🪰Yu-Chiun Wang’s team & Univ. of Hohenheim group discovered how fly embryos solve the “tissue tectonic collision” that occurs in morphogenetic movements between tissues and why the #cephalicfurrow evolved, a longstanding mystery to developmental biologists.

Divergent evolutionary strategies pre-empt tissue collision in gastrulation - Nature
Flies have evolved two distinct strategies for managing mechanical stresses during embryogenesis: out-of-plane cell division in midges and transient out-of-plane tissue folding in fruit flies.

Happy to have shared my first post on The Node, on how hidden power dynamics may prevent creative science from blooming.

Super thrilled to see our review out! It was a great experience to put this together with @sameerthukral.bsky.social and @yuchiunwang.bsky.social. Use it as a primer to the field or as inspiration to brainstorm how rigidity transitions can bridge scales!

Excited to share our new review in Development, Growth and Differentiation(DGD) Journall!

With the amazing @yuchiunwang.bsky.social & @bipashadey29.bsky.social,we explore how rigidity transitions bridge cytoplasmic & tissue scales.

Integrating Tissue and Cytoplasmic Rigidity Transitions During Morphogenesis
Multicellular organisms generate organizational complexity through morphogenesis, in which mechanical forces orchestrate the movements and deformations of cells and tissues, while chemical signals re...

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

Tissue 'tectonic' collision is detrimental, but flies found two distinct solutions! Gratifying and grateful to be included in this collective effort, w/ Steffen Lemke, to crack the (or 'a') code of #cephalicfurrow, now out in @nature.com, all with @paveltomancak.bsky.social at the helm. (1/9)
