🚨Hyped to share our new nature article! We show that crocodile head scales develop from compressive folding that arises from constrained skin growth 🐊🔬 Really proud of this one - it's cool 😎 Please read & share! Université de Genève Université de Genève Biologie - UNIGE nature.com/articles/s4158…

Check out this mesmerizing moment - a crocodile embryo hatching from its egg! 🥚🐊 Our new research in nature reveals how compressive forces, rather than gene interactions, sculpt their intricate head scales - learn more here ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4158…

This video shows the mechanical patterning of crocodile head scales 🐊. Read our new nature article to learn more ⬇️ The Milinkovitch-Tzika lab nature.com/articles/s4158…

I'm excited to finally share our review on the evolution of enameloids and enamels, now published in Biological Reviews! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

What is the function of the elongate tail in elasmobranch #rays? A new hypothesis with Júlia Chaumel in The Royal Society Proceedings B (shorturl.at/PmfYD) shows that the tail of cownose rays (and a few other species studied so far) has an elaborate lateral line.

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

Come join us! Admissions are rolling until filled, with a final deadline of February 27, 2025, for U.S.-based applicants who do not require a visa. Don't miss this opportunity—apply now and RT mbl.edu/education/adva…

Check out this "donut" shark! From the Florida Museum - malformed embryos of the sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus). Ella Nicklin CT scanned this specimen to show very odd development of the vertebral column, with no division of the centra and odd mineralization! 🍩🦈 #shark

New Pre-Print Alert! "Teeth Outside the Jaw: Evolution and Development of the Toothed Head Clasper in Chimaeras." We use fossil evidence, development and CT scans through ghost shark ontogeny to describe the emergence of the unique tenaculum! 👻🦈🦷 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled that our image was selected for the cover of Royal Society Publishing's Open Biology! We experimentally induced a developmental shift from normal footpad scales to mechanically-driven folding on chicken embryo digits 🐣🔬. Stay tuned—the full article is coming soon! 🧪 #DevBio
