We love #xenopus movies! Kerstin Feistel shows us apical constriction during neural tube closure

You know you‘ve had an awesome time at #FrogFest23 when you wander through DC and everything that catches your attention screams XENOPUS!

We made it🎉 excited to announce that @jayslab2 Mick lab Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi Kerstin Feistel Peter Walentek Bernhard Schermer Anne Grapin-Botton Benjamin Friedrich Mass Lab @muellerRom Helen May-Simera #MiriamSchmidts will start a research unit #FOR5547 working on #cilia @DFG_public

The first publication from our #FOR5547 - review about primary #cilia dynamics @jayslab2 Mick lab Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi Kerstin Feistel Peter Walentek Bernhard Schermer Anne Grapin-Botton Benjamin Friedrich Mass Lab @muellerRom Helen May-Simera embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

Looking forward to lots of fun w Mick lab and Kerstin Feistel on our collaborative project 😍

Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck on the dimension of the terror, Germanys historical responsibility and our deep solidarity with Israel. 🇮🇱 סגן הקנצלר והשר הפדרלי רוברט האבק על ממדי מתקפות הטרור הברבריות, האחריות ההיסטורית הגרמנית והסולידריות העמוקה והבלתי מעורערת שלנו לישראל 🇮🇱

Christof Niehrs (DKFZ, IMB Mainz) honours the famous Spemann-Mangold Organizer 100th anniversary experiment in his keynote lecture at #GfE2024 - the organizer through time #gastrulation #DevBio #frogs & #xenopus

branches are not only found on trees - Gaia Tavosanis (Gaia Tavosanis) reports on "Shaping the arbors: mechanisms of neuronal dendrite differentiation" #drosophila #GfE2024

Peter Walentek (Peter Walentek) takes us back to the frog with investigating "Self-organization of mucociliary epithelia: from stem cells to patterns in time and space" #Xenopus #GfE2024 #cilia #stemcells

Josefine Hoeren (Josefine Hoeren) "The endocytic receptor Lrp2 orchestrates apical constriction and cell polarity to drive cranial neural tube closure" in #Xenopus #GfE2024

On the way to the kickoff meeting of #FOR5547 and meet one of our speakers and a new lab member in the train from GfE meeting in Osnabrück to the kick off meeting in Bonn. The world is small 🙂

Kicking off FOR5547 on primary cilia dynamics! So looking forward to working together with this great group Mass Lab Benjamin Friedrich Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi Roman-Ulrich Müller @walenteklab Anne Grapin-Botton @jayslab2 Bernhard Schermer Mick lab Helen May-Simera Kerstin Feistel

Here we are - follow us on updates about #cilia funded by the DFG public | @[email protected]

Here are the five poster prize winners of the #GfE2024 in alphabetic order: Vanessa Disela, Yasmine el Azhar, Olga Jarosinska, Laura Klink, Barbara Ohlebusch. Congratulations to you!

Congratulations to Laura Klink (from Kerstin Feistel lab) for the poster prize at #GfE2024 awarded for her contribution of "Cilia-mediated regulation of neural stem cell niches in the vertebrate hindbrain" #Xenopus

That's it: #GfE2024 is over. Thanks everyone for the science, amazing talks, chairing, buzzing poster sessions, short & long discussions, organizers in the back & front - simply thanks for all your contributions! See you all latest at #GfE2026 for updates & new routes of #DevBio

Super thrilled to work with this amazing team of #cilia scientists FOR5547 in Germany. Finishing my first 1 week as a Mercator Fellow which included visits of Bernhard Schermer CCB-lab and Dagmar Wachten & lab labs and our kick off meeting. Can’t wait for our upcoming discoveries!
