here's a new science #rant on #aging :)
as far as biology can tell, aging is best understood, #philosophically at least, as part of a #developmental continuum between #embryogenesis & death, which is pre-programmed somehow. therefore, we cannot in principle place precise "boundaries" or "cutoffs" between development, adulthood, and seniority. In strict #biological terms, they are all part of one continuous #program. a complete explanation of aging therefore requires complete #devbio knowledge

Notch activation revealed to be an important stepping stone on the path to acquiring anterior-posterior identity and mesodermal fate during axis elongation.
Very interesting work from @a_tsakiridis, Fay Cooper & colleagues in Sheffield using human pluripotent cell-based models, plus some lovely chick embryo grafting data from Kim Dale's lab in Dundee

Could a #DevBio approach be more systematically applied to the study of #CollectiveBehavior? @sciencebella and I think so and explain our reasoning in an opinion/review article published today in @RSocPublishing's Philos. Trans. R. Soc. B. A thread (1/6)

Fantastic talk today by @DenisDuboule at the #MRCLMB on #Hox genes, highlighting their unique features and introducing the resolution of a long-standing mystery: the Hox timer. As explained in:
"Sequential And Directional Insulation By Conserved CTCF Sites Underlies The Hox Timer In Pseudo-Embryos", Rekaik et al. 2022 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.08.29.505673v1

Hi everyone!
The Vincent lab twitter account completes its migration to Mastodon.
Follow us for cool #DevBio science, mostly working with #Drosophila. We are generally interested in the signalling activities that control patterning, growth and apoptosis in epithelia. Our #morphogen of choice is #Wnt.Here you may also find the occasional rant from JP once he gets used to the new format. Until then, this account is mostly managed by postdoc Ines.

I have apparently reached the point in my career where I can 'rant' about the state of the NIH, #science #careers, bureaucracy in general, #women in STEM, etc. and my #trainees find it highly informative for making their own choices in their career journeys. Best to go in with eyes open after all :) #devbiol #devbio #STEM

Neuro-evo conference at HHMI Janelia on May 15-18, 2023. Join us for the third edition!
Application deadline: Jan 27 (11:59 p.m. EST) 2023.
"Historically, with the study of the most convenient animal models —from the giant axon of the squid and the lobster's stomatogastric circuits to Aplysia's synapses and C. elegans' circuits — neuroscientists revealed some of the operating principles of the nervous system, which were then found to apply broadly across phyla. The third instalment of this meeting will once again bring together neuroscientists working on a broad diversity of animal models in an effort to compare circuits across phyla as a means to crack their function."

CW: Combinatorial interpretation of BMP and WNT allows BMP to act as a morphogen in time but not in concentration.
"[...] varying the duration of #BMP #signaling leads to either pluripotent, mesodermal, and extraembryonic states, while varying the concentration does not cause efficient mesodermal differentiation at any dose [...] appropriately timed pulse of BMP induces #hPSCs to a mesodermal fate more efficiently that sustained signaling at any concentration. [...] this effect is due to a combinatorial interpretation of the applied BMP signal and induced endogenous #Wnt signaling."

#introduction
I study #development and cell #signaling using #Drosophila. In my lab at #UMass Boston, we use #proteomics, #genetics, #imaging, and a bit of #biochemistry to study mechanisms of organ #growth and tissue #patterning. We like to discover and analyze #protein interaction #networks. Current interests are #Hippo and #ERK signaling, and control of #brain development. And no one can escape from #Notch.
Go #DevBio!
