1/9 Thrilled to share that our paper, “Origin of Ewing sarcoma by embryonic reprogramming of neural crest to mesoderm,” is now published in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! @amatrudalab.bsky.social @crumplab.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Origin of Ewing sarcoma by embryonic reprogramming of neural crest to mesoderm

Using a zebrafish genetic model of Ewing sarcoma, Vasileva et al. provide evidence for a neural crest origin of the disease. These findings offer new insight into how a single oncogenic fusion can hij...

Menstruation- a natural regenerative process in women, yet understudied and under discussed. But, this phenomenal work is a start for making all the difference 🎉

We built the first transgenic model of menstruation in mice.
We used it to uncover how the endometrium organizes and sheds during menstruation. 🧪

Induction of menstruation in mice reveals the regulation of menstrual shedding

During menstruation, an inner layer of the endometrium is selectively shed, while an outer, progenitor-containing layer is preserved to support repeated regeneration. Progress in understanding this co...

I am thrilled to share our latest story led by the incredibly talented Brooke D’Arcy and Camila Musso. We discover a rich world of local gene expression in radial glia, essential neural and glial precursors, and develop a new method for sub-cellular mRNA manipulation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New preprint from the lab! We discovered a transient fluidization in the basal region of human forebrains by tracking microdroplets in cerebral organoids.This “basal fluidization”, absent in gorilla and mouse, may contribute to greater surface expansion in human forebrains

I absolutely loved reading this one recently!

The authors show how AMPK (which is traditionally viewed as an stress-activated kinase) is also developmentally regulated by circulating adenosine levels in Drosophila.

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Remote control of AMPK via extracellular adenosine controls tissue growth - Nature Cell Biology

Zhang et al. demonstrate that AMPK can be activated by signalling metabolite, adenosine, under non-stress conditions during Drosophila development. The intestine regulates adenosine levels, thus, remotely controlling wing disc AMPK activation and growth.
