ποΈNext week, we drop a special live recording from the @alleninstitute.org!
We invited two guests to discuss realities they face as early career researchers.
Dr. Crystal Rogers (@rogerslabucd.bsky.social): https://bit.ly/46Lny3u
Dr. Ariel Waisman (@waisman-ar.bsky.social): https://bit.ly/4hNKlBS
π£ The next episode is out!
Tune into our conversation with Dr. Lika Drakhlis at Hannover Medical School to learn all about how her lab uses hPSCs to develop complex, multi-tissue #organoids that model the co-development of the heart, vasculature, and foregut. π§«

π Stay tuned for next week's episode featuring Dr. Lika Drakhlis at Hannover Medical School!
The Drakhlis lab focuses on hPSC-derived heart-forming #organoids, which model heart, vasculature and foregut co-development. π
Check out their latest work: https://go.nature.com/4y98zfY
The HippoβIGF2 signaling pathway was found to control organ growth and liver #regeneration, with IGF2 restoring impaired regenerative capacity in aged mice. π

π€© Hope you're excited for our next guest, Dr. Yonatan Stelzer at @weizmann.ac.il!
The Stelzer Lab investigates how cell fate and identity are established during #embryonic development using single-cell and epigenomic approaches. π§«
Check out his latest work: https://bit.ly/3UsGAsB
Scientists with @katecavanaugh.bsky.social in the Weiner Lab at UCSF found that reproductive aging increases #embryo contractility and alters tissue mechanics, reducing successful embryo implantation.π«
