Paper alert! 📢 Our paper, “Fog signaling is dispensable for Drosophila trachea invagination,” has been accepted in @devbiol.bsky.social! Huge credit to first author @vvishakha.bsky.social (now a postdoc at the NIH). An uncorrected proof is here: doi.org/10.1016/j.yd...

Our new paper, “Organization of the apical extracellular matrix during tubular organ formation”, has been published in @elife.bsky.social! elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

It's been a long time coming and I'm super excited to share our new preprint is out: "A novel transgenic reporter to study vertebrate epigenetics". We generated a zebrafish epigenetic reporter and found a fatty liver disease mutant with weird epigenetic phenotypes 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We recently described the Axillary Lymphoid Organ (ALO) in the #Zebrafish. It's on the OUTSIDE of the fish, making it great for imaging! Learn more by checking out our paper in @jem.org rupress.org/jem/article-...

Special congrats to NIH Senior Investigator Brant Weinstein, Ph.D., who was named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Weinstein was honored for his contributions to vascular biology. Learn more at go.nih.gov/sl2B1ka. #zebrafish @izfs.bsky.social

Cells are full of protein machines. Most don’t act alone, but instead form part of larger multiprotein complexes. For example, epithelial tissues & organs assemble by virtue of the multiprotein machines mediating cell-cell adhesion or adhesion of cells to the underlying extracellular matrix 1/n 🧪

Please spread the word! We are looking for postdoc(s) interested in quantitative problems in Development and Regeneration. Previous experience in quantitative biology is not required. We will support you and provide a great training environment if you are committed to learn new things.

Building the body of an embryo or maintaining tissues in adults rely on cell migration. From neural crest cells leaving the neural tube to form our peripheral nervous system to migrating lateral line cells in a zebrafish to skin cells migrating to repair wounds, its key 1/n youtu.be/IqUs29Kz3HE?...

No such thing as a standard career path - a new careers interview series We chatted to several #DevBio scientists who've had vastly different career trajectories. We hope whichever career stage you're at and whatever journey you're embarking on, these stories show that many valid career paths exist

#ZebrafishFunFacts: Did you know the popular WT strain 'AB' originated from a mating between strain A & strain B purchased by Charline Walker on two separate occasions from a pet shop in Albany, Oregon? This helped transform #zebrafish from household pet to a model of human disease & development. 🧪

Happy to see our first preprint out about human meninges! Excited about the fast progress and impact of the field. Here some little extra protein labeling (layers not perfectly scaled to each other) that didnt make it into the paper www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Are you an #ECR who would like to attend a #microscopy or #bioimageanalysis training course in the next ~6 months but don't have sufficient funding, check to see if you are eligible for our JCS-FocalPlane Training Grant. Next deadline: 22 November 2024 www.biologists.com/grants/jcs-f...

#ZebrafishFunFacts: While Kimmel et al. (1995) famously standardized the embryonic development of #zebrafish, Parichy et al. (2009) takes it one step further with characterizing postembryonic zebrafish. They establish Standard Length (SL) as measure of developmental progress rather than age. 🧪
