Fusion of E14 chicken parabronchi! Green staining with DSHB 7D6 for L-CAM/E-cadherin stains the lung epithelium. Magenta stains for smooth muscle actin that constricts the developing parabronchi. This was imaged on a confocal microscope and is an MIP. #ShowYourWork #SeenWithDSHB #Figure1

Thank you Crystal for the kind words. 🥹 If you are studying metabolism, consider submitting to this @diffjournal.bsky.social special edition!
Wonderful talk by @kamryngerner.bsky.social at #2026SDB focused on neural crest cell lineages and novel control of the choice between Schwann cells and melanocytes! Kamryn also promoted our @diffjournal.bsky.social special issue “Metabolic Control of Cell Fate and Tissue Patterning.” Please submit!

Hey, I’ve got a childhood epilepsy R01 I’m writing - it’s mechanistic, focusing on calcium and cytoskeleton.
Waaaaay out of my wheelhouse, and I’d love to get expert’s input for my specific aims - any takers to have a quick look at my page and just absolutely wreck it?

Thiamine (vitamin B1) is essential to metabolism & deficiencies produce a condition called beriberi.
I want to tell the story of why the Japanese Army suffered from it until 1926, while the Japanese Navy did NOT after 1884.
A cautionary tale about science denialism & the resulting policy choices.

As basic science advances I’d argue that model organisms (and new model species) will become even MORE important - my lab works on free-living marine nematodes, but we’re increasingly trawling the C.elegans literature to make sense of our unexpected bacterial microbiome results!
Read this inspiring perspectives coauthored by the Worm Resource directors and worm Nobel Laureates! 4 Nobel Prizes and how they were enabled by major NIH-supported research resources (the Caenorhabditis Genetics Center, WormBase, and WormAtlas) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

$40 billion dollars is the size of the entire NIH budget.
Trump says his $40B bailout for Argentina's failing libertarian economy is "not gonna make a big difference for our country."
Really?
Imagine if we invested those billions on healthcare and housing for Americans, instead of bailing out Trump's pals abroad.

Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

Does anyone know of a beta-gal/lacZ antibody that works for IF in mouse tissues? The one we previously used that worked beautifully is discontinued 😩🧪

Disappointing to see a dear colleague’s grant terminated because of anti-DEI ideology. @lisyvila.bsky.social has spearheaded understanding lung endothelial cell heterogeneity, discovering a novel lung endothelial cell, and has groundbreaking unpublished work directly impacted by this decision.
Yesterday, I got this from NHLBI terminating my MOSAIC K99/R00. I'm in year 2 of the R00. I am appealing this decision but have very little hope that my appeal will change anything. For perspective, the grant they terminated is on the mechanisms behind endothelial cell specification in the lungs
