Which features of tissue flows are most robust and how do they emerge from #EpithelialMechanics?
I’m @alex-plum.bsky.social (@mattiaserra.bsky.social group) and I’ll be sharing some papers on characterizing and controlling avian gastrulation flows.

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.

📣 New paper out! How do thousands of cells shape the emergent geometry of the avian embryo? We identify distinct, independently controllable mechanisms that contribute to embryo size and shape. @alex-plum.bsky.social @bensteventon.bsky.social @Guillermo Serrano Najera

Work by the incredibly talented PhD students Saurabh Joshi and Andre Forjaz.
InterpolaAI, based on deep learning-based optical flow, restores and interpolates sparse image stacks.
This first example is a stack of histological images of a human pancreatic duct.
6 out of 7 images were missing or defective, all now generated.

📣 New review! Dynamical systems and low-dimensional geometric structures in phase space help rationalize how embryos develop form and function, from large datasets. We focus on morphogenesis, cell differentiation, and their interconnection.

📣 Preprint alert! We developed a framework to uncover Coherent Structures in flows on dynamic surfaces—revealing dynamic attractors, repellers and deformation directions in nematic vesicles, pancreatic spheroids, and beating zebrafish hearts. @sreejithsanthosh.bsky.social
