David’s @davidmoersdorf.bsky.social cool paper about the role of Chordin in BMP signaling in the sea anemone Nematostella is finally out www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Chordin-mediated BMP shuttling patterns the secondary body axis in a cnidarian
Chordin-mediated BMP shuttling is the candidate mechanism for generating bilateral symmetry in the cnidarian-bilaterian ancestor.

The anti-neural role of BMP signaling is a side effect of its global function in dorsoventral patterning
In Bilateria with centralized nervous systems (e.g. in vertebrates or arthropods), the minimum of the BMP signaling activity gradient defines the position of the central nervous system. BMP-dependent ...

Big parts of my PhD work is now out on bioRxiv!!
We look at how biophysical parameters shape the fractal lung during development and disease.
