Thrilled to share our latest work from my postdoc with Adam Martin in Developmental Cell ! We uncovered a mechanism linking DV axial patterning with AP axis extension through patterned cell-cell adhesion. Intrigued? Dive into the details here!

Congratulations to Julia and all the co-authors for a beautiful study of how ionocytes develop in response to environmental changes, for example in salt concentration.

I am so happy to see our biorxiv preprint now published in pnas PNASNews. Reverse development in a ctenophore. Joan J. Soto-Angel Michael Sars Centre Universitetet i Bergen pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… #ctenophores

Very happy to share the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)

EXCITED to unroll this 🧵 on our new story on the metabolic licensing of animal development... How did we even get here..? shorturl.at/vuCIh Early embryo is thought of a pre-set machine that's set to go once it's fertilized - check out this gorgeous 📽️from Phil Keller!

🔬✨ New insights into tissue regeneration! Our study uncovers a novel mechanochemical mechanism in Hydra, revealing how mechanical forces and Wnt signaling work together to create intricate tissue patterns. #Cnidarians #Hydra #Biology #Regeneration biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cnidarians are supposed to be diploblastic. In this new ms we show that in the sea anemone Nematostella the interplay of Wnt, MAPK and Notch signaling controls the segregation of endodermal, mesodermal and ectodermal identities. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share my PhD work!🎉 By characterizing and comparing the cells at the aboral end of the planula larva in 3 cnidarian species, we identified shared molecular features and propose a model for settlement regulation in cnidarians 🪼🪸. Clytia group LBDV tinyurl.com/37z2ma2f

Interesting work! 👉 Shifts in embryonic oxygen levels cue heterochrony in limb initiation | bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

EMBL scientists have used sea anemones to study how animals restore their shape following major injuries. Their results show how, in regenerating animals, systemic molecular and cellular changes help in regaining the original shape. embl.org/news/science-t…

“When it rains, it pours” the motto for this semester’s DevBio class on the last day of lab and first snowy day of fall. Amherst College For the love of #development

📣 Looking for a reliable research assistant for the new year! We are at beautiful western Massachusetts and work together with undergraduates on sea anemone embryos. No extensive research experience required. Please share! Thank you Amherst College

🌊🪸 A mesmerizing moment in marine #science! Institute researchers, led by Investigator Gibson Lab & Postdoc Emms, recently captured the stunning moment of successful #coral spawning— follow along as they share insights into this event & their coral #research. 🧵 (1/3)

1/2 Our paper about miRNA target complementarity in Cnidaria is finally published in EMBO Reports! This work was led by the talented Yael Admoni with help from Arie Fridrich, Rubi Aharoni 🦁🇮🇱 in collaboration with the labs of Uri Frank and Michal Rabani embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

1/4 🚨 a brand new biorxiv preprint from the lab! We charcterized both transcriptionally, morphologically and functionally (phagocytosis) immune cells from #Nematostella! We are convinced that our data supports the existence of such specialized cells! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵

We recently uploaded a new preprint exploring the mechanism of organ remodeling during dormancy. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Yuya, a student in my group, used the fly model to identify a novel role of BubR1 and Mad2 in pausing stem cells in a “ready-to-go” state, enabling the

The evolution of shape diversity through the lens of physics—explored in our new paper! A fruitful collaboration between our lab @EMBL, Salbreux’s lab unige & others, led by Bailleul Richard—now independent at École normale supérieure | PSL—& Nicolas Cuny. bit.ly/3WRqdEa
