I’m so excited to join this fantastic group of early career scientists! Big shoutout to my @bcmhouston neighbors @HongjieLi5 and @BoeynaemsSteven, my fellow @Planaria1 lab alum @longhua_guo, and my former @stanfordcbio classmate @dianyang1117!

First @BenhamPyleLab retreat is in the books! After a day of lab brainstorming we got to enjoy some much deserved relaxation… tie dye lab coats, glass painting, brunch at Lucille’s, and an afternoon at the Houston Museum of Natural Science! @hmns @BCMFromtheLabs

This #FlatwormFriday @BlairBenhamPyle talked to the theater audience @recroomhtx about what we can learn about cloning and nature vs. nurture from planaria! @BCMFromtheLabs @CAGTHouston @bcmhouston
Blair Benham-Pyle, PhD (she/her)@BlairBenhamPyle18 Feb 2023
Tonight I had a great time participating in forum night @recroomhtx! What do biology, psychotherapy, and theater have in common? We found out with their performance of A Number (playing through Feb 25) & great discussion on cloning, identity, ethics, and human relationships.

We just posted a new version of our planarian spatial transcriptomics story! Lots of new analysis & RNAi functional testing. Check it out! ⁦@ScienceStowers⁩ @fg_mann⁩⁩ ⁦@DungVuu⁩ ⁦@S_Nowotarski⁩ ⁦@Planaria1⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Planarians employ diverse and dynamic stem cell microenvironments to support whole-body regeneration

Stem cells enable regeneration by self-renewing and differentiating as instructed by a local microenvironment called a niche[1][1]–[3][2]. In most cases, the repair or replacement of tissues is...

It’s #FlatwormFriday and we’ve got a new toy!!! We are taking all the pretty pictures now, including some fun shots of dividing planarian stem cells :) @BCMFromtheLabs @bcmhouston @CAGTHouston @zeiss_micro

It’s #FlatwormFriday and we celebrated the commissioning of our planarian aquatic environment! This multi-tiered flowing river will house our growing animal colony starting (fingers-crossed) next week! Wish the sentinel planaria good luck and good health :)

It’s the second #FlatwormFriday of 2023 and it was Liver Day! The @BenhamPyleLab processed fresh beef liver home grown in Texas to feed the planarian colony and support our future RNAi screens. 30 lbs of liver in six hours… capped off with a team pizza party :) @BCMFromtheLabs

For the first lab meeting of the year @BlairBenhamPyle was inspired by her fellow #NewPIs to do a state of the lab talk! Biggest highlight of 2022 were the transformation of the planarian vivarium (aquatics are in!) and the lab's first RNAi/in situ screen. Can't wait for 2023!
