The talented @isa-ozdemir.bsky.social wrote a review of CHD remodelers, discussing all 9 family members and their roles in ES cells and early development. dx.doi.org/10.1002/bies... 1/2

Nematode towers that you can get to grow in lab using C. elegans. Maybe a new, tractable model system for studying self-organization in the lab. 🧪 "Towering behavior and collective dispersal in Caenorhabditis nematodes" by Perez et al. (2025, Current Biology) www.cell.com/current-biol...

Towering behavior and collective dispersal in Caenorhabditis nematodes

Perez et al. report that self-assembling nematode towers occur in nature and can function as collective dispersal structures. Using Caenorhabditis elegans, they establish a tractable empirical model t...
