A perfect start in the new year! 🌱 Regenerating tissues are just an amazing spatio temporal controlled process! Our new manuscript explores how cell heterogeneity and bistability orchestrate intestinal regeneration. 🧵 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
Cell heterogeneity and fate bistability drive tissue patterning during intestinal regeneration
Tissue regeneration relies on the ability of cells to undergo de novo patterning. While tissue patterning has been viewed as the transition from initially identical un-patterned cells to an arrangemen...

Happy to share the latest work from Preeti Sahu, with Adriana Sanchez-Danes on the biomechanics of cell fate choices during tumor initiation! We implement/test a 3D vertex model with proliferation and fate choices for multilayered tissues! See 🧵 below (1/n) bit.ly/3ZXxJzk

I've started a blog where I reflect and explore how the world will change with increased rates of technological innovation, what this means for society and explore how agency and collective approaches can allow individuals and groups to create the world we want.

If we don't create the world we want, we let big tech choose for us
We are giving just a handful of tech CEOs and VCs their utopia
