Are you interested on how regenerating tissues transit between stages? Am sharing here our work showing that during #Xenopus tail regeneration, tissue stiffening activates a Piezo1-Yap1 mechanosensitive cascade to allow wounded epithelia to transit into regenerative states!

Zebrafish larvae are really good for time lapses. Just take some popcorns enjoy them like if they were movies. Here you can see with your own eyes how immune cells divide. This one I call it "Divide and flee" #spinalcordregeneration #zebrafish #timelapse #microglia

People forget that I do this whole Zebrafish Rock! thing as an unpaid volunteer. We are not affiliated with any society and shouldn’t be micromanaged as such. More and more I question why I do this. It’s not fun anymore.

The first work of my PhD is OUT 🎆

In this work, we share with the community our protocol for preparation, clearing and visualization of adult 🦓🐟 spinal cords structures that has been tested, refined and used quite frequently in our lab.

I created a simple flow chart to help my lab trainees choose the most appropriate stats test in Prism (*for single-factor comparisons only). Feel free to share with your group if you think it could be helpful first start.

Macrophage crosstalk with neural progenitors and fibroblasts controls regenerative neurogenesis via Sema4ab after spinal cord injury in zebrafish
After spinal cord injury, interactions of multiple tissues inhibit neuronal regeneration in mammals, but not in anamniotes, such as zebrafish. These pivotal interactions are poorly understood. Here we...
