Proud to share our new paper in EMBO Reports! 🧬 How does a cell "decide" to become lymphatic vs blood endothelium? Turns out it's not just which genes switch on — it's how the genome folds around them. 💥 link.springer.com/content/pdf/... #Lymphatics #Zebrafish #DevBio #VascularBiology #Genomics

Dr. Jane made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, and also of humankind and the environments we all share. She inspired curiosity, hope, and compassion in countless people, and paved the way for many others. #ThankYouJane #RememberingJane Photo: Marko Zlousic

Cross-posting from LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/kevin-... These are useful (and free!) websites that I found in my search for all things #zebrafish as part of my Bioinformatics Bootcamp. If there’s enough interest, I may do a blog post on the Node. Enjoy!

And just like that we get another #zebrafish surprise ! @pina85.bsky.social work introduces the Inferior Vena Cava vascular remodelling in zebrafish 🦓🐟 Congratulations to all the team for this beautiful story 👏🏻🍾

New study on clonal fate during mouse #embryogenesis using in vivo lineage tracing+ deep learning 🤯👏🏻👏🏻

Igor Adameyko@adameykolab.bsky.social · 2y ago

(1) How can we build complex structures from a limited set of progenitors and cell types? In our new preprint, we describe patterns of cell fate decisions during early development and (in some cases) identify molecular correlates of different behaviors. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Bone remodeling is traditionally driven by osteoblasts and osteoclasts, but our study reveals a third essential player: "Type R capillaries". 🦴🔬😍 Excited to share my PhD work from Ralf H. Adams lab, now published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social Nature Cell Biology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#ZebrafishFunFacts: While Kimmel et al. (1995) famously standardized the embryonic development of #zebrafish, Parichy et al. (2009) takes it one step further with characterizing postembryonic zebrafish. They establish Standard Length (SL) as measure of developmental progress rather than age. 🧪
