@nicolasrivron.bsky.social and I look to recruit a postdoc through the VIP3 rogramme to investigate post-implantation development of blastoids. Contact us if you are interested, and let your colleagues who could be interested know!

Delighted that our work on positional memory is now published. We asked how axolotl cells 'know' which part of the limb to regenerate after injury. www.nature.com/articles/s41... A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura, Francisco Falcon and Elly Tanaka. 🧵1/14

Reminder: deadline to apply for the Stem Cell Summer School is 30th May. And it's May already! So you have to apply this month! A limited number of bursaries are available. p.s. this year, the summer school coincides with the Spetses Armata Festival, so there will be a big party on the island 🙂

Can metabolism regulate more than bioenergetics during human development? Our new study says YES! We show that metabolism influences cell fate choice in human naïve pluripotent stem cells, histone acetylation, and trophectoderm maturation. rb.gy/spqr9j @natcellbio.nature.com

α-Ketoglutarate promotes trophectoderm induction and maturation from naive human embryonic stem cells - Nature Cell Biology

Van Nerum et al. show that dimethyl α-ketoglutarate enhances the production and functional maturation of human trophectoderm-like cells from embryonic stem cells by regulating histone acetyltransferas...
