- Reposted by Daniel RíosHappy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.
- Reposted by Daniel RíosA bit late but a paper from our lab has been published! Human fingertip regeneration is a fact, it happens in children and adults (not only in children as it has been long believed). We describe here the regenerative phases and analyse the proteome of wound exudates. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Our updated preprint is now out! The feedback from @reviewcommons.org was fantastic, we are very grateful to our reviewers for their suggestions. The last figure (plus other things) is product of this feedback and we're certain every point strengthened our work! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Daniel RíosPleased to say that Jonas Hartmann (bs-less) and I have finally released DySTrack (“diss track”) - Dynamic Sample Tracking. It’s a Python-based, modular tool that brings smart microscopy to everyday imaging on commercial systems. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... [1/6]
- Reposted by Daniel RíosIf you or your trainees are just getting started with image analysis of cells & are #CellProfiler -curious, here is a fairly thorough walk-through demo I did recently. Loading files, extracting metadata (fun with Regex!), identifying objects, measuring, filtering, QC, exporting: youtu.be/fO5nJdhj_7I

- Thanks to my colleague @ifetter.bsky.social I've got to learn so much about ants and their awesome biology. Just see how beautiful ant ovaries are! Congrats on this work, the first one of many to come :D
- Thrilled to share the first full paper from @AntLabUNAM! 🐜💥 Our paper examines how queen and worker harvester ants differ in ovarian morphology and gene expression, shedding light on the ovary as a hub for multiple physiological systems, not just reproduction. Check it out! rdcu.be/ePNP8

- The first original research paper from my lab is now out in @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Tracheal development is an amazing model to study morphogenesis. There are great works out there that show how this tissue elongates, interconnects, and forms branches (1/n)
- However, we felt there was an unanswered question here: The dorsal trunks, how do they reach the dorsal side if they are formed on the sides? You can see this movement in this video we did with @microeos.bsky.social (2/13)

- Reposted by Daniel RíosThe ability of the animal body to self-assemble based on the information encoded in our genomes is one of the most remarkable miracles of the living world. We now take for granted the idea that shared cellular machinery mediates this and read textbooks laying things out in molecular detail. 1/n 🧪
- Very proud of my students, who did an amazing review on how morphogens regulate tracheal development in Drosophila! We also talk about the tissue that produces these morphogens, the epidermis, and we propose it acts as an 'organizer' for tracheal development (1/2)
