Pathway to Independence: a forecast for the future of developmental biology
ABSTRACT. In 2022, Development launched its Pathway to Independence (PI) programme, aimed at supporting postdocs as they transition to their first independent position. In 2025, we welcome our third c...

This exciting study led by @anzymiller.bsky.social is now published! NGN3 oscillations control the timing of differentiation during pancreas development through a fold-change sensitive gene regulatory motif. Congratulations to all authors!
I’m really pleased to share that our paper is out in Developmental Cell! NGN3 oscillates in the developing pancreas and controls the timing of cell differentiation via an incoherent feed-forward motif. For more details check out the comments below and DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2025.06.004

Oscillatory Co-expression of HES1 and HES5 Enables a Hybrid State in a Bistable Transcription Factor Regulatory Motif
Many cell fate decisions in the developing neural tube are directed by cross-repressive transcription factor (TF) motifs that generate bistability, enforcing expression of one dominant TF. However, ev...
