❕The @leeboratory.bsky.social seeks a new Master's student! Your 🫵 project will involve stem cell culture, genome engineering as well as molecular biology. It aims at elucidating the genetic circuitries that regulate cell fate decisions in the early mammalian embryo ➡️ tinyurl.com/4awtk2n3

Delighted that our work on positional memory is now published. We asked how axolotl cells 'know' which part of the limb to regenerate after injury.

A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura, Francisco Falcon and Elly Tanaka.

Reminder: deadline to apply for the Stem Cell Summer School is 30th May. And it's May already! So you have to apply this month!

A limited number of bursaries are available.

p.s. this year, the summer school coincides with the Spetses Armata Festival, so there will be a big party on the island 🙂
The 2025 European Summer School in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine will take place 12-19 Sept 2025, on the beautiful Greek island of Spetses.

Keep an eye on our website www.stemcellsummerschool.org for updates, or give us a follow 😀

Deadline for applications: 30th May 2025

Can metabolism regulate more than bioenergetics during human development? Our new study says YES! We show that metabolism influences cell fate choice in human naïve pluripotent stem cells, histone acetylation, and trophectoderm maturation. rb.gy/spqr9j

α-Ketoglutarate promotes trophectoderm induction and maturation from naive human embryonic stem cells - Nature Cell Biology
Van Nerum et al. show that dimethyl α-ketoglutarate enhances the production and functional maturation of human trophectoderm-like cells from embryonic stem cells by regulating histone acetyltransferas...

Great paper from the Buecker Lab. Congratulations Henry, Songjie and Christa!
By definition, enhancers can activate from a distance. But with increased distance between enhancer and promoter, the activation drops. To study this systematically, we build a synthetic locus: www.cell.com/molecular-ce... 1/12
