Sarcomeres are the contractile units of muscle 💪. During development, sarcomeres divide to add new sarcomeres - out now and on the cover. Great work by @clementrodier.bsky.social Ian Estabrook @frankschnorrer.bsky.social at @ibdm.bsky.social & @poldresden.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Fully-funded PhD position at @poldresden.bsky.social in Dresden, Germany, to theoretically study sarcomere self-assembly in muscle cells, in collaboration with the experimental group of Frank Schnorrer @frankschnorrer.bsky.social

Preprint: How do axolotl regrow lost limbs that match the size of the organism? A model of coupled morphogen dynamics & tissue growth suggests that some morphogen parameters should scale with animal size, but stay constant during regeneration, i.e. show static scaling www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My first post here: Our work on the precision of a noisy biological oscillator, the beating cilium, is out in PNAS with links to energetics and stochastic thermodynamics - wonderful collaboration with skyless Abhimanyu Sharma and Veikko Geyer www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...
