See this? This = implanting mouse embryo. Usually this happens inside its mother and is invisible to us, but we can actually watch implantation ex vivo with the hope of understanding why implantation goes awry in embryos of older women. A 🧵...

Our latest preprint! Into morphogenesis, Yap, ECM, signaling, vertex models, feedbacks/robustness? There is something here for everyone. We discovered a positive feedback loop that extends inner ear canals, and a built-in mechanism that shuts it down when morphogenesis is done. tinyurl.com/464wsjhd

A duo of preprints on the dynamics of the first cell fate decision in mouse by Madeleine Chalifoux (first grad student in the lab!) and Maria Avdeeva (Flatiron). We use quantitative live imaging of key cell fate determinants to follow the segregation of inner cell mass and trophectoderm lineages.

Enhancing Reproducibility Through Bioimage Analysis: The Significance of Effect Sizes and Controls

Bioimage analysis is a powerful tool for investigating complex biological processes, but its robustness depends on both technical precision and rigorous experimental design. In particular, the use of ...

New preprint coming soon, discussing issues around inappropriate use of statistics and controls in #BioImageAnalysis and providing guidelines. But here's a teaser: more data doesn't necessarily mean more information - the law of diminishing returns can kick in surprisingly early.
