The pain of hunger. The pain of losing siblings, moms and dads, cousins, friends, and colleagues killed trying to reach food or medical care. The pain of wounds not healing because of malnutrition. All of this pain is deliberate.
Let Gaza live.
Thanks to these wonderful people - I never thought I would enjoy my viva so much! 🔬🧠 🫱🏻🫲🏼 – at Edinburgh, Scotland
Helen Marshall’s thesis "Investigating the Role of PAX6 During Neurodevelopment Using Human Stem Cell-Derived Brain Organoids" was supervised by @DavidPrice_UoE & @johnomason at @CDBSEdinburgh. I learned a lot examining it with Tom Pratt yesterday at @EdinburghUni.

We extend our studies in understanding the role of PAX6 in neurodevelopment using human cerebral organoids!
Similar to mice, PAX6 loss results in ectopic inhibitory neurons but data indicates possible species-specific differences.

Our STEM CELL ZOO paper is out in @CellStemCell!
By using in vitro differentiation of ES/iPS cells, we recapitulated the segmentation clocks of mouse, human, rabbit, cow, marmoset, and even rhinoceros🐁🧍♀️🐰🐄🐒🦏
They showed species-specific clock periods!
