New insights into DNA organisation during embryonic development
Researchers from the Kind Group have studied the spatial organisation of DNA that is so particular to these early developmental stages. The paper was published in Nature Genetics on 16 September 2024.
Single-cell technology helps researchers advance personalized corneal treatments
Researchers from Radboud University and Tampere University (Finland) have made a significant step forward towards creating effective personalized therapy for corneal damage using Single-cell RNA sequencing.
Deepening our understanding of early mammalian embryogenesis
Suzan Stelloo and her colleagues at RIMLS-Science investigated early mammalian embryogenesis using stem-cell based embryo-like structures called 'gastruloids'.
Senior Award from the De Snoo - van 't Hoogerhuijs Foundation for developmental biologist Dr. Hendrik Marks

ZonMW open grant on early human embryogenesis
Hendrik Marks (RIMLS-Science) has received an ZonMW open grant on early human embryogenesis. Together with researchers from Maastricht University/ MUMC+, they will use powerful embryo models to study how human embryos cope with aneuploid cells.
Unlocking Skin's Secret Defender: AHR's Role in Barrier Formation
AHR plays a key role in skin health by activating TFAP2A, essential for skin barrier integrity. Researchers used advanced techniques to demonstrate this mechanism, with implications for treating skin barrier disorders.
HHINT Kickstarter for transplantable corneal stem cells
In the project iCorneaTherapy, Jo Huiqing Zhou collaborates with the Finnish company StemSights on the development of transplantable corneal stem cells.
New technique efficiently offers insight into gene regulation
Researchers from the group of Jop Kind developed a new technique called MAbID. This allows them to simultaneously study different mechanisms of gene regulation, which plays a major role in development and disease.
