🚨 New paper out in Development! 🚨 We show that donor embryonic stem cells (ESCs) reshape the developing mouse embryo, not just by what they signal, but where they push. 📄 doi.org/10.1242/dev.... [1/8]

Check out these feather buds on the chicken embryo's wing! Our latest study @plosbiology.org reveals that temporary inhibition of sonic hedgehog signalling transforms feathers into simple, protofeather-like structures—similar to those of their dinosaur ancestors🔬🦖🧪 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
