One of the reasons I am so happy with our current roof top apartment is that it has Betonkerntemperierung. Without any air conditioning it has a very consistent temperature with a maximum of 23C even in the middle of summer.
Join us on June 18 at ISTA for a day dedicated to developmental and stem cell biology, with talks, poster sessions, flash talks, and opportunities to connect across the Vienna life science community. More. 👇

Cargo bikes give you a chance to explore the area with your kids, stop for a picnic, and get a bit of exercise in.
Using axoltol tail bud amputations we identify a developmental transition from regeneration-incompetent to regeneration-competent between stage 30-34. This transition occurs independently of changes in the NMP population and surprisingly, Tbxt mutants regenerate even longer tails at competent stages
So between a SC and TF antibody, which one would you choose?

Massive shoutout to first author @abinagui.bsky.social !!!
The common view is that regenerative competence declines with age. We challenge this idea by showing that axolotl tail regenerative competence is emerges during a defined embryonic window. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
🚨Can embryos regenerate their tails? A question I had.
With support from @biologists.bsky.social, Val Wilson, Elly Tanaka and Wouter🙏, I visited Vienna to start by cutting axolotl embryo tail buds.
The answer: Not always!😮...Sparking a fun and exciting collaboration that is only the beginning.

Spent the last hour looking, found ten more apparently manipulated Western blots in Thermo Fisher's antibody verification data (across eight different catalogued products). Thread below.

TIL heat is really killing a lot of people in Europe.
