Great work from @calinacopos.bsky.social lab on #migration of #cell trains! Excited to have contributed some of my old #Dictyostelium data to the modelling work!
When it comes to getting from A to B, is it smarter to buddy up as a supra-cell or go solo like two independent adventurers sharing the load?
Check out our answer in this new modeling work!

How is extrusion of infected host cells related to ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) activity?
Hi, I’m @hundsdorfer.bsky.social from the @effiebastounis.bsky.social lab. Let’s follow the recent development of bacterially-infected cell extrusion & mechanochemical ERK activity waves.

The study of @hundsdorfer.bsky.social et al. on ERK waves coordinating the #biomechanical competition between #epithelial #cells resulting in infected cell extrusion is out: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce.... Thanks to all contributors, DFG, @cmfi.bsky.social & @Serge for #Shigella & #zebrafish experiments!
