How does gene expression change during regeneration? Are specific enhancers activated or is there extensive genome re-modelling? Working with the team of Guillermo Orsi, we show that insect (cricket) and crustacean (Parhyale) genomes become re-modelled on a genome-wide scale.

Here is our new collaborative paper on the origin of cholinergic and monoaminergic signaling. The data suggest that biogenic amine signaling is thus not a bilaterian innovation but an ancient mode of cellular communication that evolved from generalist to […] [Original post on biologists.social]

Proud dad time! My lovely daughter Anna has just published her first paper - as first AND corresponding author! @janetahlberg.bsky.social and I are bursting with admiration. The paper, from her Masters thesis, deals with hyena-livestock encounters.🧪 conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
