Excited to share our new manuscript! Why do people with Bosma #arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (BAMS) not form noses? We show that #iPSCs from these patients are less able to form cranial placode cells, one of the cell types that make up the nose. www.cell.com/stem-cell-re...

Cranial placode differentiation defect in individuals born without a nose

Xue and colleagues show that iPSCs from Bosma syndrome (BAMS) individuals have a reduced capacity of differentiation into cranial placode cells and the subsequent lens and olfactory lineages. These ce...

Very sad news. Gail Martin (1944-2026) was a figure in developmental biology. She pioneered the field of ES cells. A great colleague, a friend and a lovely person.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Thank you lab for the #TeachersDay card! I'm super impressed with the drawing. There's a fish in the flask! What is this experiment?! I hope all of you learn lots of things in your time here and may all your experiments work 😊

The 11th Strategic Conference of #Zebrafish Investigators (SCZI) organized by @izfs.bsky.social will be held in Singapore, January 14-17 2026. This meeting is held for the first time in Asia-Pacific. Fish PIs, escape your winters and come hang out with us in the tropics!

Most drug discovery efforts for #FSHD target #DUX4 RNA or protein. We reviewed its upstream regulation. Epigenetic regulation of DUX4: From embryogenesis to muscular degeneration. sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Interesting talk from @miskalab.bsky.social . Why do some animals (and plants) receive RNA from the environment? Why don't humans have the ability? Would make #RNA delivery a lot easier if we can just eat it and it gets into our cells.

Congratulations to IMCB on its 40th anniversary! To more discoveries, innovations, talents and impact in the next 40 years. #astar

Occasionally I go stare in awe at our rich tropical #biodiversity. Here are some animals we found today in the intertidal zone. Sand dollar, many hermit crabs, anemone, starfish (photo by Ajay), jellyfish (not pictured).

Today is Rare Disease Day and it’s a day to raise awareness for the 300 Million people in the world with over 6000 rare diseases. If you or a loved one have a rare disease write it in the comments and make it seen. #RareDisease #RareDiseaseDay

Happy Chinese New Year! Lo-hei with the lab. It's a tradition to mix this salad together as a group. Brings good luck for the year! Also, my first post on bluesky. I heard this is where the cool scientists hang out now. #CNY
