New lab paper out! 😀

We describe a new benchtop technique to isolate microRNAs from various cell types in a complex tissue (like the developing CNS). This is a fruitful collab with the Cremer lab from @ibdm.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plosgenetics... 1/n 🧵

In vivo AGO-APP identifies a module of microRNAs cooperatively preserving neural progenitors

Author summary MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that silence messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by binding to partially complementary sequences. They play a crucial role in cell type specification during develop...

Excited to share our latest work with @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social .

A global #cis-regulatory temporal program guides how spatial cues are interpreted in neural progenitors. We show how #space and #time can be integrated to generate cell type diversity in the #spinalcord.

Congrats to all authors.

UCL Faculty of Life Sciences @ucllifesciences.bsky.social · Jul 21

A study from @crick.ac.uk and @ucllifesciences.bsky.social reveals how timing mechanisms, not just spatial cues, shape cell identity during spinal cord development. The findings open up new avenues for both basic developmental biology and clinical applications.
