Yuri Takahashi

@ucl @parcc_inserm @Apolline_dlh @GeneticsCam @UniofOxford @UCLchildhealth And, of course, best talks including the Sammy Lee Medal awarded by his family: (1) @jake_cs_ @CrickLab, (2) Yuri Takahashi @GeneticsCam, and (3) @LastUniversalCA @CellBiol_MRCLMB. Congratulations to everyone!!

This week as part of Women’s History Month, Yuri Takahashi tells us about her love for hearts and understanding the biology behind their development ❤️ Yuri is a third-year postgraduate student, postgraduate rep and actively involved in teaching 😍 🔗gen.cam.ac.uk/womens-history…

@CrickLab Next we have Yuri Takashi from @GeneticsCam showing ex vivo induction of EMT and BMP signalling in chick embryo explants

Such an inspiring week coorganising #EGGED24 hats off to @twobluechickens for running the show with @Analia_hr and @LabGlover and thanks to all attendees for making it such a fun and rewarding experience! 🐣

@GunesTaylor Big thanks to the wonderful organisers, @GunesTaylor for being letting me steal eggs for experiments and @mostthingsbio for pateintly showing me all about node grafts, and @roslininstitute and @TheDickVet for being wonderful venues for doing awesome science :)

Beautiful models of our beautiful model! 🐣 #EGGED2024 @EMBOevents @roslininstitute @TheDickVet @NARFroslin @Co_Biologists @RoyalSocEd @HCRimaging @GenSocUK @EMSDIASUM

#EGGED2024 is clucking!!! @EMBOevents @roslininstitute @TheDickVet @NARFroslin @Co_Biologists @RoyalSocEd @HCRimaging @GenSocUK @EMSDIASUM

That’s pretty much the Steventon lab! Happy Pancake Day! 🥞

In summary, PcG genes regulate Hox genes (& a bunch of other things) in Parhyale. Our data & analyses suggest that: 1) Each Hox gene in Parhyale utilizes distinct regulation 2) There are at least 3 phases of Hox regulation 3) Yet-unknown regulatory mechanisms may exist! 24/n

The data firehose is ON & preprint #2 of 2 on crustacean Hox regulation from the Patel Lab @Parflyale is OUT! We show that Polycomb Group genes regulate the Parhyale Hox genes & that each Hox gene may have its own distinct regulatory mechanisms. 🧵1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
