Our most recent study shows that stem cells in Schmidtea mediterranea do not rely on physical contacts or fixed structures to maintain their identity and regenerative potential.

💭Transitioning to independence isn’t only a Latinx concern!

One key takeaway from our workshop at ICDB in Puerto Rico: this is a shared challenge across the field. @socdevbio.bsky.social

Proud of the diversity — celebrating Latinx representation, gender balance, and early career voices in Dev Bio!
