We’re incredibly excited to present our work investigating the role of metabolism in mammalian development, out now in @Nature showing two state-specific spatiotemporal waves of glucose activity guiding mouse gastrulation

The Musser lab site is live! Signs of life confirmed! Hello world!! 👋 We study how organisms evolved specialized cell types & orchestrate complex behav., in sponges, sea anemone and other early-branching animals. Find us in CT (or in your ponds & lakes)

RT @UlrichTechnau: Cnidarians are supposed to be diploblastic. In this new ms we show that in the sea anemone Nematostella the interplay of…

RT @jvveenvliet: 📢 Check our new piece! We conceptualize stem-cell-based embryo models as developmental monstrosities, which can uncover ‘h…

With the current emphasis on 'perfect' and 'complete' stem-cell-based embryo models, we take a step back to think about how imperfect forms can key us in on hidden rules underlying development and embryogenesis. Join us on this historical walk through Alberch's Logic of Monsters.

@armanafzadeh @Nature Thank you!! ☺️

@trevor_sorrells @valentatormenta @Nature Thank you Trevor!! 🥰

@NeophChr @BernaSozen_ @Nature Thank you Neo!! 😌

@BailWeatherbee @Nature Thank you Bailey! So nice of you to say :)

@SCI123454321 @Nature Thank you!

@yanandrewc @Nature Thanks Andrew 🫶🏻 hugs :)

@t_n_kohler @Nature Thank you Timo!!

RT @BernaSozen_: Our latest out today @Nature! We revisit a century-old theory and show that metabolic gradients work hand-in-hand with gen…

Overall we discover and thoroughly explore two spatiotemporal waves of glucose utilization guiding gastrulation, calling important attention to the often overlooked role of metabolism as an instructive force in development.

@dd_chaitanya Congrats Chaitanya!!!
