Farewell Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics After a month of sun, sand and self-organisation I'm heading home with lots of new ideas & friends. Thanks to all the participants.

Can metabolic processes instruct cell fate decision making during embryonic development? In our new preprint, we show an important role of glycolytic activity for the development of endoderm and mesoderm through the regulation of Nodal and Wnt signalling. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our work establishes that divergent metabolic states underlie phenotypic variation. We coordinated preprint release w/ Kristina Stapornwongkul Trivedi Lab Miki Ebisuya, who use gastruloids to show a role of glycolytic activity in mesoderm induction.👇x.com/KStapornwongku… (13/17)

It’s amazing how well these findings align with our previous publication showing increased tissue representation in hypoxic gastruloids. In ESCs glycolysis itself does not induce a PS signature (as hypoxia does), which means that it works further down during differentiation.

In their Method of the Year 2023 Comment, Idse Heemskerk and colleagues discuss recent advances in methods to dissect the forces within a developing embryo. #moty2023 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Student leaving to do a post doc when you need them to finish the revisions

I cannot stress enough how benefitial this conference can be for ECR looking to transition into group leasers. Just a reminder, there is only a month left to submit your abstract. Remember that you have to submit a video abstact!

This is a warning for all academic institutions: theregister.com/2024/08/08/ana… Switch to Miniforge ...

HaaseLab is looking for a new recruit. Apply now!
