If you're local, join us tomorrow for fun science at the Pepper Place Farmer's Market!

Thank you, we appreciate the kind words, particularly from a fellow olfactory aficionado! :-)

Thank you!

The new issue online tinyurl.com/j859f4k8. It's also a special issue on neural stem cells and includes the cover article by
@saxenalab.bsky.social
on how progenitor neighborhoods function as transient niches to sustain olfactory neurogenesis tinyurl.com/mrxf3ar5.

Thank you @stemcellreports.bsky.social for featuring our work on the Neural Stem Cells Special Issue cover! www.cell.com/stem-cell-re... Kudos to lead author Sriivatsan G. Rajan for designing the image. Check out the wide array of interesting papers in this packed issue: www.cell.com/stem-cell-re...

What are the 3D spatial molecular patterns of differentiating enteric nervous system (ENS) in vivo? Are there co-expression networks? Are there spatially variable genes? In our preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @RodrigoMoreC et al explored 1/4

Support biomedical research & the efforts of tireless NIH program officers -- share your feedback before Mon. 5pm Eastern. Takes just a few minutes.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks!

We discovered that progenitor cells build transient neighborhoods to integrate both underlying genetic circuits and external signals. Our findings showcase how the dynamic arrangement of groups of cells is critical for executing programs of neurogenesis in vivo. 3/3

#Neurons in the nose regenerate throughout an organism's lifetime. How do olfactory stem cells funnel fluctuating signals to sustain this continuous process? #DevBio #Neuroscience #SystemsBiology #SelfOrganization #Zebrafish @uabcdib.bsky.social @uabneuro.bsky.social 2/3

How an ol'factory' assembly line constantly manufactures neurons: Pleased to share our work in @stemcellreports.bsky.social, led by Sriivatsan G. Rajan in collab w/ L. Nacke, J. Lombardo, K. Wong, E. Somodji, J. Garcia, and the lab of dearly departed Dr. Jie Liang. 1/3 www.cell.com/stem-cell-re...

Running empty on dev bio jokes this busy Mon. afternoon (do not despair, they shall undergo epimorphosis like a lizard's tail), so just a quick reminder that @socdevbio.bsky.social #SESDB2025 abstract & registration deadlines are TODAY at 11:59 PM ET. Join us!! #DevBio

@socdevbio.bsky.social SE Regional Mtg abstract deadlines are approaching! We hope the selective pressure of the short talk consideration deadline, 4/21, is evolving your abstract rapidly. Or perhaps it's undergoing steady morphogenesis in time for the poster deadline, 4/28. :-) #SESDB2025 #DevBio

Join us for the @socdevbio.bsky.social Southeast Regional Meeting, May 19-21! www.sdbonline.org/sesdb2025 Showcase your exciting research & receive valuable feedback at any stage, from a newly fertilized idea to a rapidly gastrulating hypothesis to a fully 'developed' story. 🙂 #SESDB2025 #DevBio

Join your local rally tomorrow!! #StandUpForScience2025 #ScienceForAll

Join us Fri., Mar. 7 12-3 PM at Railroad Park in #Birmingham #Bham for a much-needed Stand Up for Science Rally! Make your voice heard in support for publicly funded research that benefits all of us! tinyurl.com/sufs-bham #StandUpForScience2025 #ScienceNotSilence #ScienceForAll
