Zelda's Link: The role of gene activity-switching transcription factor Zelda in controlling tissue regeneration 📷 Anish Bose et al‪ @rachelsmithbolton.bsky.social lab @uofillinois.bsky.social in @science.org ScienceAdvances ➡️ bpod.org.uk/archive/2025... with John Ankers

Writeup of our latest work on how Zelda controls the exit from regeneration.

So excited that our latest work is out! We have been working to understand how damaged tissue exits regeneration and returns to normal gene expression, and found a major role for the pioneer transcription factor Zelda in flies. Kudos to @anishbose.bsky.social @keatonschuster.bsky.social et al!
