Morphogens in the evolution of size, shape and patterning
In this Review, Lewis Mosby, Amy Bowen and @z_hvas @TheCrick @UCL explore how morphogen-mediated patterning evolve and how theory and experiment can be interwoven to bring new perspectives:

What a fantastic couple of days at the London Math Biology Conference hearing all about the very diverse applications of maths in biology. Watch this space for the UK-wide event next fall. Huge thanks to @pearce_maths, @2piruben + @TheCrick events team and all the presenters 💥

To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author Charlotte Manser @clmanser and corresponding author Ruben Perez-Carrasco, @2piruben group leader @imperialcollege @ImperialLifeSci:
journals.biologists.com/dev/…
ALT Picture of the last lab trip, a visit to Bletchley Park. The statue in the picture is of Alan Turing, who, in addition to helping crack the German coded messages during WWII, also worked in biomathematics and actually coined the term ‘morphogen’. Charlotte and Ruben are on the left side of the picture.

A mathematical framework to explore the basis of developmental tempo
Read this Research Highlight showcasing work from Charlotte Manser @clmanser and Ruben Perez-Carrasco @2piruben @imperialcollege @ImperialLifeSci:
journals.biologists.com/dev/…
ALT Studying orbits of gene expression to understand developmental tempo. A common gene regulatory network across species (left) is expected to have different biochemical parameters that results in different gene expression trajectories (middle). Nevertheless, the function can be captured by studying the orbit of gene expression (right).

📢 Save the date for the next London Mathematical Biology Conference, happening 9-10/9/24 @TheCrick. Registration opens soon with many opportunities for contributed talks and abstracts. Spread the word!

Proud to present @callumbucklow's first paper from his DPhil, and first paper from my lab! A ready to use, whole-body uCT-scan dataset of Lake Malawi cichlid fishes for your enjoyment and research. Feel free to browse. The 3d models are awesome.
Well done Callum!
My first manuscript (!) is now ready and accessible here: doi.org/10.1101/2023.11.01.5…. We describe a whole-body uCT-scan dataset of 56 species (116 individuals) of Lake Malawi cichlid fishes. It's been a huge effort and I'm really happy to finally be able to share it.

our last work just published! 📢a method for automated design of biocircuits with target bifurcation behaviour! here we design circuits with mushroom bifurcation (for next generation biosensors). Great collaboration with @2piruben @cssb_lab @julio_r_banga sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Volvemos con el último episodio de la 2ª temporada y con un invitado de lujo en @2piruben. Hablamos de los libros que le hicieron lector, sus últimas lecturas en audiolibro y de la dificultad de leer series cuando no te acuerdas del libro anterior. cutt.ly/7MEznNQ

If you're wondering/worrying about Mastodon's sustainability have a look at a recent paper I co-wrote on the sustainability of open source projects. We described 3 types of OS sustainability (resource-based, interactional & infrastructural), and (1/2)

Happy to share our latest preprint @DMF_UNIL. Work by Florian Baier and Florence Gauye in collaboration with @2piruben and @joshualevipayne. We studied epistasis in synthetic circuits and found that environment-dependent epistasis increases phenotypic diversity.
