Very happy to see this nice collaboration with @niakanlab.bsky.social bear fruit. Beautiful work by @clairesimon.bsky.social culturing human embryos in the presence of FGF/ERK stimulation/inhibition. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Suppression of ERK signalling promotes pluripotent epiblast in the human blastocyst - Nature Communications

The authors show human embryo lineage specification in the blastocyst is driven by differential FGF/ERK signaling, which segregates yolk sac-fated hypoblast and embryonic epiblast. They establish naïv...

In a thought-provoking @plosbiology.org Perspective article, @briannosek.bsky.social asks whether science’s openness can be used against it, looking at how transparency and self-skepticism might be reframed in today’s discourse around golden standards plos.io/4l8rNuE #OpenScience 🧪

SOX2 and NR2F1 cooperate to make #neurons in the #Thalamus for visual input from the #retina #DevBio journals.biologists.com/bio/article/... ‪ @biologyopen.bsky.social In collab w Sara Mercurio and Silvia Nicolis @btbsunimib.bsky.social Driven by Linda Serra and @annanordin.bsky.social

SOX2 and NR2F1 coordinate the gene expression program of the early postnatal visual thalamus

Summary: The transcriptional regulators SOX2 and NR2F1 drive the development of the visual thalamus. Mutations in these genes cause visual impairment in humans.

Extremely honored to receive this prize from @socdevbio.bsky.social, which recognizes not only my love for developmental biology, but the extremely online I am 🧪 (protect science, protect people, viva la dev bio!)

This is how worm people cast their imaging molds. Consider me (i) jealous and (ii) full of questions #DevBio 🧪

first time I ever hear of freeze-thaw cycles being a good thing for RNA! Very cool!

Phil Holliger@philholliger.bsky.social · last yr.

New paper from my group rdcu.be/eoaRr "Trinucleotide substrates under pH–freeze–thaw cycles enable open-ended exponential RNA replication by a polymerase ribozyme" in Nature Chemistry — great collaboration with attwaterlab.uk.

The further a researcher or inventor moves from their previous work, the less cited their latest work will be https://go.nature.com/44VjEW9

Shifting research focus comes with the risk of reduced impact

An analysis of millions of scientific papers and patents shows that the further a researcher or inventor moves from their previous work, the less cited their latest work will be.
