Unlike the embryos of other vertebrates, early snake embryos coil as they get longer, typically forming clockwise spirals. A new study offers an explanation for why embryonic snakes go through these contortions—and why they tend to curve in one direction. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4ygkAQk

My first paper is officially out in @currentbiology.bsky.social ! We found that snake embryos coil due to a mismatch in growth rates between the gut and spine. This tight coil is one of the reasons why snakes are able to get so long. Read the paper here!

Ever wondered why snake embryos coil?🐍 A beautifully simple question with a fascinating answer: a growth mismatch between body & gut shapes the coil Our study from @helsinki-biotech.bsky.social @helsinki.fi with T. Miyashita & R.E. Diaz in @currentbiology.bsky.social www.cell.com/current-biol...
