Very excited to see the first Beisaw lab publication out in its final form 🥳🥳 rdcu.be/ei1I7 if you’re interested in zebrafish heart regeneration and how cardiomyocytes replace the fibrotic injured tissue (spoiler alert: macrophages play an important role), then read it here 👇
Border-zone cardiomyocytes and macrophages regulate extracellular matrix remodeling to promote cardiomyocyte protrusion during cardiac regeneration
Nature Communications - Adult zebrafish are capable of heart regeneration, but how the collagenous injury site is replaced remains unclear. Here they provide an in-depth analysis of cardiomyocyte...

#onlywithHCR: @degrainger.bsky.social, @oliverastone.bsky.social, and their team reveal that lymphatic endothelial cells arise from specialized progenitors. #HCRimaging helped them to visualize endothelial progenitors in whole-mount mouse embryos.

My first blue update! Sharing my most recent illustration in a scientific journal.Thank you to @oliverastone.bsky.social who contacted me to adapt his concept as the cover for his paper in @naturecvr.bsky.social. These are the original design and the journal version!

Paper alert! Congrats to Lara, @cmdooley.bsky.social , @douglasadamoski.bsky.social and Thomas Juan for their great work on identifying the first example of Transcriptional Adaption in humans!🎉

1/? 🧬 New Breakthrough in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)!
Our new paper in
@Nature
reveals how utrophin—a dystrophin “backup”—is upregulated in DMD. The key? Transcriptional adaptation (TA), triggered by mutant mRNA decay, not protein loss.

If you're a non-UK scientist who wants to come to the UK for a postdoc, this year's Newton Fellowships are now open. You'll need a lab to host you (which could be me, but truly, could be any PI, so get in touch with someone you'd like to work with!)

Newton International Fellowships | Royal Society
This fellowship is for non-UK scientists who are at an early stage of their research career and wish to conduct research in the UK.
