The signal that got through In this 'Behind the paper' story, Max Wilson @maxzwilson and Marianne Bauer discuss their journey and transatlantic collaboration, which culminated in their latest paper on anti-resonance in developmental signalling. thenode.biologists.com/the-signal-tha…

New evo-devo textbook 'Eco-Evo-Devo: The Environmental Regulation of Development, Evolution, and Health' 📗In this post on the Node, Scott F. Gilbert announces a new eco-evo-devo textbook. ⬇️ thenode.biologists.com/new-evo-devo-t… #DevBio

Currently my favorite video from the lab... Mapping of blood vessels and nerves in whole embryos of rhesus macaque. They form scale-free fractals of dimensions 3 and 2, independently of development stage. More here: biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

What if the human body is making far more proteins than we ever realized? A new collaboration from the @BazziniLab published in @Nature explores the “dark proteome” — hidden regions of the #genome that appear to produce thousands of previously overlooked microproteins. Some may help #cancer cells survive. Others could become targets for future vaccines and immunotherapies. 💉 🔗 Read here: bit.ly/4d77ugB
