“The holy grail of regenerative biology would be to stimulate your own heart cells to replenish themselves,” says Professor Laurie Boyer. “We need to achieve a deep understanding of the fundamental processes that drive heart development.” mitsha.re/Acgl50Fit1e

To all dear Reviewers: Please try to explain your concern adequately! otherwise I as an author should spend hours thinking about what you could have thought of at the moment that you typed that one sentence critique!

What makes a heart a robust pump and not a pool of blood cells? Proudly presenting our answer here : pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34737300/ We identified a novel role of #desmoglein2 in repressing #hematopoiesis in #heart.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This is a time-lapse movie of a zebrafish embryo showing hematopoietic stem cells undergoing endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition. Extracted from a recent Development publication by Rebecca Schiavo and Owen Tamplin doi.org/10.1242/dev.19…

Meditate Like a Cell Biologist Take deep breaths and watch this video of fish keratocyte cells crawling around on a glass slide. It is surprisingly calming. Time-lapse videoed with a DIC microscope over 45 minutes of real time. #Science #Biology #CellBiology #Art

Sunday with kids in the office feels good. Kids have fun mom does some work done :)

In my group there are opportunities for Master students interested in taking part in research projects on the topic of heart development at the medical faculty of RWTH Aachen. Get in touch if you are interested. #MasterStudent,#RWTHAachen, #research, #ResearchThesis
