✨ Looking forward to hearing from Paul Trainor at #2026SDB in Las Vegas! Paul’s work at the Stowers Institute on neural crest development in mammals (sometimes fish and chameleons) has helped bring attention to understudied craniofacial conditions. 🔬 #devbio #Stowers25

Thrilled that our paper on anole oogenesis & germinal bed morphology is now published following peer review. Mammals & birds have finite egg cells - squamates however have a stem cell niche within the ovary - the germinal bed. Such a great collaboration with co-first author @holyanole.bsky.social

Incredibly proud and happy to announce the publication of my first German novel "Leopold - the boy at the lake" @ Wichern Verlag Berlin. A story exploring the question of what to do when you can hear and see memories - how to learn to live with them and not drown. www.wichern.de/produkt/leop...

Through confocal imaging we describe basement membrane deposition in the ovary during folliculogenesis. We can report a double basement membrane deposited on either side of the granulosa cell layer surrounding the follicles.

Exploring the sub-cellular architecture of the germinal bed & stage II follicles, we could analyse the granulosa (g) and theca (th) cell layers surrounding stage II follicles. Primordial follicles (pf) start exhibiting enlarged nuclei and cytoplasm!

Bonnie Kircher @holyanole.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

Oogenesis takes place in 10 stages. It starts in the oogonial nest - a mitotic stem cell niche within the germinal bed - which then undergo meiosis to form primordial follicles We identified oogonia and primordial follicles using section H&E staining paired with confocal DAPI/WGA staining!

5/6 Lumenogenesis coincides with circular expression of gastrulation marker Brachyury prior to AP-axis formation suggesting a novel role of Brachyury preceding #gastrulation

4/6 We suggest alternative anterior-posterior #patterning regulation in chameleons with anterior marker genes Cerberus expressed in the middle (arrows) and on the posterior (asterisks) of the embryo but not on the anterior side, while Lefty is completely absent. #AP-axis

2/6 The #squamate chameleon diverges from what has been reported for #chicken pre-gastrulation morphogenesis Starting off as flat plate the chameleon hollows and adopts a dome-like shape. Hinge points at the side of the dome result in the formation of amniotic folds. #devbio #evodevo

1/6 Preprint Alert Ever thought that humans & chameleons look alike? We follow chameleon development from fertilisation to oviposition & uncover the process through which they form an epiblast lumen that exhibits striking similarity to human embryos #devbio #evodevo www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hello Angelo, may I ask whether you could add me to the starter pack? I'm setting up my independent research in evodevo - comparing early embryogenesis in amniotes. we have just published our first study in that direction focussing on early development of the brown anole - more soon to follow...
