Exciting collaboration with my favorite scientist @patyschneider22.bsky.social Check out this amazing transgenesis: tetraodon dorsal retina enhancer lights up eGFP in zebrafish and mice retinas!

Preprint out! Salamanders harbor a hypersensitive mTOR, thought to enable their remarkable limb regeneration. But do you need a special mTOR to regrow appendages? In Polypterus, we find that a canonical mTOR pathway supports full appendage regeneration. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Kudos to @josanesousa.bsky.social @gabrielalima19.bsky.social @perezlouise.bsky.social and the rest of the team!

It’s National Day of the Mexican Axolotl! @ischneider.bsky.social @josanesousa.bsky.social @perezlouise.bsky.social @lsuresearch.bsky.social @lsu.bsky.social @lsuscience.bsky.social #axolotl

And it's out indeed! Huge congrats to @josanesousa.bsky.social, @gabrielalima19.bsky.social, @perezlouise.bsky.social & Hannah Schof! A true tour-de-force that highlights how emerging model systems can shed new light on long-standing macro-evolutionary questions. Go #axolotl, #polypterus #zebrafish!

Evolutionary remodeling of the ventral retina enables aerial vision in the four-eyed fish Anableps anableps https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.02.686143v1

How do four-eyed fish see above & underwater? 🌤️🌊 Our new preprint reveals how Anableps rewired its retina for dual vision- evolution at work 👁️👁️ Kudos to @perezlouise.bsky.social @josanesousa.bsky.social @keylapruett.bsky.social + team! 🔗 tinyurl.com/3a8r9xy5

Our preprint is out! Kudos to @josanesousa.bsky.social, @gabrielalima19.bsky.social, @perezlouise.bsky.social and undergraduate prodigy Hannah Shof! By comparing Polypterus fin and axolotl limb we find shared and new regeneration programs. @lsuscience.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The registration for Pan Am EvoDevo meeting 2025 will start very soon. Bring your exciting research to U of Miami and meet many folks this July. Stay tuned! panamevodevo.org
