Bresteau et al. report that apical size reduction via macropinocytosis serves as a malleable and less destructive form of tissue remodeling that can alleviate the need for cell loss. xenbase.org/xenbase/doNews… #science #devbio #xenopus #frogs
Super excited that our paper is out. It describes a new mechanism for dealing with tissue crowding that does not involve cell extrusion. nature.com/articles/s4146…
I was really happy to meet Bailey Weatherbee, postdoc @CincyChildrens 20th Intl Congress Dev Biol because she is a Filipino American developmental biologist, like me. With Maple Adkins-Threats! @SocDevBio
I was really happy to meet Mackenzie Fernandez, grad student @USC @CSHL Mouse course because she is a Filipino American developmental biologist, like me! She is studying bone fracture repair. @SocDevBio
New preprint🚨! Insertion of basal progenitors into an epithelium contributes to tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis. In this work, we study the role of intracellular calcium in multiciliated cell epithelial integration during Xenopus skin development. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Apollo 11 lifted off July 16, 1969, to begin its history-making journey. Hundreds of millions of people around the world watched over the next days as Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins accomplished the goal of landing a man on the Moon by the end of the decade.
With HCR™ Pro, we’re redefining what’s possible for RNA detection – delivering ultra-sensitive detection ideal for low-abundance targets or highly autofluorescent samples. In this case study, Dr. Douglas Houston from the University of Iowa used HCR™ Pro to reveal clear…

Finding commonality in autism and congenital heart disease Read this Research Highlight showcasing work from Nia Teerikorpi, Tomasz Nowakowski @labnowakowski, Jeremy Willsey @WillseyLab, Helen Rankin Willsey @goodfrognosis & co @UCSFPsychiatry @UCSF: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…
Our work on ciliary biology at the interface of autism and congenital heart disease genetics is now published open access at Development. Thanks to the editor and reviewers for the improvements. Great collaboration with @LabNowakowski and @WillseyLab @UCSF @UCSFPsychiatry
The James Webb Space Telescope detected dimethyl sulfide in its atmosphere (on Earth that comes from marine microorganisms). K2-18b is potentially habitable super-Earth about 2.6 times the size of our planet. It is located 124 light-years from the Solar System.
1989, Science Magazine named Taq polymerase its first "Molecule of the Year" isolated from Yellow Stone National Park for which Kary Mullis received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The Discovery of PCR process.🧬 Taq polymerase from thermophiles Thermus aquaticus 🧫
