I am delighted to share our new preprint in which we reveal the crucial role for mechanical forces in myoblast fusion. Great work from Yoann, Sushil and Aleksandra and great collaboration with Christophe Marcelle and Amin Doostmohammadi!

Dear @soren-lorenson.bsky.social

Creators of Foldscope here. Absolutely love the idea of a “little free science lab”.. I will prototype it in my neighborhood and report back. Let’s see what new materials people add to same. Reminds me of “hole in the wall” (old documentary reference here)..
I recently resurrected my website and added a space for me to dump all my harebrained ideas out into the void in case someone else with more free time stumbles upon them and wants a free harebrained idea. Anyway, here's one. magaro.net/cressida/por...

Get the dimensionless numbers right !
Interesting perspective on such important numbers...

Great work by the team of Amy Shyer and Alan Rodrigues: FGF and BMP modify local mechanical tissue properties, at the origin of organ morphogenesis (BMP is generally fluidifying and FGF stiffening).
Tissue model: avian skin

Spatial patterning of energy metabolism during tissue morphogenesis by Bezia Lemma and the excellent Celeste Nelson from Princeton University.

Very interesting perspective paper on the spatial variations of energy consumption during tissue morphogenesis.

Our last preprint is online at biorXiv. I have written a short "tweetorial" about it as a teaser, hoping it will make you want to read it (and comment it).
Have a look there (I'm sorry I did not post it entirely here):

Our new preprint is now live at biorXiv! So proud and honored to share the authorship with PhD students Ana Ximena Monroy-Romero and Brenda Nieto-Rivera, as well as postdoc researcher Wenjin Xiao. This is the first submission of our new team. Summary coming soon here. We hope you enjoy this work !

Have you ever asked yourselves what would happen if instead of using our usual standard units (meter, second, kilogram), rather arbitrary we could use OBJECTIVE units related to the physical event you describe?
Episode 8 of our series on Mechanics is just out: "The right angle" !
