Depends if you consider the favor being first or being our closest cousin... But I for one welcome our sponge ovelords
And the tide turns back in favour of sponges! One of the longest arguments in evolutionary biology - which came first, sponges or comb jellies - has another twist! This one will run and run!
Integrative phylogenomics positions sponges at the root of the animal tree
Determining whether sponges or ctenophores root the animal tree has important implications for understanding early animal evolution. Here, we examined support for these competing hypotheses by constru...

New preprint 🥳! We made photoclickable HaloTag ligands to precisely control protein labeling on living cells. With it, we can do some cool multicolor stuff. Huge congrats to Franzi and all co-authors! Check it out 👇

Diving into the literature… I think it's the first time I see correlative live-cell/EM data after photobleaching - it shows how intense light can actually destroy microtubules rather than just bleach fluorescent tubulin along a neurite (from onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...)

Bring back LUCA you cowards
It's surprising that this is even a question, but was anyone asked about "de-extincting" the dire wolf? - Should scientists be allowed to bring distant human ancestors back to life? journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
Should scientists be allowed to bring distant human ancestors back to life?
Recently, several attempts have been made to modify modern species with ancient DNA in the name of ‘de-extinction’. This Perspective argues that independent ethical oversight needs to be put in place…

Latest Powerpoint update refuses to display images on my old slides. Perfect opportunity to remake a better historical MPS slide! (It might not look like much but there's a lot of fiddling to extract good quality images from papers, remove labels, change colors to unify, put proper scale bars etc.)

What is the cell type closest to neurons in the differentiation tree? The answer will surprise you! (unless you know about development, or were at #MiFoBio2025 listening to Pierre Nassoy's talk)
