Check this great collaborative work with @Osvaldo_Chara, now out!
Cells in a regenerating axolotl limb somehow know their place—but how? In our new paper, we trace the dynamics of positional memory, release open-source code to quantify it, and introduce a theoretical framework for proximalisation. 🧵👇 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4159… (1/n)
Very much looking forward to speaking #AVIHM2025 tomorrow

Only two more days to apply to the PhD studentship in our lab. Come work with us!
We have a PhD studentship @UNION_042024 @InflamAge_UoB available for start in the autumn of 2025. We are looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious candidate to develop machine learning methods for drug repurposing in ageing and frailty. Applications are open to international…

Unexpected gifts from students are always heartwarming, thanks @GeorgiiVdovin!

Thanks Lenka Gahurova and @Dev_journal for highlighting our latest preprint with @prof_horvath Yuliia Haluza @jazoller14 @akelu38 journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…
Registration for the ISRB Madison Conference is now open. Early bird registration ends June 15th so don't delay. We also have a pre-meeting workshop for trainees. Hope to see you all in Madison!
Scientists, please share!🔬 Explore living systems through a physics lens! The #Biophysics MSc at the CMCB will open for applications on 1st April. 🗓️ Taught entirely in English, with no tuition fees! Learn more: physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/career-educati… #Biophysics #Masters #MSc #FreeTuition

Paper alert🐟! Thrilled to share that our latest study “BMP signaling promotes zebrafish heart regeneration via alleviation of replication stress” nature.com/articles/s4146… is now live in @NatureComms. We show how BMP alleviates this stress via a conserved mechanism in mammals🐭
Using @PacBio HiFi and @ArimaGenomics Hi-C technologies, we assembled the 20Gb genome into a highly-contiguous assembly, allowing thorough investigation of the genetic drivers behind the amazing regenerative capabilities of Pleurodeles waltl @MaxYunLab
Hello early researchers! Interesting in doing a PhD in senescence, ageing and cancer. We have an open position in our lab in Spain! Please retweet or reach out if interested!
And the newt genome is finally out! cell.com/cell-genomics/… Thanks to Simon and Leigh labs for an amazing collab, and specially @tbrown91 for great assembly skills. @DcGenomeCenter @CRTDpress @mpicbg @PoLDresden @karolinskainst
The most mind-blowing preprint was the discovery of epigenetic clocks in the axolotl that tick early in life but not for the rest of their lifespan. Another fascinating work by @prof_horvath and @MaxYunLab 🤯 3/4 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
