RegVelo, an #AI model developed by an international team including researchers in the @saukaspengler.bsky.social Lab, helps identify the genes that influence how cells develop and change over time – highlighted by the Chosun Daily as a promising advance for regenerative medicine: bit.ly/4e2o9kF
Postdoc in the @planaria1.bsky.social Lab, Jorge Moreno, investigates aging and regeneration in the so-called "immortal jellyfish," searching for clues about longevity, rejuvenation, and the diversity of life. 🪼

This week's beautiful #MicroscopyMonday is a juvenile Nematostella with stinging cells labeled with eGFP (green). (@mgstowers.bsky.social Lab)
Summer at @mblscience.bsky.social 🌊 Stowers Fellow Nelson Hall and @stowersgrad.bsky.social student in the @planaria1.bsky.social Lab Dung Vuu are helping train the next generation of developmental biologists – from collecting specimens to exploring the earliest stages of life.
This #MicroscopyMonday is an adult fly #brain, labeled in orange is the mushroom body, the memory center in flies, and the neurons on the sides are part of the medulla of the eye, essential for color vision. (Si Lab) 🧠
Scientists found sea cucumber tissues that survive, swim, & change shape in lab dishes for years. 🧫 In @smithsonianmag.bsky.social, Pres & CSO @planaria1.bsky.social highlighted the most remarkable takeaway is the sustained coordination of complex biological processes still happening: bit.ly/3RDd9ml
Could the secret to understanding #immortality be a sea cucumber? 🌊🥒
In a new feature via @sciam.bsky.social, President and CSO @planaria1.bsky.social, provides expert insight on a new marine #regeneration study and what it takes to truly define "biological immortality."

Jellyfish, stingers, and #science storytelling. 🪼
Gibson Lab postdoc @gelatinoussting.bsky.social recently shared her #research with the #KansasCity community at Science Over Spirits.
An incredible evening of music in the Library 🎶
Last night, members and guests of the Stowers community gathered for Experiments in Sound featuring vocalist Ron Gutierrez, whose soulful performance brought together influences from jazz, R&B, country, and pop for a memorable night at the Institute.
RegVelo AI Predicts Cell Fate and Key Genes RegVelo aids regenerative medicine, cancer research by identifying gene drivers
Chunks removed from the marine creatures more than three years ago haven't degraded and show signs of biological activity, raising questions about what it means to be alive
