During #development, distal visceral #endoderm (DVE) cells migrate to shape A-P axis specification. @m-stower.bsky.social @srinivas-lab.bsky.social &co reveal the role of Ca2+ dynamics in this, showing that inhibition of #calcium transients causes DVE arrest @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nHWxF4
Epiblast Ca2+ waves propagate from the apical to basal domain. The images show selected time points from movies of E5.5 GCaMP6f embryos imaged using a ZEISS lattice light-sheet 7 microscope. Top row: An example of an epiblast wave involving a large proportion of the tissue captured by imaging a volume of the embryo at 20-s intervals. A total of 9/16 embryos showed at least one epiblast Ca2+ wave. Bottom row: Faster imaging at 5-s interval revealed that the Ca2+ wave in the epiblast can be preceded by a transient in a neighboring VE cell—this was observed in 5/19 events from 9 embryos (white arrowheads).

Great to see that Tribe with Bruce Parry is coming back for a new limited series - this was a landmark programme in 2005-2008. Absolutely worth a look. www.bbc.com/mediacentre/...
Bruce Parry returns to the Tribe for BBC Two and iPlayer
After more than a decade away from TV, the filmmaker and indigenous rights advocate has a brand new three part series on the BBC

I am recruiting an #ERC funded PostDoc to work on the evolution of vertebral counts in cichlids. This is an experimental project & will be looking for candidates with experience generating reporter lines, live-imaging and experimental embryology.
Application deadline: 25th Feb.

A great meeting. Thanks to the organisers for selecting my short talk in such a packed schedule! Great fun as ever discussing development and cell science with everyone over the last few days in Liverpool #biologists100
