Great and stimulating lecture from Neil Shubin @neilshubin.bsky.social today at College de France showing how biological innovations predate the revolutions. Evolution is a tinkerer! Thank you @denisduboule.bsky.social for the invite! I’ll try to find time to read George Sand 😁

Congrats Giulia! Looks super interesting! Top on my to read list (if only I had time to read this days…)
Thrilled to share my main postdoc work with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social
We used genomic barcoding + scRNAseq in chick & human embryos to reveal a lineage architecture that reshapes how we understand neural tube development & cell fate decisions

Very sad news, John Gurdon has died.

His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio.
An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers

Cell-type-specific functionality encoded within the intrinsically disordered regions of OCT4 - Nature Communications
Here they perform a systematic dissection of OCT4 and reveal how intrinsically disordered regions can be used to serve specific functions during reprogramming and embryonic development. This can be exploited to engineer more efficient and specific reprogramming factors.
