Pax9 has a broader role in initiating development of mesenchymal structures around the mouth during zebrafish development

By Sandhya Paudel, Sarah McLeod, Stefani Gjorcheska, Lindsey Barske

tinyurl.com/yc3jfpux
Cartoon of Pax9 expression (purple) during facial development in mouse (left) and zebrafish (right). Text: Mammals. Pax9 is expressed In tooth-forming mesenchyme around the mouth. Required for tooth formation in mouse and human. Fish. Pax9 is also expressed in oral mesenchyme in fishes. But many fish do not form oral teeth. Vestigial expression or divergent function? Result: pax9 is required for formation of upper jaw bones and barbels in zebrafish, but dispensable for non-oral teeth. Support ancestral function in building peri-oral structures from condensed mesenchyme rather than a specific requirement for teeth

Modern biology research is biased towards investigating genes that are widely conserved and present in humans. What about genes that ARE widely conserved but NOT present in humans? Can genes missing from humans tell us something about what makes our biology different from that of other animals? 1/8

I really informative article on program officers, scientists working for the #NIH that play a role in making sure policies are followed, tax $ are used wisely. They translate broad public priorities, set by Congress into applicable & fundable science.

The path to this paper has so many stories.

Today I want to tell one about the value of saying so when you don't have the answer - and of the importance of community.

Our most recent study shows that stem cells in Schmidtea mediterranea do not rely on physical contacts or fixed structures to maintain their identity and regenerative potential.

What is RNA velocity in situ? ChatGPT kept getting it wrong...

So I made this video explaining how RNA velocity in situ infers gene expression dynamics by distinguishing nuclear vs. cytoplasmic expression in spatial transcriptomics data: youtu.be/z9Oxf1hvum0

It's mushroom season in the Northern Hemisphere 🍄

Here's a look at the chemistry of arguably the most iconic mushroom, fly agaric, and what makes them so brightly coloured and hallucinogenic: www.compoundchem.com/2024/11/11/f...

#ChemSky 🧪
Infographic on fly agaric mushrooms, with an image of the mushrooms in the middle (red with white spots). The chemical structures of the mushroom's pigments are shown, including muscarufin, the primary pigment responsible for their red colour. The compounds behind the mushrooms' psychoactive properties, ibotenic acid and muscimol, are also shown. These compounds imitate neurotransmitters in the brain to exert their effects.

Schwann cells in peripheral nerves help bone healing by transforming into MSCs, which aid bone growth and blood vessel repair. This process is driven by Shh signaling. This discovery could enhance bone regeneration in aging or disease.👍
