This is extra special! First contribution from our lab and my first as last author! :-) We explore how embryos buffer cell death to ensure development under stress. If you are into cellular plasticity and developmental robustness, check out how the vertebrate retina rises to the challenge.

#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...

A key example of this phenomenon across developing systems is successful organ formation even after substantia...
