Interesting study. Bowhead whales maintain genome integrity through enhanced DNA repair, supported by high CIRBP expression that promotes efficient double-strand break repair. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Evidence for improved DNA repair in long-lived bowhead whale - Nature
Analysis of the longest-lived mammal, the bowhead whale, reveals an improved ability to repair DNA breaks, mediated by high levels of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein.  &nbs...

New type of self-assembloid? Once again, amazed at how rapidly the field of stem-cell-based embryoid models is developing.
New paper from my lab and @jshendure.bsky.social lab! Led by the brilliant @zukailiu.bsky.social and @cxqiu.bsky.social. We tackled how anterior and posterior progenitor cells cooperate to self-organize into an embryonic structure (termed AP-gastruloid). (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Read later. Many related questions have emerged in my mind, let's wait and see.

Unraveling this enhancer's role in mouse embryo development was a journey of trials and awe. DevBio is full of mysteries waiting to be explored--nothing brings me more joy than diving into these questions! 🤩
p-Enh story finally out today! We found a key enhancer in Cdx2 driving posterior tissue development in mouse embryos via the balancing mechanism (in cis & in trans). #DevBio #ILoveBio
Thrilled to share our most recent work concerning the mechanistic study of developmental enhancers. Cis or trans may be a spatial-temporal choice 😁😁😁
