🧬 New preprint! We’ve identified core microRNAs that orchestrate neural crest delamination and condensation in chick embryos, key for trigeminal ganglion formation. ✨ Introducing cranial MET-miRNAs into trunk neural crest cells reprograms them to gain cranial-like differentiation potential
Core microRNAs regulate neural crest delamination and condensation in the developing trigeminal ganglion
Cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) undergo dynamic processes during embryonic development, including delamination from the neural tube by epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration to the pe...

Great to meet with old friends in a fantastic meeting! #2025lasdb #2025isdb #2025sdb
The end of conferences are bittersweet. You spend days with folks aimed with the same goals- thinking about science, creating community, making new friends and seeing old friends. But whew- they are also exhausting! 😴 See you in Vegas @socdevbio.bsky.social! Safe travels #2025ICDB attendees!
This won't last long, but if you missed your chance to register, here's another one! If you want the last spot, let me know and I'll save it for you.
Due to a cancellation, we have ONE more slot at the meeting. If you are interested in registering, let us know!
Very nice to see all the Bronner lab members at the GRC!
This paper is now published at @diffjournal.bsky.social! Congratulations to all the hardworking students who made it happen! Shout out to authors 1 & 2! MJ is our “axolotl whisperer” and Raneesh is our computational wizard- both DVM/PhD students @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social! 💫 doi.org/10.1016/j.di...
