It was a looong June for @dianagm.bsky.social but worth the wait (I think). Check out our new preprint in collaboration with Adolfo Alsina and Guillaume Salbreux (both not here) about what you need or might not need for our two eyes to match. Check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

And it feels extra special that it came out at the same time as Margarida's beautiful work 🫶

This is extra special! First contribution from our lab and my first as last author! :-) We explore how embryos buffer cell death to ensure development under stress. If you are into cellular plasticity and developmental robustness, check out how the vertebrate retina rises to the challenge.

Beyond excited to share the work from my PhD!! It was a super fun adventure with @nordenlab.bsky.social and @rocha-lab.bsky.social :)

Check out the tour de force by @jalehtimaki.bsky.social in its final form: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... . An elegant combination of transcriptomics, F0 screens and high end imaging unravels the cues that guide cells (here retinal horizontal cells) in an increasingly crowded tissue. #proudPI

Spatiotemporal coordination of Slit-Robo repulsion and neurturin-Gfrα attraction guides multipolar migration during retinal lamination

Multipolar migration is a conserved neuronal migration mode in the developing brain, enabling emerging neurons to navigate in crowded environments and…

In the spirit 👻 of Freaky Friday 🎃, here is a beautiful yet eery video of zebrafish retina development showing horizontal cells (🔵) finding their way out of the crowded amacrine (🟠) layer to settle beneath the photoreceptors. Happy #Halloween! 🎥: PhD student Rae Wong from the @nordenlab.bsky.social

Pls spread the word! We have a postdoc position available in the Rocha Lab @mpi-muenster.bsky.social. Join our team to study mechanisms underlying robust organ development using zebrafish embryos and human organoids. mpi-muenster.mpg.de/career

A long overdue get together to celebrate the arrival of summer. Great company fun conversations, we all learned a lot…😉. Take note that @catfigueiredo.bsky.social has her eyes (well at least one) open! This was the only one out of 12 pictures…her secret super power!
