Super excited to share my postdoctoral work at @imbavienna.bsky.social @viennabiocenter.bsky.social - We discovered that some retrotransposons, or "jumping genes" 🧬, are able to spread from cell to cell via a new viral infectivity route. A short thread: 🧵👇 (1/7)
AI-generated illustration of the soma-to-germline transmission of retrotransposons described in our work

🎉Preprint out! In our new manuscript, we reveal that, much like us, wake up (proliferation) and sleeping (quiescence) patterns of adult neural stem cells are controlled by the circadian clock machinery. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

PER2- and state-dependent transcriptional programs gate neural stem cell proliferation with niche-specific circadian autonomy
Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) in the mouse brain are predominantly quiescent, with activation tightly regulated to balance neurogenesis and stem cell maintenance. Circadian clocks temporally organize...

As Editor of @dev-journal.bsky.social I get asked "What are you doing about your impact factor?" In our new editorial we say: Ask not what Dev can do for the impact factor. Ask what you can do for Dev's IF The IF is about how we all cite, review & assess each other's work doi.org/10.1242/dev....

The elephant in the room: impact factor
Summary: This Editorial offers an honest look at impact factor trends in developmental biology, explains how Development serves its community, and makes the case that sustaining developmental biology ...
