Very excited & grateful to have received an European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant for the project ORIGINEURO @Sars_Centre Universitetet i Bergen to study the neural network of ctenophores. Big thanks to my outstanding team, mentors & collaborators. #ERCCoG #ctenophores

PLEASE RT AND SAVE THE DATE: It is our great pleasure to officially announce that the Euro Evo Devo Meeting 2024 #EED2024 will be held at University of Helsinki Finland 🇫🇮, June 25th-28th 2024! 🎉 Exciting time to visit Finland and witness the long days of the Nordic summer!☀️ Visit Finland

Sponge enthusiasts: I'm putting some protocols up on Protocols.io. Here's one for growing sponges from gemmules (dx.doi.org/10.17504/proto…) and another for fixation/staining (dx.doi.org/10.17504/proto…). Dropping one for HCR-FISH later this week

As promised, our HCR-FISH protocol for Ephydatia (sponge) is now on Protocols.io dx.doi.org/10.17504/proto…

My commentary on cilia transition fibers (TF) in Drosophila and other model organism is out now in Current Biology. TF are conserved but different functions in the cell. Great start to dive into the topic authors.elsevier.com/a/1gfq23QW8S2P… Max Perutz Labs Vienna Dammermann Lab #Centriole #Cilia

Get ready for a revolutionary year in #Ichthyosporea with @Elenacleomina! Optimized genome assemblies, new cell biology features, and for the first time ever, we will expose #icthyos to unique environmental conditions!!

We are excited to share the beautiful work of Abby Primack 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM, revealing the differentiation trajectories of the entire Hydra nervous system! We see differentiation from stem cells, as well as uncovering the first transdifferentiation trajectories. bit.ly/407ujrx

Online in Current Biology, Áine Varley at al. demonstrate the consequences of transplanting a single #Hydractinia adult stem cell (aka #i-cell) to an allogeneic host: full takeover–soma and #germline Helen Horkan Gabriel Krasovec Emma McMahon Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Our new sponge model species: Phakellia ventilabrum, a deep-sea sponge from the Arctic Circle, which we can now maintain in our cold water system in the lab. A great step towards understanding the ecology of deep-sea polar sponges!

🐇Very excited to share what happens when sea anemones resize a whole body in response to feeding or starvation! tinyurl.com/muvy4ve7 Spoiler: No 🪄🍪 needed! Thanks for the great collaboration! @PRHSteinmetz Belén García Pascual Eudald Pascual Iain Johnston Michael Sars Centre RealfagUiB

How do cell types evolve? A small article by the Roger Revilla-i-Domingo to comment on a FANTASTIC paper from the lab of Veronica Seastar in eLife. Congratulations Veronica Seastar !! elifesciences.org/articles/90447

Congratulations to Antonia Grausgruber Roger Revilla-i-Domingo for the poster prize at the #BasalMetazonWorkshop in Tutzing!! Thanks to Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo for bringing us into the unicellular world! Congrats also to Eudald Pascual-Carreras @PRHSteinmetz and Matthias Achrainer!

First session of the #VBCPhDSymposium kicked off by @FRKT_Lab alumnus Roger Roger Revilla-i-Domingo Universität Wien, focusing on #sponges as model systems for assessing the transition to multicellularity and as a promising window to deep sea ecology.

Fantastic Master thesis defense by Antonia Grausgruber Roger Revilla-i-Domingo today. Amazing work on unicellular holozoans that opens a whole new chapter in the Revilla Lab. Thanks also to the Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo for the great support in this adventure!

Very happy to be part of the team, with Rottinger_Lab, JuanMa Gonzalez-Rosa, Lucie Laplane, Tatjana Piotrowski and Catherine Wilson, organizing the EMBO regeneration meeting 2024 in France (#EMBOtissueRepair). Registration is now open! meetings.embo.org/event/24-tissu…

Congratulations to Adelmann from Tessmar & Raible Labs and Sema Elif Eski from Sumeet Pal Singh for winning the poster prizes at the EMBO Regeneration Meeting 2024 (#EMBOtissueRepair)!!!
