Struggling for something to do in a TWO DAY gap without ⚽? How about trying our pre-release of napari 0.8.0? napari.org/dev/release/... Of note, this release drops Py3.10 support and deprecates PyQt5 in favor of PyQt6. It also adds some neat new features and improvements! See below: 👇

Delighted to share our latest preprint "NucleiSky enables cross-scale multimodal registration of microscopy data using nuclei constellations" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Code and App: github.com/CellMigratio...

New preprint! Another piece from @gaparicio.bsky.social thesis, now exploring the role of PALS1 (aka Nok, or MPP5) in lamination and photoreceptor progenitors positioning in the developing zebrafish retina and retinal organoids: tinyurl.com/yya754tf

Reduction of PALS1/Nok disrupts retinal lamination through altered cell positioning while preserving photoreceptor self-organization capacity

The vertebrate neural retina is composed of several neuronal types that precisely organize into layers, with photoreceptors facing the outer surface and the projection neurons, retinal ganglion cells,...

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. This stunning light sheet video of a 🪰 embryo was taken by a student from our 2026 EMBO course in Quintay. If you'd like a chance to learn and take images like this, consider apply: biodesarrollo.unab.cl/how-to-apply ‼️Deadline for the 2027 course is 30th July 2026‼️

Meet Eyewire II: a new connectomic resource for the mouse retina. ~1 mm² of retina at nanometer resolution, with synapses and circuits of ca. 100,000 neurons, plus visual responses from the ~400 neurons shown in the video! Preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202... Data: eyewire.ai 🧠📈 🧠💻🧪 #VisionScience

Spinal motor neurons in dazzling detail. ✨🧠 Each green dot is a spinal motor neuron - crucial but rare cells making up just 1% of spinal cord neurons. In diseases like #ALS, they are selectively damaged, making them of special interest to neuroscientists. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4anj19z #SciShots

A session about how much information is transferred from sperm to the offsprings in a form of RNA was mind blowing 🤯 so cool! #EED2026

Yesterday marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Miles Davis. A little over a decade ago, Mark's passion for jazz developed into one of our all-time favorite projects: Scaled in Miles.

New evo-devo textbook 'Eco-Evo-Devo: The Environmental Regulation of Development, Evolution, and Health' 📗In this post on the Node, Scott F. Gilbert announces a new eco-evo-devo textbook. ⬇️ thenode.biologists.com/new-evo-devo... #DevBio

🏆 Announcing the winners of our Open Access Publishing Program! Congrats to Daniela de Laet Souza & Rafael Fort, who were awarded full APC waivers to publish OA in Sci Reports (@natureportfolio.nature.com) & @peerj.bsky.social, which will help them communicate their work to a wider audience.

@pel.bsky.social whoa what was that??

Do you work with #zebrafish? Wanting a budget-friendly housing system capable of thermal control and filtration? Perhaps you just set up your lab and are looking for a short term solution? Then ZebRack designed by the Valdivia lab might pique of your interest? Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...

This is the most detailed 3D rendering of a eukaryotic cell to date, obtained using X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy datasets. 🔬🧪

We have launched a call for the renewal of the Society’s logo, and we invite developmental biologists working in Latin America, as well as Latin American developmental biologists working abroad, to participate in this contest. More information at lasdb-development.org/pages/news.h...

On April 19, 1898, Camillo Golgi first described what we now call the Golgi apparatus - a structure so striking and unusual that it took more than 50 years for scientists to accept it wasn’t just an artefact. April 19 is #GolgiDay! Celebrate the cell’s most iconic and best organelle.

Witness breathtaking drone footage capturing the fiery heart of a volcanic eruption. A new era of vulcanology is here, revealing nature's power like never before.

Hi all! 👋 Looking for a plasmid with the gnrh3 promoter driving a FP (GFP or similar) 🐟 The construct itself — not a transgenic fish line. Does anyone have it or know a lab that does? 🙏 #zebrafish #GnRH #neurodev #AcademicSky #developmentalBiology #neuroscience

Here are some cute little wild zebrafish that we found in Nepal! 🧪🐟
