"GRNs, which should provide mechanistic explanations, are increasingly reduced to statistical correlations — ‘hairballs’ that fail to capture molecular causation" By Maizels and @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Please check out our new preprint! Using single cell analysis paired with HCR to visualize transcript localization we have identified cell and tissue-specific expression of various genes encoding tubulins, kifs, and dyneins during neural crest development!

Deadline extended: Submit your research on splicing in development and disease to the Differentiation special issue led by Guest Editors Natoya Peart and Karine Choquet by June 30, 2026. Learn more: https://www.sciencedirect.com/special-issue/322731/splicing-in-development-and-disease

🔬🔦In this Imaging spotlight, Kevin Dean @kevin-dean.bsky.social and team tell us about their motivation for designing Altair-LSFM, describe its key features, how to setup and use the system and their planned developments. focalplane.biologists.com/2026/03/09/i...

Condensates are powerful ways to break symmetry and cells do remarkable things with them. Here we show that in a multinucleate fungus, a condensate regulates translation of a cyclin and a formin in distinct locations. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cells use proteins like morphogens to talk to each other in order to build and maintain 3D tissue structures. But how do these morphogens reach distant cells when they are all packed together? We think long #cytonemes play a big role in shaping how cells talk to one another for growth.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Here is a mouse fibroblast with multiple thin membrane extensions reaching out toward its neighbors. The long (>10 um) extensions are a type of signaling filopodia called #cytonemes that transport signals like SHH, WNT, Notch, and GFs! 🔬 by Senior Scientist Hong Lin. 🧪 👩‍🔬

No excuses to not apply now!

I was curious to try this M-index and wondered if it would reflect my commitment to mentorship. Based on my putting in lots of ppl who I know mentor a ton or not so much, it was cool to see this is actually semi reflective of reality.
