Ectoderm barcoding reveals neural and cochlear compartmentalization
Placodes and the neural crest are defining features of vertebrates. In this study, we investigate their lineages in mice using in utero approaches. We demonstrated that nanoinjection at embryonic day ...

Hot off the press! π§¬π¬
We developed in utero nano-injection to label & trace the mouse neural plate and otic placode using next generation single cell lineage tracing. We couple progenitors to mature cell types in the CNS & resolve the lineages of cells in the hearing organ:

NEW: Children faced more risk of rare heart problems after Covid-19 infection than they did after taking the Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA vaccine, a big three-year study of under-18s in England has found.
Important evidence for debates over vaccine safety, particularly in the US.
