nature.com/articles/s4158… Wow! 1,700 transgenic mice for the most comprehensive enhancer characterization ever. Leo and Axel never cease to amaze!

New from the lab! Announcing MORPHOVIEW a powerful tool to quantify in high throughput the 3D structures of cells and tissues during organ morphogenesis. Great work by Sam Norris. 🧪 anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dv…

#onlywithHCR: Hearing the Genes Sing—Transcriptomic Disruption in the Songbird Brain Using songbird courtship song as a model, Colquitt et al. mapped how the loss of auditory feedback destabilizes learned motor behaviors. With #HCRtechnology, they were able to observe the…

Our paper is out! We show how the extracellular matrix guides body axis formation in mouse—and possibly human—embryos during early pregnancy. Grateful to @ZernickaGoetz @MZG_Lab for the chance to work with mouse, human, and stem cell–derived embryo models. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Oh! Another paper! Cool! From Camille Bader's PhD, with @HoussayeCnrs Alexandra Houssaye. Elephant limb bone microanatomy reflects bone function and posture. Tons of CT scan DICOM files: figshare.com/.../Elephant_l… Paper: academic.oup.com/.../articl.../…

Researchers extended fascicle-tracking algorithms to chick embryos, capturing high-res data from first contractions. Despite minor artifacts in small muscles results match manual segmentation, useful for studying early muscle–bone interactions Molnar et al anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar…

Spatial biology is moving quickly and offers much to be excited about. But there is still a big learning curve. Especially with analysis. If you are a scientist new to spatial techniques, how do you actually analyze your data? A concrete tutorial from prep to insight follows:

NEW WORK INCLUDING PORTUGUESE SAUROPODS !!! By my teammate André Saleiro and his advisor Emanuel Tschopp among others! 🦕 #Lourinhã #FossilFriday nature.com/articles/s4155…

DNA predicted faces of archaic humans differ more from those of Europeans than from Africans. In genetically modelled Neanderthal faces, 15 of 16 DNA-predicted facial features are in line with skull evidence. nature.com/articles/s4146…

🧵1/ 🚨 New tool for reproductive biology! We generated a Nr2f2-iCreERT2 mouse—an inducible Cre model that specifically targets interstitial cells in both male and female gonads. Read more in our new @biolreprod paper: 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/biolre…

Neil Shubin, a University of Chicago researcher known for co-discovering a ′missing link’ fossil fish, will lead the National Academy of Sciences if ratified by members go.nature.com/40lw1HX

The NAS Council has approved the nomination of Neil H. Shubin to be the next president of the National Academy of Sciences. An evolutionary biologist & science communicator, Shubin would succeed Marcia McNutt when her term ends on June 30, 2026. Read more: nasonline.org/news/neil-h-sh…
