The cerebral cortex that is reading this sentence (yours, to be explicit) did not come out of nowhere. It has evolved over hundreds of millions of years... To study this evolutionary process, we decided to focus on non-avian reptiles for our new paper in Cerebral Cortex 🐢🦎🧠 🧵

1/5 📢New paper from our group! We are excited to share our latest work, now published in Cell Reports ✨ What's new? Using zebrafish, a non-mammalian vertebrate model, we show that the requirement for TGF-b signaling in microglia development has been maintained throughout vertebrate evolution.

Honored to receive the Postdoc Winston Fellow Competition Award from the Department of Ophthalmology at WashU. This award followed my presentation on the requirement of DNA demethylation for retinal development, cell‑fate specification, differentiation, and function. The best is yet to come!

Not many people know this but 🐸 embryos make an amazing system to study immune cells. If 🐟 embryos become less transparent as they grow, 🐸 embryos do the reverse, becoming progressively transparent. Their immune cells are very similar to 🐟 and 🚶‍♂️. Here are some 🐸 macrophages (🔴): #FluorescenceFriday
