2nd week of #ASCB! Evolution of regeneration, Eve Gazave, hands-on Platynereis regeneration wonderfully demonstrated, with help from Zoé Velasquillo, Rémi Strehl. Francina Langa Vives and expert CIGM team had everyone try pronuclear injections + ES into blastocysts - steady hands of creation.

The importance of history, clarity on what we generate in a dish compared to the ground truth. The resourceful David Turner @gastruloids.bsky.social, initiated students on reproducible gastruloid generation and A-P extension. And now, into the 2nd week...

Isolation of small intestine and colon crypts to make organoids with Giulia Nigro, Aline Stedman, Sophie Dulauroy - following a great lecture by Marc Van de Wetering into the history and organoid biology of the gut. Great exercise on how to handle samples with the utmost care.

Isolation of muscle fibres and their stem (satellite) cells. Plate and wait, from quiescence to differentiation - following Shahragim’s lecture on muscle stem cell emergence and diversity. @tajbakhshlab.bsky.social, @brendan-evano.bsky.social, Barbara Gayraud-Morel. Patience is a virtue.
