Dear tweeps - does anyone have great experience with an alternative to the good old radioactive based labeling and membrane blotting for Souther Blot?

Excited to share our work published in @CellStemCell! After determining a way to induce TE and PrE lineages from naive PSCs w/o transgenes to make complete embryo models, we also devised a new culture condition that can maintain Epi, PrE and TE that can generate SEMs on demand.

1/n Fun journey continues: Our new @CellStemCell paper out on how the Inherent & Dormant Plasticity of mouse naive PSCs can be "Exaggerated" to Directly form ~E8.5 Transgene-Free (TF) Mouse SEMs & WITHOUT inducing 8-16-Morula-like "Embryo Founder Cells". cell.com/cell-stem-cell/full…

As a Turkish student, he has always been an idol and one of the people I look up to, and it is completely deserved. @DAcemogluMIT
“You dream of having a good career but this is over and on top of that. It’s a great surprise and honour.” Daron Acemoglu (@DAcemogluMIT) reacting to the news of his prize in economic sciences today. Congratulations to our new laureate! #NobelPrize

Developmental biology meets crystal formation science ! great work from our upstairs neighbours .
Like a master craftsman, animals can mold basic materials into a variety of crystalline structures to perform functions ranging from pattern formation to camouflage and vision. The underlying mechanisms of this process have long remained a mystery. nature.com/articles/s41589-0…
