Replying to @DeepakNModi
@DeepakNModi gave a fabulous talk on HOXA10 & its role in partial EMT during embryo implantation at the InSDB-ISD 2025 meeting. Fascinating story peppered with very "Deepak Modi" humour that cracked everyone up & kept them engaged! @InSDB_79 @biopatrika

Notch and Wnt signalling interact for proper prosensory and non-sensory domain formation biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #biorxiv_devbio

Notch and Wnt signalling interact for proper prosensory and non-sensory domain formation

The prosensory domain (PSD) of the developing inner ear develops into the sensory hair cells, supporting cells, and neurons necessary for hearing and balance. Although Notch–Jag1 signalling is known...

As the world’s diabetes capital, India must ask: Where do we stand in human stem cell research? Read on 👉 buff.ly/VDwHA6t Despite India’s endorsement of animal-free, human-relevant research, our progress in human stem cell science remains slow. @CSIR_IND @ccmb_csir @AIC_CCMB @KobeScienceBoy @NCBS_Bangalore @IiserTirupati @InSDB_79
