Hi bsky!

Do embryonic tissues have backup plans🔀? Gastruloids (model of body elongation) can build an axis through different cellular mechanisms when on adherent substrates instead of free floating. A case of developmental plasticity!

Good PhD and Postdoc opportunity in a vibrant multidisciplinary lab. Check it out if you are looking for your next move!
We’re recruiting PhD students & postdocs excited about nonlinear dynamics and the physics of living systems. Help us spread the word!
💥CONGRATS💥 to @mattiaserra.bsky.social on receiving a $1.6M NIH MIRA award. Mattia's project will integrate math and physics to develop data-driven frameworks for discovering the mechanisms of biological processes.

“I think every human being has to ask himself: what do you do in the face of genocide?”

“It couldn’t happen without the support of the western world. Any leader that is not doing whatever they can to stop it is part of this horror.”

Can robots in a swarm act like the cells of an organism? Thanks to Sedeer El-Showk for the new article in @nature.com, which highlights the work of a number of research groups, including our own, on how “Robots demonstrate principles of collective intelligence”. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Nice! In-toto 3D imaging is definetely the way to go.
Congratulations @alicegros.bsky.social @jules-vanaret.bsky.social & @dunsingvalentin.bsky.social for this huge team effort! Gastruloids morphogenesis is so fascinating and now we can explore and travel through them in 3D & at cell resolution day and night 🤩
So excited to share my 1st paper !!🌞
Co-authored with @jules-vanaret.bsky.social @dunsingvalentin.bsky.social, we developped an integrated pipeline for imaging, segmenting and analysing cell-scale patterns in gene expression + tissue properties in complex 3D tissues

Man! your frying pan is "gastrulating" like a chick embryo www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... . Did you cook chicken dumplings? 🤣

Can using synthetic approaches to build biology help teach us the design principles of how embryos build themselves? 👷‍♀️🔧

In developing embryos, cells move a lot! Plenty of that movement is random. Is random cell mixing a feature or bug for tissue patterning? Turns out, it’s both! Excited to share the 1st preprint from my postdoc w/ Sean Megason @seanemcgeary.bsky.social and Allon Klein. 1/20 doi.org/10.1101/2025...
