Dr. Miki Ebisuya (@EbisuyaMiki) has done it again! 🎉
Her lab has recapitulated the #SegmentationClock of six mammals using pluripotent stem cells.

Why do mice develop so much faster than humans?
Researchers from EMBL Barcelona & @riken_en have found one reason: the segmentation clock in mouse cells runs about 2.5 times as fast, and so do biochemical reactions in the different cellular environments.

📢 Do individual cells of the segmentation clock behave autonomously or is cell-cell communication required? What is the role of delays? Check out an exciting new review from our lab @ELS_CellBiology

Throwback to October 2018.
Again on my way to a @GfEeV conference. This time in beautiful Vienna. I'm especially excited to see (and maybe even meet) @PourquieOlivier, eminent authority in the field of #somitogenesis & #segmentationclock! #GfEIsSDB19
