The Poulain lab (www.poulainlab.org) at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC seeks talented and motivated postdocs! We use zebrafish as a vertebrate model system and a unique combination of genetic, embryological and live imaging approaches to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms of axon guidance and degeneration during the formation of neural circuits in vivo.[…]

Yunlu Zhu & Sarah Kucenas Introduction Cells are the building blocks of life. However, in multi-cellular organisms, millions of cells are subject to death due to injury, infection and ordinary cell turnover (Galluzzi et al., 2018). For example, epithelial cells in the small intestine rapidly renew every 2 to 6 days in most mammals,[…]

Written by Tugba Colak-Champollion Story behind our recent paper in Current Biology “Cadherin-Mediated Cell Coupling Coordinates Chemokine Sensing across Collectively Migrating Cells” (Tugba Colak-Champollion, Ling Lan, Alisha R. Jadhav, Naoya Yamaguchi, Gayatri Venkiteswaran, Heta Patel, Michael Cammer, Martin Meier-Schellersheim, Holger Knaut) Guided cell migration is a crucial event in many biological and mechanical processes.[…]

By Dörthe Jülich & Scott Holley Organizers pattern surrounding tissues via secreted morphogens that specify different cell states as a function of concentration. Wolpert’s French Flag model is commonly used to describe how morphogen gradients specify different fates. Our recent study integrates tail organizer signaling with control of morphogenesis during vertebrate body elongation (Das,[…]

This obituary by Colin Johnson recently appeared in Development. Jarema Malicki, a pioneer in developmental studies of the vertebrate retina, died on 4th January 2019, shortly after being diagnosed with cancer. Here, I reflect on Jarema’s life and work, with a particular focus on his research interests in zebrafish as a model organism for vertebrate[…]

The Rieger lab is searching for a postdoctoral scholar in the Biology Department at the University of Miami. The postdoctoral scholar will be working on mechanisms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy using primarily zebrafish as a model system. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a side effect of chemotherapy that affects 60-70% of patients for which currently no[…]
