Iโm recruiting new members to the Farrell Lab this summer. We will have space for 1 postdoc (since Abhinav is leaving to start his own lab at U Arizona!!) and 2 postbacs, since my current two will leave for PhD programs at the end of the summer. More details in thread:
Also happy to help from the UK. @benjhogan.bsky.social and @kazebrafish.bsky.social previously generated a vascular-specific version using fli1aep. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

A brilliant PhD opportunity for all keen zebrafish enthusiasts, gene jockey and microscopy aficionados ๐๐งฌ๐ฌ
If you find joy in embryos, lasers, and watching cells do clever things โ this is your moment.
Inhibiting cytoneme formation prevents niche contact and BMP signal reactivation thus blocking germ cell dedifferentiation
A new in vitro model also illustrates how a source of BMP can promote cytoneme contact for signal activation
Now we have found that during germ cell dedifferentiation to reoccupy an empty niche, cytoneme formation becomes polarised toward the niche enabling access to stemness-promoting BMP signalling
Previously we showed that ovarian germ cells extend cytonemes and germline stem cells use these to probe their niche and access sequestered BMP

We are hiring! A postdoc position is available in the lab studying gene expression dynamics in Drosophila embryos, as part of a larger research effort in collaboration with @mrattray.bsky.social ๐งฌ๐ฌ๐ชฐ
Full details are in the ad: www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...
Our new paper describes how SunTag imaging of mRNA translation can be used to study ribosome pausing in development. We also adapt the system to study translation of a secreted protein. Work done in collaboration with @mrattray.bsky.social and @markashe.bsky.social
doi.org/10.1242/jcs....
Is there more to defining the eve stripes in the Drosophila embryo than just transcriptional regulation? We provide evidence that spatially regulated mRNA decay is also important.
Still working on it, but now we are on bluesky I want to share our current preprint with you on"Local optogenetic NMYII activation within the zebrafish neural rod results in long range, asymmetric force propagation". www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
๐ขโผ๏ธ Exciting new preprint from the lab by @nikhil-mishra.bsky.social et al, now out on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social, reveals that the early embryo geometry spatiotemporally patterns zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in zebrafish. ๐ tinyurl.com/Biorxiv-nmis...
