Great quantification with the well-integrated computational model to connect cellular behavior to tissue behavior of tissue spheroids.
Our paper is out in Nature Communications!
We combine two-photon microscopy and active foam modeling to show how cell-scale mechanics control the viscoelasticity and fusion of tissue spheroids, linking single-cell behavior to tissue-level properties.

Active foam dynamics of tissue spheroid fusion - Nature Communications
Combining microscopy and modeling, the authors reveal that tissue fluidity, driven by active cell motion and interfacial tension, governs how living spheroids merge into larger structures.

The class of immune cells at the centre of Monday’s Nobel prize is showing promise as a treatment for autoimmune diseases, cancer and even organ transplants — but there are still key challenges to overcome before these cells can be used in therapies in the clinic.

These immune cells won Nobel fame — can they solve autoimmune disease?
Regulatory T cells, which help to dampen inflammation, are being used in clinical trials against ailments such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Songs of the striped mouse show who’s friend and who’s foe
Ultrasonic calls, too high for the human ear to detect, convey a wealth of information across the rodent’s territory.

Organisms alter selective pressures in many ways. But can they also shape the drift probabilities of their populations? In our recent paper, we argue that they can—and, in doing so, we expand the scope of #nicheconstruction theory 📄👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #HPBio #evobio #ecology #HPS
