Very happy to share our latest work in Nature Communications where we identify two limb
progenitor populations involved in congential and evolutionary digit variations. Congratulations to all authors 🍾🥂 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Three scientists at different stages of their career. It has been an honour being part of their journey. Beautify paper ❤️
We spoke to first author Jonas Malkmus and co-corresponding authors Rolf Zeller, Emeritus Professor @unibas.ch and former group leader of the Developmental Genetics group, and Rushi Sheth, Senior Scientist in the lab and project lead, to find out more.

Teeth first evolved as sensory tissue in the armored exoskeletons of ancient fish, fossil scans find
Anyone who has ever squirmed through a dental cleaning can tell you how sensitive teeth can be. This sensitivity gives important feedback about temperature, pressure—and yes, pain—as we bite and chew ...

Closing our Barcelona lab is bittersweet. These seven years were amazing—thanks to EMBL Barcelona and the fantastic lab members/collaborators, I launched my dream projects of Synthetic Dev Bio and Stem Cell Zoo. Now, we’re taking them to PoL Dresden!

Very happy to have caught Rolf Zeller in flagrante doing an experiment in the lab under Angela’s watchful supervision. Can’t wait to see the result tomorrow 😃 A flavour of more things to come 😃
