PUFFFIN: Shining light on cell chat. ✨ Jennifer Ann Black (jablack) covers work from Tamina Lebek, Mattias Malaguti, Alistair Elfick & @[email protected]. #preprint This preLight includes a response from the authors 👀 ⬇️ prelights.biologists.com/highlights/puf…

Really fun session with very engaged students. First time testing out an interactive OER in person too, went as well as I could have hoped! slideserve.com/matt_mala/oer-…

Want to identify the neighbours of your favourite cells? Unsure where to start? Check out our Primer, just out in Development, for an overview of synthetic neighbour-labelling systems in development. Thanks to my co-authors Sally Lowell @[email protected] Tamina Lebek! doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…

Getting to know the neighbours - of your favourite cell! But how? Check out our primer reviewing recent advances for identifying the cellular neighbourhood and find the perfect method for your system: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

Enabling neighbour labelling: using synthetic biology to explore how cells influence their neighbours In this Primer Mattias Malaguti, Tamina Lebek, Guillaume Blin & Sally Lowell @[email protected] Institute for Regeneration and Repair review approaches for engineering synthetic signalling between cells journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

Engineered cells intelligently sense and respond to their environments with desired behaviors. We showed that de novo-designed protein binders can expand the sensing capabilities of 3 synthetic receptors, enabling new targets for engineered cells. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our m/s on the role of Notch signalling in neuromesodermal progenitors is now out in Development. Led by Fay Cooper, this was a great collaboration with Kim Dale lab. Development, Regeneration and Neurophysiology, Science at Sheffield (1/n): journals.biologists.com/dev/article/do… .

Happy #burnsnight! Great to celebrate this Scottish tradition Institute for Regeneration and Repair with our colleagues and students from all over the world, as part of our ‘IRR Celebrates’ series. A lovely afternoon filled with poetry, haggis, neeps & tatties, shortbread & tablet, and bagpipes.

New paper - Lisa started the work in her PhD with help from Rod and ⁦Nik⁩ , Henna bring it to near completion ⁦Jeanette A. Johansson⁩ ⁦Abigail Elliot⁩, Kai Yee and Justyna all provided a helping hand! COVID slowed us down! But we are here nature.com/articles/s4138…

🐥 Last few days to submit an abstract for talks at ARS 2024 🥚 Abstracts from all fields of research involving avian species are welcomed and we especially encourage submissions from ECRs and those working in developmental biology.

Very thankful for the 🍫 (and kind words) from my Biotech3 class after our last tutorial of the year.

Our latest work together with Florian Halbritter is finally out, a tremendous amount of work relying on the heroic efforts of Ingrid Saldana and Luis Montano with valuable contributions from 36 more co-authors: nature.com/articles/s4146… (1/7) Science at Sheffield St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute CCRI Neuroscience Institute

A huge congratulations to Professor Sally Lowell Sally Lowell @[email protected] on becoming an EMBO member! Sally is recognised for her outstanding contributions to developmental biology👩‍🔬🌟 ➡️ edin.ac/4eYfNKs

Struggling to identify the neighbours of your favourite cell? Stop huffin' and start PUFFFIN! Excited to see Tamina Lebek's brilliant work out in The EMBO Journal. What a fun project to be part of! #EngBIo #SynBio #DevBio

Fantastic work by Matthew French, Sally Lowell @[email protected] et al, developing new frameworks for the analysis of neighbour interactions in developing embryos from high-resolution imaging data #DevBio

So excited to see our work featured on the cover of The EMBO Journal! The image is the combination of a key experiment from our paper and clever micropatterning of PUFFFIN cells.
