We've started a new Google group dedicated to Brain organoids. Check it out and join us! We want to create an open community to discuss methods, technical difficulties, and uses of organoids: groups.google.com/forum/#!fo…
Super cool new work from the McDole lab on the extreme stress primordial germ cells have to endure on their journey to the gonads during embryonic development. It’s wild that a new generation is even possible after all that!

In case you missed it, check out our recent preprint on developmental timing and how slower means bigger, axons that is!
Led by the extraordinary @feline_lindhout

Very cool preprint by my colleague Kate McDole and her postdoc Katie Goodwin @CellBiol_MRCLMB using beautiful imaging and quantitative methods to understand the wondrous migrations of primordial germ cells in mouse embryos doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.03.6…
This is a fun read, especially with the cool scrolling animations 🤩

If you didn't yet have enough good reasons to share your bioimage data, Matthew (@BioimageA), Josh (@notjustmoore), Erin (@tuesdaystitches), Assaf (@AssafZaritsky) and I are here with squirrel drawings to convince you that you should do it:

I really enjoyed writing this Perspective for the special issue on Neuroscience. It's an exciting time to study the human brain!

Dendritic spines are a neuroanatomical site of synapses, so counting their number can provide an indication of synapse number. Bianchi et al. (Cerebral Cortex 2013) painstakingly counted dendritic spine number on cortical neurons in 4 cortical regions in human and chimpanzee.
What an honour it was to visit UHasselt Biomed and receive an honorary doctorate. It’s a vibrant and growing community of biomedical scientists doing exciting work in immunology, cardiometabolic, and neuroscience!
25-jarig bestaan @BIOMED_UHasselt: onderzoeksinstituut reikt eredoctoraat uit aan Madeline Lancaster, pionier binnen de biomedische wetenschappen.

On the latest #NBTForum podcast, Barbara Cheifet speaks with Madeline Lancaster and Sergiu Pasca about neural organoids — how they are being used to study both basic biology of the brain and their future impacts on disease research shows.acast.com/forum/episod…
Check out this fantastic opportunity in the McDole lab here at the LMB. Right at the interface of imaging and development!
Sergiu and I had a nice chat with Barbara about all things neural organoids. Check it out in the podcast link 👇
Had a great conversation with Madeline @mad_lancaster about human multi-cellular models of disease, evolution and development for the @NatureBiotech Forum Podcast moderated by Barbara @BCheifet
Check out this upcoming organoids conference packed full of great speakers pushing the limits of organoid technologies!
