Atlas of amnion development during the first trimester of human pregnancy - Nature Cell Biology
Hu et al. use single-cell RNA sequencing to explore the transcriptional profile of human amnion samples spanning the developmental window from Carnegie stage (CS)16 to CS23.

1. Because this issue is critical, but has received remarkably little coverage, here's a thread pulling out the key themes from my article yesterday, on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which puts decades of environmental protections to the torch. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot
The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

In case you missed it, check out our recent preprint on developmental timing and how slower means bigger, axons that is!

Calcium dynamics tune developmental tempo to generate evolutionarily divergent axon tract lengths
The considerably slow pace of human brain development correlates with an evolutionary increase in brain size, cell numbers, and expansion of neuronal structures, with axon tracts undergoing an even gr...
