Idenken Cherry this morning. We will have open campus tomorrow.
In #GENETICS, @uncnondpy.bsky.social et al. present a comprehensive mapping of genetic interactions among all #Celegans Wnt and its receptor genes, identifying how these interactions regulate the polarity of asymmetrically dividing stem cells. buff.ly/WIUus96

Differential functions of multiple Wnts and receptors in cell polarity regulation in C. elegans
Abstract. Metazoan species possess multiple Wnt ligands and receptor genes that regulate diverse developmental processes. Because these genes often act red

HItoshi Sawa@uncnondpy.bsky.social · 10mo agoIn worms, polarity of somatic cells are controlled by 3 Wnt and 3 receptors. We comprehensively combined their mutations to uncover their specific functions.We also showed that Wnts have both instructive and permissive functions to control cell polarity orientation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New paper from the lab! Many animal cells exhibit chiral cell surface dynamics, which are proposed to drive left–right asymmetric patterning. However, the molecular mechanisms linking these events remain unclear. authors.elsevier.com/a/1l%7E7B3QW...

Very sad news, John Gurdon has died. A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio. An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers www.magd.cam.ac.uk/news/profess...
Professor Sir John Gurdon FRS (1933-2025) | Magdalene College
Magdalene College is deeply saddened to announce the death of Professor Sir John Gurdon FRS, who served as Master of the College from 1995 to 2002.

Congratulation for the grand prize! #worm25 Art Show
Samal Tazhibayeva@samal-tjb.bsky.social · last yr.As it’s my first time joining Worm Meeting, I was excited to participate in Worm Art show as well. This year’s topic is resilience. In times of scarcity, worms gather holding one another to reach new grounds. Alone - they are fragile, together - they rise. Even the sky yields in unity. #worm25

Our Institute preserve >200 cherry species. We have open house today.
Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Homepage - openRxiv
openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

Here’s a story about actual Nazis, the Original Gastruloid, and the lengths scientists will go for other scientists and for science itself. Welcome to Episode Two of the #LongBibliography #DevBiol #SciHist 🧵. 1/13
I am thrilled that our paper, which is packed with our 10 years of data on the venom proteins of the parasitoid wasp Asobara japonica, has just been published! Parasitoid wasp venoms degrade Drosophila imaginal discs for successful parasitism | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Parasitoid wasp venoms degrade Drosophila imaginal discs for successful parasitism
Two parasitoid wasp venom proteins induce imaginal disc degradation of its host fly Drosophila larva, ensuring parasitism success.
