Hoy @bpernaute.bsky.social ha participado en la Jornada de Sociedades #COSCE con el tema Dilemas Éticos en Ciencia y Tecnología como representante de la #SEBD y ha dado una conferencia sobre "Generación y uso de modelos de embrión humano in vitro a partir de células madre” a propuesta de la #SEBD

Dual Bmp-negative feedback loops modulate function of both AER and ZPA to buffer and constrain postaxial digit number | PNAS Several lines of evidence indicate that posterior (postaxial) digit number in tetrapod vertebrates is constrained to the pentadactyl state by inter...

transport yourself to the late 90s with this really cool paper on digit number regulation by Shh and BMP, ZPA and AER. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Congratulations to you all!!! Super beautiful work! 👏👏👏👏👏@aurhin.bsky.social @chasebolt.bsky.social @homeobox.bsky.social
@fish4walking.bsky.social @neilshubin.bsky.social

Most neurodevelopmental disorders are caused by having 1 functional gene copy. Using SCN2A, we show that upregulating the functional copy rescues neuronal phenotypes. Amazing work with @neurobender.bsky.social led by Serena Tamura, Andrew Nelson, Perry Spratt & others.

Out today. 🙏 again to everyone for this wonderful piece of work, in particular to Aurelie @aurhin.bsky.social Chase @chasebolt.bsky.social and Brent @homeobox.bsky.social. 🙏 also to the Harris lab @fish4walking.bsky.social and @neilshubin.bsky.social @biology-unige.bsky.social @college-de-france.fr

Having fun @amartinezarias.bsky.social party! 🙏🏻🎉💐 Great meeting #InHoxWeSortOfTrust

I'm a bit late to the party over here. I'll be advertising a BBSRC-funded postdoc position soon. So if anyone wants to solve some outstanding questions in limb development - please get in touch. We have a variety of models and approaches (everything from stem cells to sharks). towerslab.weebly.com

🥳 Thrilled to share that our lab has been awarded an ERC StGrant for our project SigReg: Signal to Regeneration!

How can we unlock limb regeneration in adult mammals?

It’s time to apply what we learned from 🐸 ➡️ 🐭

Thank you @erc.europa.eu for supporting ambitious science!!!

HUGE congrats on the ERC Starting Grant! 🎉 Absolutely deserved! Keep rocking, this is just the start! 🚀

Thrilled to see our revised preprint now published in Nature Ecology & Evolution!

🗣️💬“Este hallazgo ha sido posible gracias a un inmenso esfuerzo de recolectar los especímenes por todo el mundo, lo que ha permitido revelar la existencia de distintas especies y características genéticas”, comenta @obog.bsky.social del #CABD, uno de los autores del estudio.

Liebenberg syndrome severity arises from variations in Pitx1 locus topology and proportion of ectopically transcribing cells - Nature Communications Here the authors show that reducing enhancer-promoter distance at the Pitx1 locus increases proportion of Pitx1 forelimb expressing cells, worsening skeletal defects in Liebenberg syndrome. They also ...

Our work bridging enhancer-promoter proximity to phenotypic outcomes in vivo is out! Shout out to @olimpiabompadre.bsky.social, to Marie Kmita's lab, and to all the co-authors. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Range extender mediates long-distance enhancer activity - Nature The REX element is associated with long-range enhancer–promoter interactions.

Our paper describing the Range Extender element which is required and sufficient for long-range enhancer activation at the Shh locus is now available at @nature.com. Congrats to @gracebower.bsky.social who led the study. Below is a brief summary of the main findings www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

👏Thrilled to see @miguel-torres-1963.bsky.social honoured with the Genetics National Award by the @segenetica.bsky.social

Outstanding contributions to developmental biology and gene regulation.

An inspiring figure to many of us. Congrats Miguel! 🎉 🎉

Estamos de enhorabuena @lluismontoliu.bsky.social  junto con la directora de nuestra #RevistaSEBBM Inma Yruela recogen hoy el Premio MEDES que nos otorga la Fundacion Lilly como mejor Entidad destacada en la promoción del español como lengua del conocimiento biomédico.

Thrilled to see it out as a preprint and excited for what’s to come. Thank you!

A real privilege and pleasure to work with you and the whole team! A fantastic collaboration and true team effort. Amazed by the findings, deep conservation of dorsalizing factors and their regulation and the beauty of their possible implication in natural variation!

Schematics depicting the dorsal and ventral sides of fins and limbs

We take for granted that our hands have two sides and can articulate in an endless number of ways. But what about a fish’s fin? Can a fish know something “like the back of its fin,” or have its future told with a fin palm reading? Check out this bluetorial to find out 👇🧪🧬🐟 doi.org/10.1101/2025...
