🥂Congratulations to Luo & co for their new study in our journal showing that, upon intrahepatic biliary duct damage, gallbladder smooth muscle cells migrate to the common hepatic duct, where they promote #regeneration of the intrahepatic biliary duct. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For new followers! A pack on professional journal editors in the life sciences. go.bsky.app/Lj5TDXn

People around us voted for elimination of every tiny portion of their huge pie that we managed (not to earn but) to have a slight chance of claiming; for elimination of our right to existence and decency. Do you expect us to go back to our closets? Well, that’s NOT gonna happen.

Our new paper defining the role of H3K36 methylation in regulating cell fate and plasticity is available online: rdcu.be/d5AEc Thanks to our entire team for their tireless work and to the editors at @naturecellbiology.bsky.social for the opportunity!

Aaaaand finally: #NCB2024 In November, @ralfhadams.bsky.social & co identified a distinct subset of post-arterial #capillaries, termed type R, which contribute to trabecular #bone formation in the diaphysis and respond to anti-#osteoporosis treatments. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

☕This year, in our #CellDeath focus: Man & Kanneganti reviewed how pattern-recognition sensors in innate #ImmuneCells recognize and respond to cell-death signatures, and highlight molecular targets for potential therapeutic development. 👉https://rdcu.be/d4uDO www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#NCB2024 In November, Klein & co showed that blocking #CellDivision does not affect differentiation of major cell types during #gastrulation and segmentation. rdcu.be/d5gI8 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#NCB2024 In October, Inoue & co showed that JARID2-#PRC2 initiates H3K27me2 deposition during the 8-cell-to-morula transition, following H2AK119 mono-ubiquitylation deposition; and it is required for H3K27me3 deposition at the #blastocyst stage. rdcu.be/d491q www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#NCB2024 In October, Schuh & co devised a #LiveImaging approach to spatiotemporally dissect mouse #ovulation ex vivo. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Average German person speaks English at WHAT level? As a non-German individual living in Germany, I can 100% assure you this is NOT what I ‘ve experienced (far from it). So, either this statement is false or Germans actually can speak English, but don’t wanna do it. There are always exceptions ofc.

#NCB2024 In October, Zweigerdt, Dardano, Drakhlis & co generated human pluripotent stem cell-derived #cardiac #organoids capable of undergoing endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition and producing #hematopoietic cells. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#NCB2024 In October, @toettch.bsky.social, McNamara & co reported that, in #gastruloids, cell sorting rearranges patchy domains of Wnt activity into a single pole, which defines the anterior–posterior axis. rdcu.be/d4vk5 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#NCB2024 In September, @maitrejl.bsky.social, Schliffka, Mukherjee & co showed that in the early mouse #embryo inverse blebs grow into cells at cell–cell adhesion sites in response to luminal fluid accumulation and pressure build-up. rdcu.be/d4uCu www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hi there, my wonderful authors! From today, I will be on annual leave to return on January 8. I will try to attend to matters/questions/submissions as soon as possible upon my return. I hope you can all get some time to relax and thank you for your patience. Happy holidays! 🎄 ⛄️ ❄️

Every December, Nature puts together a list of the 10 people who helped shape science that year. This year's Nature's 10 list includes: a fraud buster, a nuclear-clock maker and a virus hunter. Find the full list of remarkable figures: www.nature.com/immersive/d4... 🧪

#NCB2024 In June, Schuh & co analyzed #proteostasis in mammalian #oocytes and ovaries: found that the maintenance of oocytes involves exceptional protein #longevity, and many of the extremely long-lived proteins decline as the ovary ages. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to see this paper out!! 🧪 Spatial transcriptomics of brain aging and 'spatial aging clocks' identify cells that have pro-aging or pro-rejuvenating effects on their neighbors! Huge CONGRATS to Eric Sun and all authors! Fantastic collaboration with @jameszou.bsky.social! rdcu.be/d33uQ 🧵

#NCB2024 In June, Meissner & co reported a lineage-tracing strategy to track #extraembryonic gut #endoderm cells over development; showed these cells are eventually eliminated in a p53-dependent manner and neighboring embryonic cells clear their remnants. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#NCB2024 In June, Liu, Xie & co profiled putative cis-regulatory elements in mouse #oocytes and pre-implantation #embryos. They further identified the transcription factors TCF3 and TCF12 as key regulators of #folliculogenesis. rdcu.be/d3NiG www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#NCB2024 In May, @knoblich-lab.bsky.social & co performed whole-tissue lineage tracing in human #cerebral #organoids to reveal that a subpopulation of symmetrically dividing cells can adjust its lineage size depending on tissue demands. #CellBio2024 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Anyone else here identifying as LGBTQIA+ in STEM? Advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights, diversity and inclusion in STEM is one of my main goals as a scientist, editor and non-binary individual. Let’s connect!

My pick this month: a study by Daley, Jing & co published by Cell Stem Cell and generating CAR iPSC-T cells with enhanced antitumor activity. rdcu.be/d3rH2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
