Friends! I am so happy to share our new preprint! Hydrogen peroxide has been the most common reactive chemical threat to life forms since the Great Oxygenation Event 2.5 billion years ago. How do animals like C. elegans sense it fast and escape? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Thread 1/
Our new paper reveals critical new regulators of stem cell differentiation that control where the right kinds of cells are made in planarians. In particular, we find Anosmin—a gene responsible for Kallmann Syndrome—as a restrictor of neurogenesis. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #basicresearch
Soon you’ll be able to read an updated version of our paper at Nature Communications! Congratulations to all the authors for all of their hard work. @kuangtse.bsky.social @evodevo-tw.bsky.social and others not on the socials!
