New preprint! Our workflow for processing single cell and nuclei data, called 🎉 scprocess 🎉 We have been working on it for ~18 months now, over which time we have processed at least 2k samples with it, so it has had a decent amount of testing.
Our cover image for the March issue is up!

Maria Reiche (1903–1998) was a mathematician & archaeologist who dedicated >50 yrs of her life to the study & preservation of the Nazca Lines in Peru.
The "Lady of the Lines" is credited with bringing these ancient geoglyphs to international attention & ensuring their protection. #WomenInSTEM #WHM
Gene expression patterns in zebrafish embryos (6-somite stage; anterior at top).
A new mechanism for “RNA memory”! This time in Planaria! (Here's a video of a Planarian with mulitple heads, one of the heritable phenotypes we studied).
This work summarizes >10 years of research and is an amazing collaboration with the labs of Jochen Rink and Omri Wurtzel labs. Read thrad below👇
Gisela Cairo @giselacairobaza.bsky.social, Muhammad Haseeb @muhammad-haseeb.bsky.social, Soni Lacefield @lacefieldlab.bsky.social & team find that the MOS-MAPK pathway regulates polar body fate in mouse oocytes.

"GRNs, which should provide mechanistic explanations, are increasingly reduced to statistical correlations — ‘hairballs’ that fail to capture molecular causation"

Please check out our new preprint! Using single cell analysis paired with HCR to visualize transcript localization we have identified cell and tissue-specific expression of various genes encoding tubulins, kifs, and dyneins during neural crest development!
Deadline extended: Submit your research on splicing in development and disease to the Differentiation special issue led by Guest Editors Natoya Peart and Karine Choquet by June 30, 2026. Learn more: https://www.sciencedirect.com/special-issue/322731/splicing-in-development-and-disease
🔬🔦In this Imaging spotlight, Kevin Dean @kevin-dean.bsky.social and team tell us about their motivation for designing Altair-LSFM, describe its key features, how to setup and use the system and their planned developments.

Condensates are powerful ways to break symmetry and cells do remarkable things with them. Here we show that in a multinucleate fungus, a condensate regulates translation of a cyclin and a formin in distinct locations.

Cells use proteins like morphogens to talk to each other in order to build and maintain 3D tissue structures. But how do these morphogens reach distant cells when they are all packed together? We think long #cytonemes play a big role in shaping how cells talk to one another for growth.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Here is a mouse fibroblast with multiple thin membrane extensions reaching out toward its neighbors. The long (>10 um) extensions are a type of signaling filopodia called #cytonemes that transport signals like SHH, WNT, Notch, and GFs! 🔬 by Senior Scientist Hong Lin. 🧪 👩🔬

For #WomensHistoryMonth we spotlight Prof. Shaheen Sikandar. Her research shows how early pregnancy may protect against breast cancer by blocking age-related cell changes. A new @americancancersoc.bsky.social grant will allow her to shift focus from cure to prevention.
