It was a pleasure to host @glgalea.bsky.social for a seminar today @dcu-lsi.bsky.social.
Gabe gave a very enganging talk linking neural tube closure with stochastic asymmetries in embryo geometry and developmental robustness.
Thank you all for joining!
New paper alert!🤩Super proud that our story led by superstar postdocs @liujinghui.bsky.social and @nerlielisa.bsky.social is finally out! We found how electrical signals are key for promoting organ regenerative growth!!! A thread 🧵https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aec0687
We are thrilled to announce our new preprint from the wonderful @sorayavillaseca.bsky.social
Ever wondered how cells squeeze through tiny spaces in embryos?
Neural crest cells use Dynein to transport their nucleus along microtubules.
Check out the preprint!!

Pérez-Verdugo et al. show that hindbrain neuropore closure is driven by surface ectoderm
actomyosin purse-string tension and active migration. These forces create reproducible
