Excited to share Alison's @alisonkickuth.bsky.social paper from the lab out in @nature.com this week! We uncovered how a mechanical ratchet mechanism drives cytokinesis in early #zebrafish embryos. Read more in this thread 🧵 and at www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🤩

New preprint out! We use optogenetics, AFM, and active surface modelling to link signalling ⚡ → mechanics ⚙️ → cell shape 🔵
How does signalling control cortical tension?
Using optogenetics and AFM, we show that myosin recruitment and cortical tension increase proportionally with RhoA signalling.

I'm super excited to announce that I will join the Human Technopole @humantechnopole.bsky.social in Milan in April 2026 as a Research Group Leader.

Good news in rough times:
Our work on generalising Lifshitz-Slyosov-Wagner (LSW) theory to active systems, led by the all-mighty Jonathan Bauermann, is out on PRL!! Special thanks to Christoph Weber @m-pol.bsky.social and Frank Jülicher.

1/6 🧪 Preprint-Alert!
We looked at how molecules move across phase boundaries, e.g., in liquid droplets, taking into account that chemical potentials inside and outside the boundary can be different!
This unites recent work with stuff from the 60s and has cool consequences 👇

Transport kinetics across interfaces between coexisting liquid phases
We investigate the kinetics of material transport across interfaces in phase-separated mixtures. Using non-equilibrium thermodynamics we derive the interfacial kinetics, describing the movement of the...
