We are interested in cell-to-cell communication. Wnt signalling and cytonemes are our specialities.

What an excellent student! Dr Gemma - you did it! Congratulations. @lsi_exeter
And I forgot this one: Congratulations to "Dr" Kevin for a successful PhD viva on Ror2 signalling in synaptogenesis in AD. Thanks to examiners Dr Nik and Prof Michael for a great viva. @LSI_Exeter
And one other thing for all zebbie peeps….
What an excellent day @lifesciencebath @bathuni. Thanks to Robert Kelsh @bssrnk
and Phil Ingham @phil1pingham for hosting me. And what a great surprise that Steve Farber @stefarber joined. @LSI_Exeter
Excellent reunion of the cytoneme group with @dmvirshup and @lab_ogden at #Wnt2024 in @UniHeidelberg @dkfz. Contact-mediated signalling is crucial for Wnt and Shh, and we progress in zebrafish, mice and human organoids
It is my absolute privilege and honour to be elected as Representative for Europe and West Asia of the International Zebrafish Society (IZFS). #IZFS #zebrafish #EZS
Gemma had lots of success with her work on cytonemes in neural crest specification @izfc2024
Steve Wilson received the CNV award at the #icfc2024. A fantastic journey through 35 years of neurodevelopmental biology, with hilarious photos - e.g. from my former boss, Michael. Congrats from the Scholpp Lab, well deserved!
Excellent presentation from Lucy on our recent project on cytoneme-dependent Wnt spreading in zebrafish #izfc2024 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38123680/
Cytoneme-mediated transport of active Wnt5b-Ror2 complexes in zebrafish - PubMed

Chemical signalling is the primary means by which cells communicate in the embryo. The underlying principle refers to a group of ligand-producing cells and a group of cells that respond to this signal because they express the appropriate receptors<sup>1,2</sup>. In the zebrafish embryo, Wnt5b binds …
