📣 Paper alert!

I am delighted that our paper exploring the impact of Neanderthal-derived variants on the activity of a disease-associated craniofacial enhancer has been published in Development today!

In the spirit 👻 of Freaky Friday 🎃, here is a beautiful yet eery video of zebrafish retina development showing horizontal cells (🔵) finding their way out of the crowded amacrine (🟠) layer to settle beneath the photoreceptors. Happy #Halloween!

One of the people I'm indebted the most for creating stunningly beautiful #mesoSPIM samples was Martina Schaettin - who tragically passed away in March this year. To honor her memory, Elkhan Yusifov created an award - submit your best #microscopy images & videos! www.linkedin.com/company/mart...

Crazy-looking larval cusk eel with an impressive external gut. We’re still not sure why having the intestines on the outside is advantageous, but there must be a good reason 🤔

Cell-cell junction proteins like ZO-1 not only play a critical role in the mechanical interaction between cells, but also participate in the biochemical signalling to coordinate the cell sheet. Check out this review on collective cell migration here to learn more: doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...

Maybe it's time we rethink the idea that development is a cell centric process? In this beautiful review, María-del-Carmen and @stramerlab.bsky.social discussed how the ECM underlies and influences many morphogenesis processes from wing unfolding to mammary gland development.

A striking capture by @murawalalab.bsky.social Marko Pende for a 2020 paper in the @aaas.org journal Science Advances (doi.org/10.1126/scia...). It shows the intricate structures of the axolotl — a model for regeneration research.
