🎄 Day 1 of the 24 Days of Development ✨🧬
This study shows how different fixation methods (PFA vs. TCA) change what researchers can visualize in chicken embryos using HCR or IHC. 🔍🐣🔬 doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2024…

Diatoms – microscopic algae found almost everywhere there’s water – make up ~25% of Earth’s annual oxygen production.
EMBL scientists have found a way to reveal their inner structures by combining cryo-fixation with ultrastructural expansion microscopy.

Wonderful visit to @embl Heidelberg! Grateful to Alexandre Aulehla and @AissamIkmi for the invitation and to all the group leaders, post-docs and students for the stimulating discussions.
Amazing science and a great community!

Had the pleasure of working with @Dardiry_mo to rethink what it means to develop for life. Many thanks to @Dev_journal! @embl #LifelongDevSI
Phenotypic plasticity as the foundation of lifelong development
In this #LifelongDevSI Hypothesis, @Dardiry_mo and @AissamIkmi (@embl) challenge the paradigm of organismal terminal differentiation

Ever wondered how metabolism regulates embryonic development? Our recent work demonstrates that metabolism has a signaling module controlling the tempo of embryonic axis segmentation.
