Sacoglossan sea slugs don't mind losing their heads.

Not only can the sea slugs elect to detach their heads and survive, but they can regrow a whole new body. www.cell.com/current-biol...

We generated a snRNA-seq dataset of the juvenile retina of the small-spotted catshark, comprising all major retinal cell classes, as well as retinal progenitors. We hope this will become a valuable resource for further studies on vertebrate retinal evolution and development.

🌟 ¿Qué hacemos y por qué importa? (🧵)

👉 Investigamos patologías de animales acuáticos y desarrollamos métodos para su prevención y control. Esto no solo mejora la salud de las especies acuáticas, también previene la propagación de enfermedades zoonóticas que pueden afectar a los seres humanos.

Have you had private doubts whether we'll ever understand the brain? Whether we'll be able explain psychological phenomena in an exhaustive way that ranges from molecules to membranes to synapses to cells to cell types to circuits to computation to perception and behavior?
