🚀🚀 I'm starting my own lab @ HKU ! !
The lab will be investigating how cells build complex tissues — with a focus on tissue boundaries, niche establishment, and many open questions sparked by our recent work on trunk-organoids rdcu.be/eqsho 🫡🫡
Timely TGFβ signalling inhibition induces notochord
Nature - Through analysis of developing chick embryos and in vitro differentiation of embryonic stem cells, a study develops a method to generate a model of the human trunk with a notochord.

Exhausted at the thought of having to resubmit your paper to a new journal after rejection? 🙁

Did you know you can transfer your paper+reviewers reports from any journal to any of @biologists.bsky.social journals, and get a quick decision, from editors who are working biologists 😃
