1/n Our papers on BMP signaling dynamics in the neural tube and protocol for 2D neural tube organoids are out! 🔬🧫 doi.org/10.1016/j.devc… 👩‍🔬⚙️doi.org/10.1016/j.xpro… Work by @Steffi Lehr, @d_brueckner, @jmerrin, @EdouardHannezo, @KichevaLab.

Anna Kicheva and Florian Schur promoted to professors. @KichevaLab researches pattern formation & size regulation in animal organs, focusing on the developing vertebrate spinal cord. @SchurLab explores the structural biology of cell migration and viral infection. Congratulations!

Congratulations on the new publications. Read more 🔗 ista.ac.at/en/news/a-matt…

9/n Many thanks to everyone involved including the ISTA facilities.

8/n This way, the initial BMP signaling information is temporally relayed, making neural tube development temporally organized while allowing the pathway to be reused in different contexts.

🚨We are recruiting!🚨 We are currently looking for postdoctoral researchers to join our group to investigate events during early development of the neural tube. Sound interesting? See more: ista.ac.at/en/job/postdoc…

7/7 For more details check out the paper doi.org/10.1371/journa…. Special thanks to everyone involved, including our collaborator Marcin Zagorski, and the facilities at @ISTAustria .

6/7 This mechanism of source formation in which specification and growth are temporally separated, could provide scaling of morphogen gradient amplitudes with tissue growth.

Our paper “Dynamics of morphogen source formation in a growing tissue” with first authors R. Ho and K. Kishi is published in @PLOSCompBiol 🎉 We show that the floor plate of the vertebrate neural tube forms in two phases: rapid specification followed by growth. 🧵1/7
