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!
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?

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
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.
