Spatiotemporal coordination of Slit-Robo repulsion and neurturin-Gfrα attraction guides multipolar migration during retinal lamination Multipolar migration is a conserved neuronal migration mode in the developing brain, enabling emerging neurons to navigate in crowded environments and…

Check out the tour de force by @jalehtimaki.bsky.social in its final form: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... . An elegant combination of transcriptomics, F0 screens and high end imaging unravels the cues that guide cells (here retinal horizontal cells) in an increasingly crowded tissue. #proudPI

In the spirit 👻 of Freaky Friday 🎃, here is a beautiful yet eery video of zebrafish retina development showing horizontal cells (🔵) finding their way out of the crowded amacrine (🟠) layer to settle beneath the photoreceptors. Happy #Halloween!

Definitely the best lab ever 🥰

Pls spread the word! We have a postdoc position available in the Rocha Lab @mpi-muenster.bsky.social. Join our team to study mechanisms underlying robust organ development using zebrafish embryos and human organoids.

A long overdue get together to celebrate the arrival of summer. Great company fun conversations, we all learned a lot…😉. Take note that @catfigueiredo.bsky.social has her eyes (well at least one) open! This was the only one out of 12 pictures…her secret super power!
