This epic paper, which has been a heroic 10 year journey for the lead author, Ricardo Barrientos, is finally out in Cell today! Many thanks to all co-authors, especially Billie Meadowcroft and Andela Saric for their beautiful MD simulations www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Basement membrane turnover controls cell shapeBasement membranes are scaffolds of proteins, like collagen, that give organs shape. During development, basement membranes must adapt to the growing organ. We infer how fast the basement membrane ada...www.cell.com

🚨 We are searching for 2 PhD students to join our CRC 1550 'Molecular circuits of heart disease' project - a joint venture with @eldadtzahor.bsky.social to investigate the mechanisms underlying intercellular communication and how these promote cardiac repair and regeneration. Please share 🙏🐟🐭🧬🔬

I’m at #SMBE2026 this week. My lab is looking to hire a postdoc to study the genetic and developmental mechanisms underlying the evolution of organs and cell types. Please reach out if you’re interested!

We are recruiting! We invite applications from highly motivated PhD candidates interested in developmental biology, imaging, and in situ structural biology to study the biogenesis and plasticity of motile cilia in development and disease.

Excited to share our latest paper! We found that large pieces of the human genome can transfer between cells upon direct contact, endowing recipient cells with heritable phenotypic changes. @cp-cell.bsky.social (1/7) www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

For 40 years the 8-nt ‘Kozak Sequence’ was thought to mark sites of translation initiation. In a new study, we revise this model by identifying an ~80-nt sequence—the extended Translation Initiation Sequence (eTIS)— that guides ribosomes to correct start sites. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We now have genome browsers on our UCSC mirror at genome.senckenberg.de for the 1033 mammal and 866 bird assemblies, showing spliceAi, reference-based and ref-integrated TOGA2 tracks. Tables with links to all browsers are genome.senckenberg.de/TOGA2Mammali... & genome.senckenberg.de/TOGA2Aves.html

We’re looking for a technician to join our lab in Dresden - help manage the lab and work with us on a cool 'stem cell zoo' comparison projects! 🐁🚶‍♀️🦏🐒 Apply by May 21! tud.link/wbqrwm

🚨 Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders? In our new paper in @science.org , we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #EvoDevo

Regeneration of fins and limbs relies on a shared cellular playbookThe findings strengthen the case that regeneration is an old trait, offering insights into how complex tissues rebuild themselves.www.sciencenews.org

Happening today at 12pm EST - join us for an exciting Zone 3 (Americas) webinar focused on Hydroid regeneration! More information and zoom links can be found at: isrbio.org/webinars

Male octopuses use a specialized arm that acts as both a sensory and reproductive organ to navigate the female’s mantle, locate oviducts, and transfer sperm. These findings reveal how sensory systems shape reproductive behavior and drive speciation. Learn more in Science: https://scim.ag/4dYMtFq

It’s out! 🐟 We compared three regeneration superstars—axolotl, zebrafish, and Polypterus—to ask how animals regrow limbs and fins. We find shared core processes, and other programs fine-tuned by evolution in surprising, lineage-specific ways. tinyurl.com/mpftkn7y

Here is a copy of last year's Twitter thread explaining our preprint - jump to (21) for the new stuff 👀 Synergy between cis-regulatory elements can render cohesin dispensable for distal enhancer function now revised and journal accepted at www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵👇

We've just been awarded a grant to study the cellular basis of regeneration – to track the progenitors of sensory organs in the context of leg regeneration, in our favourite crustacean tinyurl.com/parhyale, based on live imaging and cell tracking. The project involves some cool collaborations... 1/3

Very excited to see the first Beisaw lab publication out in its final form 🥳🥳 rdcu.be/ei1I7 if you’re interested in zebrafish heart regeneration and how cardiomyocytes replace the fibrotic injured tissue (spoiler alert: macrophages play an important role), then read it here 👇

Border-zone cardiomyocytes and macrophages regulate extracellular matrix remodeling to promote cardiomyocyte protrusion during cardiac regenerationNature Communications - Adult zebrafish are capable of heart regeneration, but how the collagenous injury site is replaced remains unclear. Here they provide an in-depth analysis of cardiomyocyte...rdcu.be
