New paper out! This work, resulting from a great collaboration with Dr. Julia Kramer from the University Hospital Dresden, shows how axolotls regenerate large gaps in their mandible and how similar this process is to the limb. Check out the full text here: doi.org/10.1242/dmm.05…

Now that I’ve had time to rest I would like to thank to all the people that came to my poster in #EMBO #TissueRepair and for their beautiful comments. You’re all amazing! More comming soon 😉

One of the best, if you ask me 😉

We have a new Research Assistant position open! Please apply and join our team if you are interested in Tissue Regeneration! ecsr.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Today is my #PhDversary. It’s been 6 years already… 4 Years of working in an amazing model, the #shark , which gave me a lot of joy in NEURODEVO . Time flies, right Ismael Hernández Núñez ?😅😅

Desde que me dedico a la investigación, siempre he dicho que mi mayor deseo es ser una científica normal, que la mediocridad también es buena, que no deberíamos tener que ser TOP NADA para tener un trabajo digno en ciencia y una carrera decente

Still amazed about the #regeneration capacity of #zebrafish larvae. 24h after lesion and the spinal cord axons already bridge the injury site. Neurons/axons in orange and macrophages (spoiler alert: very important) in green. Love it 😍

Did you know that #macrophages (magenta) talk to #fibroblasts (green) and that influences the regenerative outcome after a spinal cord injury? They actually slide and circle around them! Part of our last #preprint (Fixed). Credit to Özge Çark

🚨 We’re hiring 🚨 Interested in glial biology, retina ageing and killifish? We will soon be advertising a postdoc and technician position in my laboratory. Please get in touch if interested. Picture of our new glial reporter transgenic killifish. Courtesy of Chi-Kuo Hu

Trying bluer skies 🦋 . Not leaving for now, but always looking for chances of being in healthy and nice environments 😊

🎓¿Sabías que... en el sistema público español no existe un grupo profesional para la cualificación de “doctor”? 🟡Demandamos la creación de una categoría #M4 para doctores/as y un #EstatutoPersonalInvestigación que lo blinde Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades fji.precarios.org/el-desden-de-l…

Happy to share our last preprint! Role of active DNA demethylation in mouse retinal development. First research paper in Brian Clark lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

BioRxiv is the most important thing that happened in science publishing

We are currently preparing a job ad and will be looking for someone at postdoctoral level who wants to build an independent profile in the field of CNS regeneration. We have a unique multiome dataset of successful spinal cord regeneration and an in vivo model to test hypotheses.

❓ Interested in how different species respond to a central nervous system injury? 💡 Check our latest pre-print on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧑‍🔬Wonderful teamwork of the entire lab Julie De Schutter Anyi Zhang @PieterJanSerneels Luca Masin Steven Bergmans

We have a 3 year postdoc position using the killifish to study retinal ageing available in my lab. Based in London, UK and visa eligible. We’re interested in glial mechanisms underpinning age-related neurodegeneration. If you, or someone you know, is interested please reach out.

I will be talking in the next ISRB Webminar. Thanks to the Organizers for the invitation. If you want to hear about microglia in spinal cord repair join us!

We are hiring! We are looking for a postdoc to work on the impact of early microglial development on neurodegeneration, working on human #iPSCs and #BrainOrganoids Click on the link for details: achucarro.org/es/job/postdoc…

Can you rejuvenate an old brain by giving it young immune cells? 🧠 My lab Calico put it to the test. In our new study, we replaced the brain's immune cells in old mice with young ones. The result? The old brain environment forced the young cells to age RAPIDLY. A 🧵👇
