Thrilled to announce that @BlairBenhamPyle has been named an NIH New Innovator! This support from the @NIH_CommonFund is so meaningful and we can’t wait to share the resulting science with you!

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

Interested in planarian #flatworms? Listen to Dr. @BlairBenhamPyle's podcast discussing their #STEMCells, and new methods to address big questions in #regeneration. @bcmhouston
Stem Cell Podcast
@stemcellpodcast2 Apr 2024
We're back with a brand new episode! Dr. @BlairBenhamPyle from @bcmhouston joins us to talk about her research on #planarian flatworms and how they regenerate! 🪱 Listen now: bit.ly/3xt5EE5

@BlairBenhamPyle visited the @MSarsCentre to discuss how scRNAseq and spatial transcriptomics can identify new cell types underlying regenerative capacity. And, she got to see all the fun creatures of the @Pawel_Burkhardt, @lionlchristiaen, @PRHSteinmetz, and Chatzigeorgiou labs!

Amazing talk today by Blair Benham-Pyle from @BenhamPyleLab @BCMHouston on how genes, cell types, and microenvironments are required for planarian regeneration. Thank you so much for visiting us! 🙏👏 📸 @KTGarschall @UiB

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 depends on the size of worm, but several hundred thousand animals would be a good estimate since the system holds about 100 gallons of water.

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 :)
