🎊 Happy 2026 from #ASCBcourse! Thanks to all former participants, speakers & future applicants! 🙏 One highlight: tracking stem cell-like behaviors in chick embryos during #gastrulation 🐣 Apply now 👉 https://t.co/owrfa0SqYW 📆 June 22-July 3 @institutpasteur #StemCells

This is an interesting observation with potential practical implications but, as long as there is no independent confirmation/reproduction it will remain just an anecdote.

Finally watched The Thinking Game on a long flight. What stayed with me is how directly it addresses how hard biology is. 80-90% of experiments fail, and people who choose this path have conditioned themselves psychologically for constant failure

An immunization against LLM AI hype https://t.co/16x0vFid5a for real discovery human neural networks honed in by millions of years of evolution are not only needed but unbeatable

Beautiful, thorough, personal in places, memoir of John Gurdon from Eddy de Robertis, disciple and friend. Å #MustRead about a generation and a time from which we have moved on but that laid the foundation for contemporary biology. https://t.co/7OolOTKqFL

Wow! What an amazing week it was at the @IISER_BERHAMPUR for my first ever Indian Society of Developmental Biology (@InSDB_79) meeting. Got to meet so many people! Gratitude to Prof Raj and his team for such a wonderful experience!

2025 was an incredibly successful year for the Fraticelli Lab! We loved celebrating it together during our xmas day—especially with some wonderful new faces joining us.🥰 We’re excited for what 2026 will bring and wish everyone happy holidays! 🎄🎅💫

Thanks for the shout out! Dev bio in India is really thriving well & really high quality work is being done in many labs across India! Glad this is being taken note of & gaining some limelight! @biopatrika @InSDB_79 #devbio #development @SocDevBio

And after a few days of great science, wonderful food and a remarkable setting, good bye to InSDB-SD2026 at IISER Berhampur with a fantastic spirit. #DevBio in #India rocks.

💯💯💯

Lovely little pre-Christmas present to see this out @NatureCellBio ! Some 🔥 new results in here since the biorvix incl (1) a new RARE-GFP reporter ✳️🙌, (2) additional NMP quantification 🔢, (3) no neural tube patterning on RA inhibition 🙅 etc. Enjoy! 😍

2/2 This work completes a framework to think about mammalian gastrulation as a modular system with GRNs Eomes and TbxT driven) that spin our a sequence of cell fates under the control of Nodal and Wnt signalling

1/2 Using #gastruloids @AnitaBanerjee19 Ram Sambasivan group find that Retinoic Acid gates the response of the epiblast to the Nodal:Eomes, Wnt:TbxT modules during mouse #gastrulation promoting the regionalization of the #PrimitiveStreak https://t.co/pTgHEiYkDC

At InSDB-SD2026 in IISER Berhampur Great Day 2 morning session with a highlight from @InamdarManeesha. on the use of #SCbEM in the study of #HumanReproduction within the CReATE initiative @DBT_inStem Using #Gastruloids for human health

It's a pleasure to be here with such a thriving community of young developmental biologists #GoIndia

@AMartinezArias gave a fascinating opening talk on Day 2 of InSDB - ISD 2026 on gastrulation at IISER Berhampur! A crash course in gastrulation as he called it :) Great set of talks & exciting science lined up for the day! @biopatrika #InSDBISD2026

Científicos chinos y de la UPF han desarrollado un modelo de gastrulación en primates. Servirá para estudiar el origen de enfermedades y los efectos del ambiente y fármacos en el desarrollo embrionario humano. Hemos hablado con @AMartinezArias, autor del estudio.

@davidasinclair Would be perhaps useful to point out that neural organoids are not miniature brains and that they model fetal stages of parts of the human brain during development (rather than aging or rejuvenation). At these stages, especially in cortical organoids, neural activity is largely
