The Gazave published a new article in Development:
Variations in cell plasticity and proliferation underlie distinct modes of regeneration along the antero-posterior axis in the annelid Platynereis
Abstract:
The capacity to regenerate lost tissues varies significantly among animals. Some phyla, such as the annelids, display substantial regenerating abilities, although little is known about the cellular mechanisms…

The Konstantinides Lab published a new article in CSH Perspectives:
Neuronal Circuit Evolution: From Development to Structure and Adaptive Significance
Abstract:
Neuronal circuits represent the functional units of the brain. Understanding how the circuits are generated to perform computations will help us understand how the brain functions. Nevertheless, neuronal circuits are not engineered, but have formed through…

Arrival of steppe-ancestry in the north of France observed in real-time explains the shaping of the European genome
The last major migratory wave that shaped the European genome was that of the populations from the steppes north of the Black Sea ~5,000 years. These steppe pastoralists…
