📣 New preprint! Stoked to share a fantastic collaboration with @campaslab.bsky.social!

We discover a unique mammalian mechanism for body axis elongation using mouse and human gastruloids, and confirm central findings in mouse embryos.

Check out the 🧵 👇

Lab’s 1st preprint!

Menstruation is understudied due to societal taboos + a biological challenge: mice (a key system for research + drug discovery) don’t menstruate.

@cagricevrim.bsky.social made menstruating mice + used them to discover early events in menstruation.

He is on the job market!

In honor of the passing of Sir John Gurdon, we will revisit the concept of chimerism across scales in this review from the lab of @drmichaellevin.bsky.social. Grafting and nucleus transplanting have been the cornerstone of modern #devbio. We have come so far!
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Schematic of the study of multiscale chimerism. Subcellular chimeras in algal grafts. Chimeras at different scales: subcellular, molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and population. What determines the anatomical setpoint of regenerative homeostasis? Planarian flatworms regenerate after amputation using a resident population of stem cells. This process reliably stops when the correct species-specific head shape is restored. The following thought experiment illustrates the profound knowledge gap in our understanding of the rules of morphogenesis despite ample information about genes required for neoblast differentiation.

We built the first transgenic model of menstruation in mice.
We used it to uncover how the endometrium organizes and sheds during menstruation. 🧪

During menstruation, an inner layer of the endometrium is selectively shed, while an outer, progenitor-containing layer is preserved to support repeated regeneration. Progress in understanding this co...

Very saddened to hear of John Gurdon’s passing. I’ve been lucky enough to interact with him at multiple points through my career - from undergrad lectures, through his position as former Chair of @biologists.bsky.social’s Board of Directors, and as an author at @dev-journal.bsky.social.

Building the start: Unlocking advanced stem cell-based embryo models
Two recent studies from the Silva and Hanna groups optimized chemical induction and culture conditions to derive extraembryonic lineages directly from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) without transgenes, enabling mouse stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEMs) to reproducibly advance to the E8.5–E8.75 stage.
