New insight on gonad morphogenesis ! Our new paper reveals how germ & somatic cells interact through TGF-Beta feedback loop to drive gonad morphogenesis in Hydractinia. Check out the full paper in Science Advances ! tinyurl.com/245rw699

Gonads and germ cells have an interdependent relationship in the cnidarian #Hydractinia. Germ cells secrete a TGF-beta ligand (called Gonadless) to induce and maintain the somatic gonad; gonads activate Tfap2 in pluripotent stem cells (i-cells) to commit them to germ fate tinyurl.com/245rw699

A previous study in @plosbiology.org found that Wnt receptors are housed in early endosomes and required for dendritic #microtubule nucleation. This Update Article shows that microtubule dynamics in #dendrites can be influenced non-autonomously by surrounding epithelial cells 🧪 plos.io/3DK0M0J
