How is proliferation modulated in regeneration for tissues to reach their right size? We found that, in zebrafish scales, proliferation is shut down by a moving front of osteoblast maturation. The front's dynamics scale with tissue size, ensuring proper osteoblast amplification. tinyurl.com/5e45twx3

Successful regeneration recovers lost tissues to their original form. Here, we investigate how proliferation of bone-forming osteoblasts is timely regulated to control tissue size during zebrafish sca...

How do epithelial cells make a lumen as they polarize? We have some exciting new answers to this long standing question. Check out our new paper in which we show that lumen initiation is driven by large vacuoles that deliver a pre-assembled apical cortex to the AMIS: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Epithelial lumen formation is fundamental to organ development, yet how apical surfaces first emerge remains unclear. Ghosh, Martin, and Chen et al., show that lumen initiation is driven via bulk deli...

NIH's Aug 2026 proposal would scrap exact scores and percentiles for three broad bins (top = top 25%). With funding rates at 5% or lower, too much then rides on administrative discretion. It devalues peer review and is a deterrent to engage. Tell NIH before Oct 13. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

A very intriguing story by Joao F. Botelho et al shows that in bird, the digit formation (their ✋) is not only governed by apoptosis but also due to changes in the rate of growth extension and cell division between the interdigital zone and the digital zone. So cool! #devbio doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...
