In preprints – reading a cell in two tenses: the proteome holds the present, the transcriptome points to the future

Roshana Thambyrajah discusses a preprint by @mannlab.bsky.social & co, showing that the most complete picture of cellular identity may come from reading RNA and protein together.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday.
Single immune cell migration is fascinating. But these cells can also behave like a coordinated collective, like 🐝 from a hive. I captured some embryonic myeloid cells (🔴) displaying swarming behaviour in a migrating ectoderm cell sheet (🔵), like neutrophils in our body!

🧬 New research in Nature Cell Biology reveals how tissue flow helps guide immune cell migration and polarity. Congrats to Hoang Anh Le, Jonas Hartmann, Ricard Alert and collaborators! 👏🔬 #CellBiology #Immunology

Tongue-tied? Maybe tentacle-tied! 🪼🪢🪼 These larval comb jellies (cydippids) got all tangled up after going for the same piece of food (now white debris in the middle of aggregate) 🤦‍♂️ Don’t worry though! It’s nothing a transfer pipette can’t solve 😊 #scicomm #mneniopsis #ctenophore #MarineLife

Our collaborative paper on snake coiling is now out in the latest issue of @currentbiology.bsky.social and featured on the cover! 🎉 Delighted to see our work highlighted this way. You can read it here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1ni9h3QW8S...

Welcome to #SLS26 by symposium coordinators @robinsonsci.bsky.social and Neha Bhatia

How is proliferation modulated in regeneration for tissues to reach their right size? We found that, in zebrafish scales, proliferation is shut down by a moving front of osteoblast maturation. The front's dynamics scale with tissue size, ensuring proper osteoblast amplification. tinyurl.com/5e45twx3

I am thrilled to attend the Stem Cell & #DevBio Early Career Symposium in Seattle! Nothing is more inspiring than seeing the next generation of researchers showcase their science and shape the field's future (especially during #PostdocAppreciationWeek)! Hope to meet & connect with many of you there!

The Stem Cell & Developmental Biology Early Career Symposium will be held at @alleninstitute.org from 23-25 September.

@the-node.bsky.social Community Manager @andreamurillo.bsky.social will be there - be sure to say hello and chat with Andrea.

🎉Preprint out! In our new manuscript, we reveal that, much like us, wake up (proliferation) and sleeping (quiescence) patterns of adult neural stem cells are controlled by the circadian clock machinery. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
