Very excited to see my PhD story out in @science.org Science Advances!

We followed up on the preprint with experiments on two additional groups that added a lot of nuance to the effect of BMP4 on post-fracture periosteal expansion!

Aria Huang's @azyhuang.bsky.social paper is out on beautiful embryonic kidney 3D cultures that branch properly and enable live defect analysis. She also finds intriguing effects of adhesion and stiffness on explant size, shape, and nephron formation - boundary conditions matter!

I kind of love the idea of having an 'ideas and speculation' section! ❤️ Sure you could be wrong...but what if you're right!?
Authors of this #DevBio study, ranked fundamental, have included an ‘Ideas and Speculation’ section 💡

They propose possible mechanistic explanations of their research on BMP4 mutations that contribute to vertebrate development.
