Want to prevent cancer through research, if I persist we may get there in the end or at least I will learn something along the way. Zebrafish lab in Edinburgh study tumour initiation. Favourite cell is neutrophils. I❤️fish! I paint to relax 🎨

Check it out! NewsSplash that highlights a lot of cool zebrafishy things, including the education resource sheet (with lots of links). #education_outreach #zebrafish

#2 Close collaboration with @rocha-lab.bsky.social across institutes. @catfigueiredo.bsky.social shows that neurogenic progenitors in the developing retina can respond to cell death with an unexpected self-renewing division. I am sure Mauricio has more to say :-). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Neutrophils are my favourite immune cells, this new study brings a new amazement about these cells!! Could this be happening in more species?
What if an embryo made immune cells before it finished building the tissue they usually come from? In our new preprint, we show that annual killifish embryos specify neutrophils before germ layers are fully resolved. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Huge thanks to my PI, @ohnolog.bsky.social ! 🧵

I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language? Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries. So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together. zenodot.app

Hot off the press, after years of work by many PG and undergrads and collaborators, we present you wilth a detailed analysis of oncogenic RAS driven cellular plasticity and host immune response within 24 hours of oncogene activation in a #zebrafish model www.cell.com/cell-reports...

The @fengfishlab.bsky.social lab have found that mutation in the Ras gene can change normal cells and trigger an immune response that promotes cancer formation - all within 24 hours. This may offer new ways to detect or prevent cancer before it becomes established. edin.ac/47h6bZq
