How do tiny worm embryos decide which cells become muscle, nerve, or gut - all without reading any new DNA? 🤔 Our new Cell Reports paper explores this fascinating question using C. elegans embryos. cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(25)00549-2 🧵 Thread below 👇

Ever wondered how several individual RBPs cooperate to repress translation? Lead by @marcopayr.bsky.social and in great collaboration with @hennig-lab.bsky.social, we simultaneously tracked the binding of several proteins to single mRNA molecules in real-time! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

"New preprint! 🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.13.628416v1 We explored protein translation regulation in early embryo development using C. elegans as our model. #DevBio #CElegans 1/3"
