Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This is a maximum intensity projection of depth shaded actin (🌈) in a section from an E9.5 🐭 neural tube (NT). 🔬 by postdoc @christinaadaly.bsky.social 👩🔬 🧪 Image shows the floor plate and lumen of the developing NT.

💭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!

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.
