Have you ever wondered how your back formed? The human embryo makes a neural tube (future spinal cord) and somites (trunk muscle/bone) from ~d20. They’re formed at the same time and place, so we used human Trunk-like Structures (hTLS) to investigate their ‘co-development’… (1/7)

In this student-requested video, I demo the process of making a high quality publication-ready figure (from making a mockup to enhancing visual similarity in Illustrator) and narrate my general process. Follow along 📽️: youtube.com/watch?v=L9qo2X… #phdlife #AcademicTwitter #dataviz

I recently realized a lot of trainees don't really know the format of a compelling research presentation. I compiled a template that people can download on my lab website! A 🧵 to explain each component... 1. start with a nice title slide. shanmeltzerlab.com/about-3

The deadline to submit an abstract for oral and poster presentations at our Biologists @ 100 conference has been extended to Friday 17 January 2025. View the abstract topics and submit yours at 100yearsconference.biologists.com/abstracts/ #biologists100

Check out Issue 140 of Differentiation sciencedirect.com/journal/differ… It includes everything from #oligodendrocyte development to #Retinoblastoma protein roles during plant mitosis and bone cell differentiation! Bonus: the second half of a #FGF primers special issue is included!

Join us in celebrating 25 years of the Practical Course on Developmental Biology! This special event will feature alumni of the course, now PIs from around the world, as speakers. Come to beautiful Quintay to enjoy a unique blend of science, sea, and food – all for free!

Researchers from BakkersLab have successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein from zebrafish. This study marks a promising step toward regenerative therapies to prevent heart failure. Read more hubrecht.eu/zebrafish-prot… Dennis de Bakker Mara Bouwman Jeroen Bakkers
