Excited to share the latest preprint spearheaded by @ankitasharma.bsky.social We show that SP1 works with the #Wnt signalling pathway to drive cell growth in colon development and cancer. Cross-species analysis confirmed this role is conserved, suggesting potential for dual targeting in CRC therapy.
SP1 amplifies the effects of cellular proliferation via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in colon development and cancer https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.05.658012v1

#AskZebrafish query: “Does any lab (especially in the UK or Europe) have a Tg line pcna:GFP or similar lines to label proliferating cells?” Any help and/or leads would be appreciated 🙏

Registration for the second Paris Munich #Epigenetics conference is open! I was there for the first installment (in Munich in 2023), and this was a great forum to mix these two hubs of European epigenetic research. Outstanding program this time around! www.sfb1064.med.uni-muenchen.de/paris_munich...

5/ 🐣 With this technology at hand, we build the Virtual Embryo Zoo (virtual-embryo-zoo.sf.czbiohub.org), a showcase of cell-tracking datasets from 6 model organisms, including zebrafish and Drosophila. Explore them interactively, trace lineages, and download tracking data for further analysis! 🐠🐭

We are trialing a central hub for questions/queries for the #zebrafish community as they tend to get lost in our feed. (Really wanted to try this on Twitter) These will be reposted by us. Check there if you want to help. Amplifications appreciated 🙏
Query from Slack: Does anyone know a reliable script/method to match piRNAs with TEs? (e.g. They would be interested to find piRNAs that target a particular TE) #AskZebrafish

With some help from @raduzabet.bsky.social, I've created a starter pack of researchers working on #Epigenetics, Chromatin and Gene Regulation who are active on here:

I've likely missed many people so let me know if you want to be added. Similarly if you would like to be removed.
