Replying to @AftingCassian
@AftingCassian, @ToWalther, @c_schlagheck, @SchwarzUlrich, @JWittbr, @KGoepfrich developed DNA microbeads for precise signal control in #organoids. Published in @NatureNano, this innovation advances tissue modeling & light-controlled signals. 🧬 doi.org/10.1038/s41565-024-0… #Nanotech

New platform enables in vivo 3D laser printing of microimplants using synthetic polymer inks. We showed in fish and fly embryos that this minimal-invasive technique opens doors for direct tissue engineering in various organisms #BioEngineering #3DPrinting doi.org/10.1002/advs.2024011…

Southernblot FTW! #CRISPR #HDR
If you desperately need to explain the problem of in vitro recombination in #PCR fooling many to believe #CRISPR/#HDR events went smooth, use the remainder space on your poster 😂 read up here for fish elifesciences.org/articles/3… & here for the mouse academic.oup.com/nar/article… #GfE2024

Are you a #DevBio researcher in Germany? Have you joined @GfEeV as a member yet?👇
13 Mar 2024
The member councils of the GfE and DSDB just met to discuss future plans #GfE2024. Common topic: high fluctuation of members. Join societies to support us in supporting events and young scientists - it's your annual fee that allows us to. Become a member: vbio.de/gfe-entwicklungsbiol…

Wer wollte nicht gern als Schüler mal einen Laborkittel überwerfen und erleben wie es ist an der Uni zu forschen ? Genau das ermöglicht unsere Bertalanffy Practical auf das sich Schüler der Oberstufe gerne bewerben können. Wir freuen uns gemeinsam mit euch zu forschen!

Just published @Dev_journal, Kaisa (@kaisa_pakari) presents our "inception" approach to target previously inaccessible nucleotides with base-editing at the 1st Heidelberg #CRISPR mini symposium @MKolleg today - link to paper: journals.biologists.com/dev/…

Here it is: our #inception paper @Dev_journal „De novo PAM generation to reach initially inaccessible target sites for base editing“ by @kaisa_pakari & @_ThomThum_ We use 2 guides & 2 editors to edit distant nucleotides with NGG base-editors journals.biologists.com/dev/… #medaka #DNA

This one-shot, two step approach uses sequential base editing. The 1st editor introduces a new PAM motif that is picked up by a 2nd editor to edit 27-36nts upstream of the original PAM. This method increases targeting flexibility across all genomes by 65% #genomeediting #CRISPR

Controls and Illumina seq show predictable & robust editing at the 2nd site only after new PAM creation. We demonstrate staggered non-synonymous codon changes and early STOP codons, removal of a splice acceptor and locally confined multi-codon editing to cause allelic variance.
