Survey - V1.0 Hi, I am Elli. I am conducting a survey for a school project, your participation means a lot to me. All your answers are anonymous and responses are only seen by me for this research. Below are my 2...

Private request :)

Is your current or previous residences California? - Help my daughter's school project: a small sociological research, which involves a brief survey of current protests in California, US. I promise, only 3-5 minutes :)

Many thanks to you all !! 🩷

Congratulations to Rashmi and Karolina and also to the technology development studio of the MPI-CBG without whom the screen would not have been possible.
If you are interested in high-content screening in organoid models, you may want to take a look.

TF-MINDI is out! A new method to learn cis-regulatory codes through rich embeddings of TF binding sites. TF-MINDI decomposes motif neighbourhoods, and works downstream of any sequence-to-function deep learning model. We deeply study the enhancer code in human neural development, check out the thread

DAFT: minimal principles for reproducible research papers - Bruno C. Vellutini DAFT principles are a minimal set of principles I've been using to organize my research papers that foster good scientific practice.

I wrote a post describing a minimal set of principles that I've been using to make my research papers a bit more reproducible. Would love hearing what you think! #OpenScience

Molecular basis for de novo thymus regeneration in a vertebrate, the axolotl The molecular, cellular, and functional restoration of the axolotl thymus after de novo regeneration is described.

Can't believe my postdoc paper is finally out. Christmas came early this year, holy moly 🎄

Thank you for sharing! 👋 🙏

Hydra are a cosmos in a cuvette Anaïs Bailles on astrophysics and immortal animals

Hydra are ~basically~ immortal.

Shred 50 of the lil guys to bits and pack their cells in a blob, and that blob will grow into a new Hydra... albeit with a few extra heads!

This week's post is a Q&A @anaisbailles.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de about the physics of how Hydra coax order from chaos.🧪⚛️

Thanks a lot to @elisecutts.bsky.social for nicely highlighting and putting in context our article! It was very interesting to discuss together, notably about the analogies between the emergence of order in Hydra and other physical phenomena.

[PUBLI] Observing muscle growth brick by brick

A research project at the @ibdm.bsky.social, led by Clément Rodier, has recently challenged long-standing scientific hypotheses about how muscles elongate during development, thanks to advanced #microscopy.
