Last day at the Allen Institute 8n Seattlr, WA for the early career symposium, Stem Cell and Dev Bio. Amazing conference. Special Thanks to @biolaminaab.bsky.social for the Rising Star Travel Award and to @alleninstitute.org @socdevbio.bsky.social @isscr.org for the organization.

One year of the lab! It is a very humbling experience to see all these talented trainees challenging themselves with some cool biology! I cannot wait to see where these exciting results lead us!

New in @dev-journal.bsky.social: how tissue shape tells cells what to become Using human stem-cell neuruloids, we show how that physical boundaries encode positional information that drives cell fate patterning in a model of trunk formation A thread 🧵 journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Boundary constraints can determine pattern emergence

Summary: A reaction-diffusion mechanism recapitulates pattern emergence in an in vitro model of neuromesodermal progenitors under a variety of boundary and geometrical perturbations.

My first time seeing actin geodesic domes, and I have to say: they are *gorgeous*. Nature really knows how to get organized! Little is known about their function, so any input is very welcome! #FluorescenceFriday #Actin

Nothing conceptually new here given Dennis Discher’s work, but it still blows my mind that small lipid vesicles (magenta) can indent nuclei this strongly. Cell mechanics is wild! #FluorescenceFriday

What is happening with these differentiating adipocyte-derived stem cells??? 🤯 Why is EGFP-LifeAct in/around the nucleus? Artifact?? Why would it disappear while others are stable for hours? #FluorescenceFriday #Actin

John Gurdon (1933-2025) Sir John Gurdon was a towering figure in developmental biology, respected and admired throughout the world. In this Obituary, Jim Smith writes about his legacy. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

First long term confocal imaging #Zeiss from the lab. Adipose-derived stem cells expressing LifeAct.
