#2 Close collaboration with @rocha-lab.bsky.social across institutes. @catfigueiredo.bsky.social shows that neurogenic progenitors in the developing retina can respond to cell death with an unexpected self-renewing division. I am sure Mauricio has more to say :-). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Apoptosis-induced self-renewal of neurogenic progenitors safeguards retinal development against extensive cell loss

Developing embryos have a striking ability to buffer external and internal perturbations. A key example of this phenomenon across developing systems is successful organ formation even after substantia...

Neutrophils are my favourite immune cells, this new study brings a new amazement about these cells!! Could this be happening in more species?

Syd Sattler@sydsat.bsky.social · last mo.

What if an embryo made immune cells before it finished building the tissue they usually come from? In our new preprint, we show that annual killifish embryos specify neutrophils before germ layers are fully resolved. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Huge thanks to my PI, @ohnolog.bsky.social ! 🧵

Let me post a spicy take here: most people don't read or cite other model organisms' work. Because of this, they keep rediscovering things and, most importantly, re-writing the timeline in favor of fewer and fewer models. That, plus an artificial limit of citations per paper equals this 🧪

An analysis of published papers on eight widely studied “model” organisms suggests work on them is fading, but not everyone is worried. https://scim.ag/3PaOvIs

I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language? Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries. So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together. zenodot.app
