Happy Birthday, Rosalind Franklin. She captured an X-ray diffraction image of DNA and stated that a helical structure was probable. Watson and Crick then created a detailed model based on her results. They initially received credit for the discovery and were awarded the Nobel Prize after her death.🧪

Co-development of mesoderm and endoderm enables organotypic vascularization in lung and gut organoids
Recapitulating the concurrent development of germ layers through the co-differentiation of mesoderm and endoderm within a single spheroid enabled the generation of vascularized lung and intestinal organoids, revealing how the microenvironment guides the development of organotypic endothelial and mesenchymal cells.

Today, on ‘Be Open about Animal Research Day’, we spotlight how research with zebrafish brings us closer to healthier hearts. #BOARD25
Sharing about 80% of heart disease–causing genes with humans, the zebrafish is an excellent model to study how hearts develop, become diseased and might regenerate.
