A fish specialist position in Nakamura lab is still open. Great opportunity to learn fish husbandry, genetics, and evodevo with zebrafish, skates, and some other unique fish. Thanks RT!!
As Elaina is successfully moving to a master school of E&E this spring, we are looking for a fish specialist/lab tech. If you are interested in this position, contact me. Thank you for spreading the word!! nakamuralab.com @rutgersuniversity.bsky.social

We read this paper that analyzed spiny ray development in acanthomorpha in a lab meeting. The ontogenetic processes are a bit different between spines and rays ! Great study by Miyamoto et al. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Actinotrichia-independent developmental mechanisms of spiny rays facilitate the morphological diversification of Acanthomorpha fish fins
Skeletal forms in vertebrates have been regarded as good models of morphological diversification. Fish fin forms are greatly diversified, and their bone structure is classified into soft rays and spin...

Started from ontogenetic and molecular studies of living lineages, authors found reciprocally cavitated joints in placoderms. Placoderms can move pectoral fins very smoothly!! Congrats @neelimasharma.bsky.social @neilshubin.bsky.social Yara Haridy! #Teamfish #evodevo

Scientists do science not politics. The situation is very concerning and massive thread to basic science. But please do remember - we are scientists and change the world using the power of science. That’s our heart. Focus on your science whatever happens. We won’t be distracted.

Today, our lab read www.nature.com/articles/s41... from @devegenaimeezuniga.bsky.social showing two distinct cell populations determine the number and identity of digits. We found two genetic modules generate skate and shark fin diversity a while ago. Very intriguing. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Single-cell profiling of penta- and tetradactyl mouse limb buds identifies mesenchymal progenitors controlling digit numbers and identities - Nature Communications
The initial cellular alterations underlying changes in digit numbers and identities were unknown. Here, Palacio et al. identify two limb bud progenitor populations that are impacted in an opposing man...

Very high resolution study of osteocytes in ancient fishes! Such intricate osteocytes network and low mineralized regions we can see!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Bone metabolism and evolutionary origin of osteocytes: Novel application of FIB-SEM tomography
New applications of imaging technology reveal that 425 million–year–old fossil bone cells had modern mineral metabolism abilities.

New NIH funded research from our group now out. We are interested in development and evolution of cell types and adult phenotypes. In this paper, postdoc Dylan Huang and collaborators asked how a pigmentary ornament of bright white cells develops on the fin of zebrafish. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
