I am excited to announce that our @ClouthierLab @NicholsLab work describing the role of the Gq/11 signaling pathway in lower jaw development is now out on Biorxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited to share our new preprint on the #Hedgehog pathway! We uncover how #Smoothened (SMO), a noncanonical #GPCR, binds & inhibits #PKA via an intrinsically disordered region, mimicking known GPCR/PKA signaling complexes despite minimal sequence similarity. #AlphaFold #IDR
Incredible!!!!!
🚨Big news! Five years in the making, our Zebrahub paper is now published in #Cell 🎉. We’ve built a timecourse atlas of zebrafish embryonic development, combining #scRNAseq data and #lightsheet live imaging, and delved deep into the dynamics of key progenitors.

Excited to share our work on live imaging of the entire course of body regeneration in the marine flatworm Macrostomum using transgenics & advanced microscopy. We hope these tools can unlock the unique biology of this fascinating intertidal animal. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

This week’s #onlywithHCR Spotlight is on Evan Brooks, a postdoctoral fellow in the @Fantauzzo_Lab at @CUAnschutz!
In his recent publication, @ecbrooks96 and his colleagues from the @BrugmannLab performed whole-mount #HCRimaging to examine the organization of tendons, muscle, and cartilage in HH36 chicken embryos.
Explore his work in more detail here: doi.org/nkvn

Pleased that our paper on mammalian jaw evolution is out today in @Nature. First paper from James’ PhD arising from on-going collaboration with our friends and colleagues Pam Gill, @agu_martinelli, @MarinaBentoSoa2 and Cesar Schultz.

Dear friends who write NSF GRFP rec letters, this year rec letters are due BEFORE the applications, so about 10 days earlier than normal on Oct. 11. Please don't let NSF's deadline change on rec letters screw over the applicants in your lives.

Whoa!
🧪A team of researchers, led by @HelenFarrants & @ERSchreiter, developed a new way for engineered protein biosensors & bright, fluorescent Janelia Fluor dyes to work together, creating a new biosensor for measuring physiological signals in live animals.➡️janelia.org/news/new-biosens…
