get some time off, especially when your escape location is one of the blue zones of the world: Ikaria, Greece 😍
