It’s usually quite ok actually. I’ve taken numerous flights from there and for the most part had no problem. This hack has derailed everything though. Flying on Tuesday, let’s see 😬

Nice work by Hamazaki and Shendure labs showing assembly of A-P human gastruloids following an approach quite analogous to ours (minus hypoxia biology). Sadly our study is not cited 🤔

Peer review is not a "stamp of approval" or a certification of 'truth'; it's a pressure test, and the pressure applied varies by venue. And, ultimately, a paper published in a journal is just a reflection of what an editor thought would be *useful* to their community.

Ever wondered how to get a gastruloid to grow a head?

The Bulut-Karslioğlu lab figured out that by growing different stem cell aggregates in high and low oxygen and later assembling them, you can get gastruloids with a fully formed neural tube. Check out our "In preprints": doi.org/10.1242/dev....

How did the bat get its wings? New research from a collaboration between the labs of Stefan Mundlos (MPIMG), Dario G. Lupiáñez, and Francisca M. Real (@cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social) show how genetic programs were reused during the evolution of mammalian flight. --> www.molgen.mpg.de/news-2025-fl...
