Learning and exchanging - great students and instructors!

Impressive bench to bedside, Agnete Kirkeby, promise of pluripotent cell technologies. To end our 2-week course, a dinner cruise on the Seine. Magical evening, great company, students and instructors made this a successful and fruitful exchange of ideas. Thanks to all! See you in 2027 #ASCB course!

Matthias Lütolf engineered his way through organ regeneration with impressive micropatterns/microfluidics/imaging - to recapitulate growth and oncogenesis.

A travel through development and tumour biology with Cédric Blanpain, the power of lineage tracing, modelling and imaging! Then chick and quail: Charlène Guillot with Olinda Alegria-Prevot - ex ovo electroporation of embryos - viewing segmentation/growth, beautiful to watch!

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...

After our Friday night picnic + sunset with Eiffel on the rooftop, the week ended with an eye-opening perspective lecture by @amartinezarias.bsky.social on mouse, human, multispecies embryo models; from bench to birth.

Intestinal organoids with Giulia Nigro and Aline Stedman - following a wonderful presentation once again by Marc Van de Wetering - from history to present day “gut” and other types of “organisated-oids”. The promise, practise, and limitations. Many thanks for the guidance!

End of the first and full week #ASCB. Pondering, and exchanges on a research career, then ST's lecture @tajbakhshlab.bsky.social , isolation of muscle stem (satellite) cells + myofibre niche. Plate & wait. Quiescence to differentiation. Barbara Gayraud-Morel, with help from Liza Sarde - thanks!

Our Stem Cell Course #ASCB is back! After 2nd day, @institutpasteur.bsky.social @tajbakhshlab.bsky.social, @zenlabpasteur.bsky.social, Barbara Gayraud-Morel, and great interactive students. Laurence Daheron, Frank Yates, Michel Cohen-Tannoudji covered pluripotency and generating hiPSCs. Great team!

Students are always appreciative of the course, the amount of academic knowledge and practical lab experiences gained across multiple organisms, and the difference strategies used to build a living entity. Please advertise. Thank you!

First dynamic in vivo analysis of dystrophic MuSCs. Identifies niche dysfunctions and points to strategies to restore stem cell function in DMD.

Tajbakhsh Lab @tajbakhshlab.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Cross-grafting experiments uncouple MuSC behaviours: Migration is dictated by the myofibre niche, fate decisions are fibre-independent, and symmetric cell divisions are disrupted. Resolves some long-standing debates in the field.

Tajbakhsh Lab @tajbakhshlab.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

mdx stem cell dysfunction is driven by p38/PI3K signalling, unlike healthy MuSCs, leading to precocious differentiation and loss of stemness.

Superb dual lectures by @amartinezarias.bsky.social on mouse, human, multispecies, embryology, gastruloids; from bench to birth - discussions on the dynamic nature of the field. Importance of history, context, and remaining lucid while discovering. Much to reflect upon, as we explore.
