How mammals get their fur? New research from the Milinkovitch-Tzika lab, published in PNAS, shows that chemotaxis—cells moving toward chemical cues—drives hair follicle precursor self-organization during embryonic development, generating diverse fur patterns across mammals. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Five toed chicken anyone? Nice work from @matt-towers.bsky.social & co on reconstructing the evolutionary pathway to digit loss in birds

Pleased to share our latest! We show that the chick limb can be directed to recapitulate key stages in mammalian evolution, providing a unifying model for digit patterning across amniotes. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Video summary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvL_...
