The choanoflagellate Barroeca monosierra on the cover of @mbiojournal 🤩. Our work shows that this large colonial choano from Mono Lake harbors live bacteria. Beautiful picture by @Kayley_Hake #choanoflagellates @MSarsCentre @UiB @thembauk @UCBerkeley

We think that all memory is stored in the brain. But our study published today in @NatureComms shows that all cells—even kidney cells—can count, detect patterns, store memories, and do so similarly to brain cells. My first (co)corresponding author paper!🧵 https://t.co/biaahYiPRW

A species of comb jelly (Mnemiopsis leidyi) can age backward when stressed, reversing its development from a sexually mature life cycle stage to an earlier larval stage—a finding relevant to the study of aging and rejuvenation in animals. In PNAS: https://t.co/Q23psEOrS6

Not many people heard about human Gb3/CD77 synthase (α1,4-galactosyltransferase), but it plays a great role in immunohematology, toxicology and cancer. After spending several studying it, we present all the data in a review @katszymczak @RKaczmarekDr

It doesn't feel the right moment to celebrate this, but I guess we are going to need our children to be more scientifically literate - including, especially about scientific racism - than ever before. So thank you for this honour.
We are very happy to announce the shortlist for the Royal Society Young People's Book Prize 2024, with six books chock full of tales of Arctic adventures, amazing ancestors and astrophysics. The winner will be chosen from among these six by over 19,000 young people across the

Super happy to see the lab's 1st developmental biology paper out! Ciona is an excellent model to study the function of evolutionarily conserved molecules like Ano10 in basic developmental processes such as notochord morphogenesis.
The #notochord is an essential tubular organ that defines the phylum #Chordata. @ZonglaiL @daniel_dondorp @mchlab reveal that the #IonChannel Anoctamin 10 orchestrates #morphogenesis of the notochord in the #urochordate #SeaSquirt Ciona #PLOSBiology
