Let's take a moment to appreciate this honorable mention from the #NikonSmallWorldInMotion competition, which demonstrates the early nervous system formation in a quail embryo. bit.ly/45ft0IC Photo Cred: Dr. Melanie White & Jianxiong Wang

Out now in Nature Comms from a fabulous international collaboration across 4 countries with @SMBurgessLab The Vertebrate Genome project, Manfred Schartl, the Anderson lab and ourselves. A quality genome and very low mutation rate for our epaulette shark nature.com/articles/s4146…

Check out this thread from my outstanding PhD student Jianxiong Wang 王建雄 Institute for Molecular Bioscience highlighting some of his favourite research on the mechanics of neural tube development!

A new transgenic Lifeact-EGFP quail to investigate #actin dynamics during #morphogenesis in a higher vertebrate from Alvarez, Melanie D. White, also @melaniedwhite.bsky.social et al. Institute for Molecular Bioscience. Perfect for hi-res imaging of the actin cytoskeleton from subcellular to tissue scale in vivo. hubs.la/Q02D1bpR0

Thrilled to see our Lifeact-EGFP quail published Journal of Cell Biology after a fantastic and speedy editorial process. This was a great team effort from the whole lab Institute for Molecular Bioscience but especially Yanina with support from Marise & Jianxiong Wang 王建雄. #Biology

This is a video of cells reaching out to close an embryo's neural tube as the brain and spinal cord begin to form. #UQ researchers captured this process for the first time in quails to understand more about congenital birth defects. Read more: brnw.ch/21wL3bO

Live imaging of cellular protrusions during spinal neural tube closure in a TgT2[UbC:Lifeact-EGFP] quail embryo at stage HH9–HH10 (E1). Lifeact-EGFP quail presented by Melanie D. White, also @melaniedwhite.bsky.social et al. offers insights into tissue formation in a higher vertebrate. hubs.la/Q02D1gmz0

On this day in 1936, the last known thylacine—a wolf-like marsupial known as the Tasmanian tiger—died at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania. The animal’s passing marked the extinction of its species, and underscores the current need to protect our planet’s wildlife before it’s too late.

People in Brisbane and Melbourne we need your help! Please join our study to develop a much needed diagnostic test for Long COVID - reach out because we would love to hear from you! Please retweet far and wide!!

Good to see RSPCA (England & Wales) recognise publicly that gene editing in farmed animals can offer benefits for health and welfare - in terms of preventing and controlling disease. Signs of a more pragmatic, evidence-based approach, which is very welcome. theguardian.com/science/2024/n…
