Zebrafish are members of a rarefied group of vertebrates capable of fully healing a severed spinal cord. A new study from WashU Medicine maps the cells involved — and how they work together — in regenerating the zebrafish spinal cord.

CellTag-multi is finally out in @NatureBiotech
https://t.co/d2row5Ploc. We didn't make the cover this time, but I love what we put together with @DrawImpacts! Here's our fun vision of CellTag cell barcoding and capture across single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq @kjkjindal
The June issue is live https://t.co/RQ3qNeTjwV On our cover, Roohani et al. present GEARS, a computational method that integrates deep learning with a knowledge graph of gene–gene relationships to simulate the effects of genetic perturbations https://t.co/zfN9vh5wFs

Chondrocytes have multiple ion channels for sensing mechanical stimuli - in our latest study, Bob Nims @MaybeItsBob & Daniel Palmer (w/@Bo_Zhang_WashU) used RNA-seq to analyze the complete chondrocyte "mechanome" in response to activation of TRPV4 or Piezo https://t.co/REQPWFIgWc

Congratulations to @AaronJohnsonLab on their research on the effects of brain inflammation on muscle function
Research from WashUMedicine in collaboration with @UFexplore reveals how brain inflammation triggers extreme muscle weakness across several diseases, including viral infection, bacterial infection and Alzheimer’s disease. https://t.co/vxyjhVFyJV

Really fun @Dev_journal article to write thanks to incredible atmosphere lived @Co_Biologists workshop Novel Technologies for #Programming Human Cell Fate. Thanks @morris_lab @TreutleinLab @karow_lab for insightful discussions & @amjeve for editing magic! @IdrmOxford @OxfordDPAG
In this Spotlight, @HsiuChuan_Lin (@ETH_BSSE) @AlyMakhlouf93 (@MRC_LMB) @CamilaVazquezE (@lundu) Dorota Zawada @TU_Muenchen & @simoesfili discuss the main points emerged from @Co_Biologists Workshop ‘Novel Technologies for Programming Human Cell Fate’: https://t.co/PbQaQUs7H8

The CellTag-multi library is now available via @Addgene !
Thrilled to share the final publication of CellTag-multi, a strategy in which CellTag lineage barcodes can be captured in both scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq assays allowing for independent tracking of clonal transcriptional and epigenomic state, with @kjkjindal

I'm pleased to announce that our most recent work in the Theunissen laboratory is published today in Cell Stem Cell! We provide a continuous and integrated human blastoid model derived from naive stem cells that captures pre-implantation to early gastrulation development.

NIH zebrafish research included in U.S. Postal Service’s “Life Magnified” stamps | National Institutes of Health (NIH). Got to love a Zebrafish stamp!!

The work led to a groundbreaking discovery that zebrafish have lymphatic vessels inside their skull.

With @kjkjindal ... stay tuned!
🎉 Thrilled to team up with the awesome @morris_lab again! 🚀✨ Let's take a quick trip down memory lane to our latest project — such a blast @CellStemCell @CellPressNews ! An epic new cover is in the works! #sciart #DrawImpacts
