Optogenetics reveals how the embryo got its stripe Read this Research Highlight showcasing work from Emily Ho Emily Kolenbrander Ho, Jared Toettcher jared toettcher, and colleagues Princeton University: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

Happy to share a new opto-technique preprint from the lab spearheaded by the indomitable Ellen Brumbaugh-Reed! In it we report a technique to dissolve constitutive protein condensates using an old friend, the classic "solubilizing" protein domain, MBP.

new results! We describe an optogenetic method to 'paint' patterns of morphogen signals in zebrafish embryos to guide their development. Preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Check out Nathan Lord's explainer thread for the details!

It's new-preprint-from-the-lab day! (In my opinion the most fun + authentic day to celebrate a new publication.) Check it out: "Large-scale control over collective cell migration using light-controlled epidermal growth factor receptors" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our study decoding gastruloid symmetry breaking is now live Nature Cell Biology! rdcu.be/dVMLG Thank you to the NCB edititorial team and to our reviewers for a constructive review process which helped improve our study. A thread on updates (1/n):

Can’t wait for all the awesome science to come from the Harry McNamara lab!
