Still time to submit abstracts —due March 16!— for our Comparative #Cartilage & #Bone Biology (CCBB) conference (ccbb-conference.com).
A forward-thinking, interactive and inclusive conference for lovers of skeletal (and dental) tissues.
Cutting edge work on #skeletalbiology, intimate discussions and great wine in southern France, 10-13 June, 2025. We’re raising funds to keep registration costs low, especially for junior researchers.
DM me with questions!

New paper!
Our stick insects have weird chromosome segregation.
The major centromere protein, CenH3, binds to the autosomes in a monocentric pattern, but in a holocentric pattern on the X.

How do #stingrays produce blue, nature's rarest color?
Our paper tinyurl.com/stingblue in @AdvOpticalMat shows the mechanism: a combo of melanin a unique #structuralcolor cell, with a #coreshell #photonicglass structure
