📢We are delighted to announce that the Beatson International Cancer Conference, "Cancer Models: from Data to Discovery" will take place on Tuesday 27th - Thursday 29th May 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland! Follow us here to get the latest conference updates! #BICC2025

Congratulations to Denis Duboule Denis Duboule for being awarded the 2025 ISDB Harrison Medal for his contributions to the understanding of gene regulation, particularly the Hox gene family, and their spatial collinearity in vertebrates 🎉🎉🏅 developmental-biology.org/news/2025-winn…

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. This week, we are treated with this stunning video of cranial neural crest cells migrating in a zebrafish embryo by postdoc Jonas Hartmann UCL Research Dept of Cell & Developmental Biology. Also, check out his new paper describing a new concept called Core & Periphery: doi.org/10.1016/j.cels…

Spotlight: Laura Machesky Laura Machesky Cambridge Biochemistry highlights work from Dave Sherwood group (hubs.la/Q02RwBM50) that shows a new role for de novo lipid synthesis and prenylation polarization in invasive protrusion construction. hubs.la/Q02RwsT50

Fully funded PhD studentships KCL MRC DTP now open! Joint project available with @DarrenWilliamsLab on mechanisms controlling the mechanical properties of the central nervous system. kcl-mrcdtp.com/project/the-ex… #MRCDTP25

Another week celebrating #FluorescenceFriday with this beautiful montage of zebrafish embryos stained for DAPI and neural crest cells at 3 different stages: 10, 17, and 26 somites taken by a talented PhD student Zimeng Wu and postdoc Jonas Hartmann.

So, this afternoon I got home to find a lovely letter from NORTHERN 🚆 telling me about how they wanted to prosecute me for using the below ticket to travel on the specified route at a peak time. I paid £1.90 less than the fare they say I should have paid. A thread 🧵

This week on #FluorescenceFriday, we're going back to cell biology. The cells on the right-hand side are being stretched vertically, and look at how their microtubules (labeled with CLIP170-GFP) align along the same stretching axis. Left is the control. doi.org/10.1016/j.cdev…

🪰🔬🦠Happy starting my "Cell immigration" lab at fantastic Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center!! #microscopy, #modelling #Drosophila #organoids. Looking for postdocs, students - come join us🫐 here in NYC mskcc.org/research/ski/l…

I only just learned the news that David Stephens has passed away. I'm in shock. David taught me microscopy and cell biology. His teaching has stuck with me ever since and contributed so much to who I am. I told him this when I met him again a few years back. RIP.

"Secreted exosomes induce filopodia formation" is now online at eLife". This work elucidates a major extracellular signal that induces filopodia and downstream cancer invasion and synapse formation. Congratulations to the authors! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal

Our new JCB paper is now online: CYRI acts as a molecular brake in wound healing: doi.org/10.1083/jcb.20…

Rötte, Höhne et al. Bogdan Lab Philipps-Universität highlight an important role of CYRI as a molecular brake on Rac-WRC-Arp2/3 pathway to slow down epidermal wound closure and to limit invasive collective epithelial cell #migration. hubs.la/Q02VSpJ-0 #Development #motility

CYRI's role in wound healing. One of the questions I've always wondered. Check out this new article here.

Fully funded PhD project in collaboration with Anestis Tsakiridis!! Get in touch if you need further information. Application deadline 13th December Molecular and Cellular Biology Science at Sheffield Sheffield Cancer Research

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. Here is one super interesting video of quail skin explant showing an expansion of the vasculature within the growing feather buds over 2 days. I've never seen such a thing. You can read more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cdev…

I've decided to create a Blue Sky account. I just hope this platform will be a stable and safe one for us scientists. Masterdon just wasn't it. Twitter has helped me so much before it turned into a pile of shit. My handle on Blue Skye is the same: AnhHLe2702.bsky.social

We've finally made the move to the other good place BlueSky. Please find us over there at ISDB.bsky.social. We'll continue to operate here but will start putting more effort into running our BlueSky account to slowly make the transition with the scientific community!

We've moved over to BlueSky. You can find us at cellsdev.bsky.social. We'll continue to operate here but will slowly make the transition to our BlueSky account with the scientific community. Please find me there and let's build our community again.

The Gordon Research Conference and the accompanying Gordon Research Seminar for ECRs in Developmental Biology 2025 are now open for registration. The deadline for abstract submission is 20th January. You can check out the general program here: grc.org/developmental-…
