An aptly titled paper shows, for the first time, the significance of heterogeneities of gene expression in the construction of complex systems : fate decisions are group decisions. Previously @biorxivpreprint

1/ Our paper, “Enhancer binding kinetics explain transcription factor hub formation,” is now published! Here we set out to understand why transcription factors form bright clusters or “hubs” in the nucleus, and whether those hubs actually control gene activity.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. This video shows a group of neural crest cells (🟣) remodelling a mesh of fibronectin matrix (🔵). This is part of a biorxiv paper showing the reciprocal relationship between NC and neural tube morphogenesis.

#Macrophages are mechanosensitive cells. They respond to mechanical signalling from the surrounding tissue, such as during fibrosis. In this review, the authors discuss the significance of the macrophage-fibroblast communication in a profibrotic niche. #immune

How do long-lived multipotent stem cells cope with mechanical stress in vivo?

We found that neural crest cells are protected from mechanical stress during migration in confined tissue environment.

❤️ that the #NobelPrize brought the spotlight to #optogenetics. We use the same technique to study how cells move during development, like in this beautiful study by the Solnica-Krezel lab where they show mesoderm can influence endoderm convergent extension in 🐟!

Woah, such an invaluable resource! You can use this for your lectures too and can make a good resource for students! 🙌

An interdisciplinary #embryology book is out as #OER: @ecampusontario.bsky.social ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/principlesof... A teamwork turned raw lecture recordings into a colloquial writeup. Please pass any feedback & critiques! @isdb.bsky.social @swedbo.bsky.social @socdevbio.bsky.social 🧪🔬

Are #cilia still hot or ... 👀? Maybe it's time to learn how they are formed! This review by the Pereira lab discusses the structural composition of the distal appendages, how they form the cilia, and how they are regulated in cell cycle and in diseases! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Great new study from @knoblich-lab.bsky.social, led by @saku-wong.bsky.social, showing that
human cerebral organoids cultured for over six months can recapitulate postnatal interneuron migration 🧪🧬🧫🧠

Why does the same virus kill one host and spare another? The key is lung imprinting from a previous parasitic infection. Our new study @nature.com offers answers + critical mechanisms! Immense thanks to @KamalmKhanna and our collaborators. 🧵 #Diseasetolerance #NAMs

Regenerated fish retinas are similar to undamaged retinas, but display local patterning errors in comparison with undamaged retinas; new models could test their functionality recovery.

By Deborah L. Stenkamp

doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2026.07.009

Examples of lamination and topographical patterning outcomes for regenerated fish retinas. A. Laminar fusions and rosettes can form in retina regenerated after a high dose ouabain lesion (=Extensive). Left panel shows blue-sensitive cones (red fluorescence), PKCα+ bipolar cells (green fluorescence) and nuclei (DAPI, blue fluorescence) in control retinal cryosection. Middle panel shows lamination, with some errors (LF = laminar fusion), of retina regenerated 45 dpi (days post-injury). Scale bar = 50 μm. Right panel shows red- and green-sensitive cones (red fluorescence, Zpr-1+) in retina regenerated 100 dpi (R = rosette). Scale bar = 25 μm.  ONL, outer nuclear layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; IPL, inner plexiform layer; s4-6 refers to sublaminae in IPL. B. Local patterns of cones are not restored in retina regenerated after a light lesion. Left panel shows cartoon of cone mosaic organization in zebrafish retina; colors of profiles roughly correspond to λmax of cone subtype. Middle panel shows arrangement of blue-sensitive cones (dark blue color product) in undamaged whole mounted zebrafish retina subjected to in situ hybridization. Right panel shows blue-sensitive cone arrangement in retina regenerated after light lesion. Scale bar = 25 μm. C. Topography of red-sensitive cones (LWS cones) in retina regenerated after high dose ouabain lesion. Left two panels show whole mounted undamaged control retina (Con), and contralateral regenerated retina (Reg), with fluorescent reporters for lws1 (green) and lws2 (magenta). Scale bars = 500 μm. Right two panels show closer views of lws1-reporter + mosaic only in control (Con) and regenerated (Reg) retina. Scale bar = 10 μm. D, dorsal; V, ventral; N, nasal; T, temporal.
