New preprint from the lab is out! Dll4 and Jag1a aren't opposing Notch signals in blood stem cell formation — they are required sequentially to push hemogenic endothelium fate and to make HSPCs . Great collab with @gunawanlab.bsky.social @dorotheeb.bsky.social 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Dll4 and Jag1a signalling act sequentially and cooperatively to drive hematopoietic stem cell fate specification

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) arise from a specialized subset of arterial endothelial cells, the hemogenic endothelium (HE), during embryonic development and sustain blood production...

Model organisms, in particular non-mammalian model organisms, such as yeast, Caenorhabditis elegans, #Drosophila and zebrafish, have long stood at the centre of biological discovery www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Reaffirming the value of model organisms in training scientific minds - Nature Cell Biology

As biomedical research prioritizes human models and translational promise, classic model organisms are increasingly dismissed. Here we argue that they have a lasting value, both in enabling discovery and in cultivating scientific thinking, by training researchers in systems reasoning, integrative thinking and independent inquiry.
