Very happy to share our work on lymphatic endothelial cell specification, which was published in @NatureCVR this week.
❤️Our January issue is out❤️ Learn about the role of piRNAs in cardiac regeneration, the paraxial mesoderm origin of lymphatic endothelium progenitors, the association between genetically predicted social activities and #Cardiovascular disease, and more! https://t.co/NzLfoKItrf

Excited to share my work @GroupRiley, out today @NatureCVR: https://t.co/82fSTLtw8N Using imaging, scRNAseq & computational modelling , we find that the neonatal cardiac conduction system can regenerate & demonstrate how MI-induced damage elicits arrhythmogenesis 🫀⚡️ 🧵[1/n]

Nature Cardiovascular Research - Sayers et al. reveal that heart regeneration during the neonatal period in mice extends to conduction system restoration after insult, highlighting the difference...

Is evolution predictable or highly contingent? This new @RSocPublishing paper explains why life here & elsewhere might be universal regarding its logic, from molecular information & cells to viruses &ecosystems. @sfiscience @philipcball @seanmcarroll

#HelmholtzMunich @anto_scial & @UniofOxford have deciphered molecular mechanisms behind a key event shaping our body's structure. The study focuses on the anterior visceral endoderm (#AVE) & its vital role in establishing the head-tail axis in mammals. https://t.co/82EWrFZfaj

Delighted to share our latest paper in @Dev_Cell characterising the molecular underpinnings of Anterior Visceral Endoderm migration - the key event laying down the anatomical foundation of the body during embryonic development.
Excited to share our paper out in @Dev_Cell today. A colab with Scialdone @anto_scial & @CellsigL labs. Study led by S Thowfeequ @ShifaanT & J Fiorentino–a molecular characterisation of one of the most important cell migration events during development. https://t.co/K4x9nYZk3r
