Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists: - watching flies fuck - giving rats massages - spending years digging into why jellyfish glow - tracking penguin poop from space - using horseshoe crab blood

The evolution of Wnt-betacatenin signaling molecules from non-bilaterians to bilaterians! From Wikramanayake lab
biorxiv.org
The Wnt/β-catenin (cWnt) signaling pathway is one of the most important intercellular signaling pathways in animals. How cWnt components regulate the pathway in bilaterians is well understood, but...

Cnidarians are supposed to be diploblastic. In this new ms we show that in the sea anemone Nematostella the interplay of Wnt, MAPK and Notch signaling controls the segregation of endodermal, mesodermal and ectodermal identities. https://t.co/DvH4jLRVwF

Thrilled to share our latest work from my postdoc with @MartinLabMIT in @Dev_Cell ! We uncovered a mechanism linking DV axial patterning with AP axis extension through patterned cell-cell adhesion. Intrigued? Dive into the details here!
Online now: Postdoc Nat Clarke's @natclarke8 excellent work on a mechanism that coordinates tissue folding and axis extension. Great job and congratulations Nat!
