Is there a better way to make PGCs in culture than with disorganised EBs and signalling cocktails? In our latest pub Development we show that mouse 'gastruloids' make beautiful PGCs... 😍 [as also seen by others] (1/6) doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…

One decade after starting this journey, our collaborative paper with Gibson Lab is finally out: rdcu.be/dtupS. It reports chromosome assemblies of the related sea anemones @Nematostella and Scolanthus callimorphus. Will be an important resource for the community.

An interactive resource of molecular signalling in the developing human haematopoietic stem cell niche Read this Human Development Article by Edie Crosse Edie, Alexander Medvinsky Centre for Regenerative Medicine and colleagues: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

Why do we get certain diseases whereas others do not exist? This new book builds a foundation for systems medicine. Starting from basic laws, it derives why hormone, immune and aging circuits are built the way the are, culminating in a periodic table of diseases.

Cannot recommend this enough!

Great study in Cell from our virologist colleagues Elisabeth Puchhammer et al & neurologists of the MedUni Wien. Bravo!! 👏 Specific Epstein-Barr virus determinants and immune responses by NK & T cells implicated in the risk for #multiplesclerosis. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Our latest release on placental microvasculature..Just in time for the holidays! ⁦HaaseLab⁩ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

What graduate degree should you go for? The MBA, the MD, the JD, or the PhD? The PhD is unique - it has to be said - for teaching both critical reasoning and the creative process of discovery; skills that prepare you for anything you’d then want to do.

Our new data-driven mathematical model of sarcomere assembly is now out. All the math was done by our fantastic collaborators in Dresden Benjamin Friedrich Physics of Life Dresden IBDM @ClaraMSidor Benoit Dehapiot journals.aps.org/prxlife/pdf/10…

What a beautiful sight - children with Microscopes, curiosity in their eyes learning the wonders of Developmental Biology! Terrific outreach event organised by Indian Society of Developmental Biologists and fantastic students at National Centre for Biological Sciences. Great start to InSDB 2024!

Our paper describing Bioframe, a python library for working with genomic intervals, was just accepted! academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

New manuscript alert! Writing in nature, the Burga Lab (Alejandro Burga) describe a genomic silencing mechanism which represses a selfish genetic element in the eggs of the nematode C.tropicalis only when it is paternally inherited. Their findings reveal the potential evolutionary

Elly Tanaka will be IMBA’s new Scientific Director, heading the institute from April 2024 onwards. Elly Tanaka is a renowned researcher, who studies the regeneration of complex body parts. Welcome, Elly!

Meet EcoBot the professional weeder. The Machine Learning, Solar powered apparatus that can run for the entire day pulling weeds. Replaces expensive in every possible way, herbicides.

Congratulations to Clara Schmidt, MendjanLab, who successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “Multi-Chamber Cardioids Unravel Human Heart Development and Cardiac Defects!”

'The Mechanics of building functional organs - our take on this fundamental problem. We discuss general design rules building complex 3D geometries, advocate for a holistic understanding of morphogenesis by embracing the complexity of embryonic development.cshperspectives.cshlp.org/content/early/…

Very excited to see our new paper online nature, where Justus Kleifeld Patricia and myself decipher the molecular choreography for how disassembly of the spliceosome begins. This was a great collaboration between the Plaschka Lab and Luisa Cochella lab IMP.

Beyond thrilled to present our first (!) work The Francis Crick Institute! A tour de force by Toby Andrews et al combining imaging, solid morphometrics, theory, perturbations to show how a developing heart grows and scales up its morphological complexity to keep beating... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Force regulation of myogenesis by Tono, a BTB-Zn finger transcriptional regulator, which forms droplets after acute high pressure application. It responds in 1 minute :) - in yellow in the nuclei sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Congrats to Xu Zhang and Jérôme Avellaneda #Drosophila #muscle
