The group of prof. Giuseppe Ianiri at the University of Molise (Campobasso, Italy) has an open position starting as soon as possible. The topic of the research is the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms involved in the antagonistic acitivity of biocontrol agents

Delighted to have our study featured in @PNASNews Front Matter!
Many thanks to @carolynmbeans for the insightful interview about our work on how mechano-chemical couplings of cells intricately contribute to the patterning of developing lungs.

Dr Rory Cooper gave a fascinating talk today about the development of crocodile head scales and the role played by mechanical forces in the process! 🐊
Thank you for this great seminar with mesmerizing images @rorylcooper !

It was a an absolutely fantastic meeting. Thank you for all your help and all the work you and the organizers put in!
#EZM2023 It took a year for organisers and several months for volunteers to prepare everything. From Thursday when we collected the badges and had to sort them alphabetically to the last day of the conference, it passed so quickly no matter the amount of work put everyday [1/2]

Safe travels to everyone on their way to Krakow! Please remember to use #EZM2023 in your tweets 🙏

I recently interviewed a strong candidate.
She generously credited other researchers whose methods enabled her research. This created a strong positive impression about her.
Deservingly crediting others does not diminish our contributions.
◼️It frames them in a helpful context.

🔊 Attention PhD students and Postdocs! 🔊
We are excited to announce that we have been awarded the Swiss-ERC Starting Grant, which will be active until 2028. We are seeking 1-3 outstanding individuals per year, starting in 2023, 👇 (1/3)

Check out our new paper from first author and recent PhD graduate @LauraBocaM.
See how interkinetic nuclear movements give rise to tissue fluidisation in an epithelium.

Resection, cryoinjury and genetic ablation are current models to study heart regeneration in zebrafish. Are all models eliciting the same transcriptional response, or are there injury-specific gene expression profiles? Our first attempt and small step aiming at providing answers

Lab website is ready! We are looking for passionate and creative team players to join the group (postdoc and grad student positions available). Please RT /1 @GladstoneInst @UCSF @UCSFPediatrics

See in #ScienceAdvances our new @Hydra monster where tentacles get transformed to feet when the transcription factor Zic4 that promotes tentacle formation and prevents epithelial transdifferentiation is down-regulated! science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
ALT Picture of a Hydra polyp few days after the Zic4 and Sp5 genes are down-regulated. The head region (apical) is on the right and the foot one (basal) on the left. In the head region, the asterisk indicates the mouth opening and the red arrowheads point to tentacles transformed into feet, characterised by peroxidase activity. Note also the presence of ectopic feet along the body column. Congratulations Matthias Vogg and all colleagues !
