Our latest: an integrated experimental & computational framework for dynamical modelling of gene expression with time-resolved single-cell transcriptomics using metabolic labelling of RNA by Rory Maizels et al cell.com/cell-systems/f… 🧵

Great pop sci article by John Wallingford on #devbiol with real historical depth & breadth Also commentary on the promises, publicity & propaganda aeon.co/essays/after-3…

The staggering costs of visa inequality🚨 In 2023 rejected EU visas cost the world’s poorest €100M +, 💰 flowing from poor to rich countries, like a 'reverse remittance'. Yet we never hear about this🤨 I talked to EUobserver based on latest LAGO analysis euobserver.com/eu-and-the-wor…

So happy to share our new pre-print, which illuminates how SHH+ floor plate cells contribute to spinal cord regeneration in axolotls. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… I couldn't be more proud of lead author Laura Arb and dream partners Emanuel Cura Costa, Osvaldo Chara and Elly Tanaka! 1/14

How do embryos build organs with the right shape, size and function to keep our bodies ticking?🫀🫁👀 Rashmi Priya @rashmi-priya.bsky.social and I give our take here, in a rollercoaster ride from local cell behaviors to organ-scale physiology and back cshperspectives.cshlp.org/content/early/…

Top scientists turning down UK jobs over ‘tax on talent’, says Wellcome boss theguardian.com/education/arti…

New analysis from the The Royal Society shows just how high UK visa costs for researchers are compared to upfront costs for similar visa routes in 13 other countries. Here, we take a look at how the UK compares to countries in the G7 included in the analysis 🔍⤵️ 1/5

Our new paper in Nature Ecol & Evol (nature.com/articles/s4155…) takes a fresh look at the co-evolutionary dynamics of mammalian brain and body size.

Come and join us at the LGBTQIA+ Stem Cell Networking Meet-Up at this year's ISSCR annual meeting. Hope to see you at Meet-up Hub 3 from 5 to 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, July 11th. Appreciate it if you could share this news with your network! ❤️🏳️‍🌈Mount Sinai Institute for Regenerative Medicine New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute

Very happy to share that our paper describing the HUSH2 complex is now out online Molecular Cell !!!!! The first paper from my PhD Gurdon Institute and a big big labour of love (and blood, sweat, and tears) from our team 🧑🏽‍🔬👩‍🔬💓 Thread 🧵 below! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It took more than a DECADE... but finally it’s published!!! It started as a CRAZY idea but after tons of hard work we built it: We hijacked the endogenous secretion systems of Toxoplasma gondii, a brain parasite, to deliver active proteins to neurons 👇 nature.com/articles/s4156…

Congratulations to Professor Laura Andreae! She was awarded the Louise Hanson Marshall Special Recognition Award by Society for Neuroscience (SfN) for her work in establishing infrastructure to promote #DEI in #neuroscience internationally. kcl.ac.uk/news/laura-and…

Vaccines are incredible

Science is built on trust. What happens when someone destroys it? My first feature for The Transmitter investigates the emotional and existential fallout for one lab in the aftermath of a misconduct case. thetransmitter.org/science-and-so…

Exciting #PhD opportunity The Francis Crick Institute CDN | King's College Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience to study the control of mitochondrial activity during brain development & disorders jointly supervised by Mike Devine & myself Houart Lab . Interested? Apply for Crick-KCL PhD programme 2025! crick.ac.uk/careers-study/…

New #preprint alert from our lab! We investigated how cellular context influences TF-driven epigenetic rewiring during neuronal differentiation. Check it out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new paper on epigenome editing is out! We mapped which effector domains regulate transcription across genomic, cell type and DNA-binding domain contexts. Then we built new gene repressor and activator tools with improved efficiency & deliverability nature.com/articles/s4158…

✨New✨ Brand lab preprint - Quiescent neural stem cells adopt a transient 'stem cell-neuron' identity to coordinate their reactivation across the CNS. We discussed the neuronal traits of quiescent NSCs for years, so it's been great to see Laura/Jocelyn uncover these mechanisms!

PAPER OUT ✨ "hack" your microscope to work as a 3D printer! micrometer sized features at cm scale. <5$ in material costs per chip. from idea to experiment within a day. first paper of my phd in PertzLab PertzLab to make it through peer review! doi.org/10.1039/D5LC00…
