Happy to see our work describing an avidity mechanism of extracellular BMP regulation out. A great team effort from all involved!

Fun @mcf-uom.bsky.social celebration event today. Nice to see team LEAF being recognised for all the hard work in helping the MCF labs get LEAF gold awards. And good to celebrate Ali’s paper again!

Just seen a local post box with a crocheted topper with 22 bees remembering each victim of the Manchester Arena bombing ❤️

Think we’ve captured a hedgehog courtship ritual on camera last night. Fingers crossed for some hoglets in a couple of months

Our new paper describes how SunTag imaging of mRNA translation can be used to study ribosome pausing in development. We also adapt the system to study translation of a secreted protein. Work done in collaboration with @mrattray.bsky.social and @markashe.bsky.social doi.org/10.1242/jcs....

Exploiting the SunTag system to study the developmental regulation of mRNA translation
The ability to quantitatively study mRNA translation using SunTag imaging is transforming our understanding of the translation process. Here, we expand the SunTag method to study new aspects of transl...

Lots of frogs hanging around our pond. Hopefully there will be some frog spawn soon 🐸

Is there more to defining the eve stripes in the Drosophila embryo than just transcriptional regulation? We provide evidence that spatially regulated mRNA decay is also important.
