These have a glowing secret... Catsharks! #LetsChangeThat

Check out our paper! We identify a population of retinal progenitors that are maintained late in human retinal development, and give rise to both first- and last-born cell types in the retina, condensing 100 days of retinal development into a small region at the retinal margin!

Methods chapter about the application of scRNA-seq in mouse retinal regeneration. First paper in Brian Clark lab! The best is yet to come! link.springer.com/protocol/10.10…

We would like to welcome the new PhD students of our group! Ana Belén Salgueiro Lago and Maruxa Martinez-Conchas

Check out how spinal cord #celltype diversity exponentially scales up with the #swimtolimb transformation during frog metamorphosis. And, for those of you #evodevoneuro lovers, we also find striking conservation in motor and inhibitory neuron types between amphibians 🐸 and

Baby Shark Face. The emerging face of an embryonic shark, the small spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula; ~stage 26). The developing head is bulbous as the nasal cavities, brain and jaws are taking shape. The face at this stage doesn't look very shark-like! 🦈🦈🦈 #babyshark

We are excited to announce the 2nd edition of our theoretical and practical course “New Technologies for Developmental Evolutionary Biology Studies” : sites.google.com/view/evodevo20… 16th-19th December 2024 at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain Application deadline: 25th October

I am more than happy to share our preprint about the evolution of non-visual and visual opsins in fishes, fruit of a collaboration between the Salzburger lab (Lily Fogg , Walter Salzburger Lab ) and Fabio Cortesi (Fabio Cortesi). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest study is out in Science Advances! Age-related differences in the inflammatory microenvironment account for the striking variation in 🐸 Müller cell proliferation after injury across developmental stages. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 👇 Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience

Really happy to share that our story on mosaic evolution in the internal mushroom body circuit in Heliconiini butterflies is now published Current Biology. cell.com/current-biolog… @EBaBlab #brainevolution DZG Neurobiologie @neuroethology

🦜Insights into avian sleep! Key brain nuclei mapped in Congo and Timneh gray parrots and pied crow, linked to sleep regulation. Findings suggest homology w/mammalian structures, but key differences hint at unique avian sleep patterns. Mazengenya & Manger: doi.org/10.1002/ar.255…

🎃👻 1/6 Just in time for Halloween, I am excited to announce that my work with Richard Dearden and Thomas Near to produce a new, species-rich phylogeny of living and extinct chimaeras and ghost sharks is now published! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

And it is out! Check out the new story of the lab that shows how nuclear deformabiliy influences their movements…and when… cell.com/current-biolog…

New collaborative @bioRxiv alert, with Dario Tommasini, Karthik Shekhar and Takeshi Yoshimatsu about the molecular and evolutionary relationships across vertebrate rods and cones: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… a mini thread...

And it is finally there! The heroic effort by @Lucrezia_CF paid off. It was not always easy but resilience and stamina got us there. Thanks also to our collaborators Carl D Modes and Robert Haase for support! Check it out and let us know what you think! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Preprint alert from Corbo Lab at Washington University in St. Louis and me. We found a cis-regulatory code conserved across a broad range of vertebrates, including jawless species in retinas. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest work is out!! Short thread below. cell.com/developmental-…

New @bioRxiv #preprint with @chiara_fornetto and T Euler (who left X): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
