🐸Do salamanders need adaptive immunity to regenerate limbs and tails? 🐸 Nope! 🚨Check out back-to-back pre-prints from PhD student in our lab Chimezie (tinyurl.com/42wst3bh) and from our collaborators the Max Yun lab (tinyurl.com/b92rzwzr)
Beautiful work!
Leo Otsuki@leootsuki.bsky.social · last yr.Delighted that our work on positional memory is now published. We asked how axolotl cells 'know' which part of the limb to regenerate after injury. www.nature.com/articles/s41... A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura, Francisco Falcon and Elly Tanaka. 🧵1/14
“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W
Worth reading!
Tatiana Sandoval Guzmán@tatianasg.bsky.social · last yr.It has been known for a long time that if the starting point of limb regeneration is at the hand level or close to the shoulder, it would take about the same time to regenerate. Puzzling right? Check out this preprint from our lab to know more about it: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
If you think it’s time to move, stay tuned. This is a good opportunity. www.vr.se/aktuellt/nyh...

Super interesting paper on gene transfer from somatic to germline cells bsky.app/profile/maya...
Maya Voichek@mayavoichek.bsky.social · last yr.1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬 But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯 Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A #Pleurodeles on the cover. Interested in this #giantgenome, #salamander #regeneration, #noncodingRNA landscape? Pls check out: www.cell.com/cell-genomic.... Many great labs involved, special thanks to co-senior authors @maxyunlab.bsky.social, and @niche-leigh.bsky.social
Universities need to make it crystal clear to parents that cuts to HHS will result in serious tuition hikes just to mitigate the immediate budget shortfalls while they fire employees and scale back research to adapt.
We are grateful to @isrbio.bsky.social for their support of the ReBilD course @mdibiolab.bsky.social. mdibl.org/course/rebil... Please RT. 🙌
Hello, Bluesky! ☀️ We fund frontier research in Europe—bold ideas, unexpected discoveries and science that shapes the future. So it’s only fitting we’ve landed here. Sorry for being late. Follow us for updates on ERC funding, research policy, and our grantees' discoveries.
Please consider nominating a colleague.

Chromosome-scale genome assembly reveals how repeat elements shape non-coding RNA landscapes active during newt limb regeneration
Understanding molecular mechanisms behind newts’ exceptional regenerative capability has been limited because of their large, repeat-element-rich genome. Brown et al. present the most complete chromos...
