Hi bsky!
Do embryonic tissues have backup plans🔀? Gastruloids (model of body elongation) can build an axis through different cellular mechanisms when on adherent substrates instead of free floating. A case of developmental plasticity!

Good PhD and Postdoc opportunity in a vibrant multidisciplinary lab. Check it out if you are looking for your next move!
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.

Nice! In-toto 3D imaging is definetely the way to go.
Congratulations @alicegros.bsky.social @jules-vanaret.bsky.social & @dunsingvalentin.bsky.social for this huge team effort! Gastruloids morphogenesis is so fascinating and now we can explore and travel through them in 3D & at cell resolution day and night 🤩
So excited to share my 1st paper !!🌞
Co-authored with @jules-vanaret.bsky.social @dunsingvalentin.bsky.social, we developped an integrated pipeline for imaging, segmenting and analysing cell-scale patterns in gene expression + tissue properties in complex 3D tissues

In developing embryos, cells move a lot! Plenty of that movement is random. Is random cell mixing a feature or bug for tissue patterning? Turns out, it’s both! Excited to share the 1st preprint from my postdoc w/ Sean Megason @seanemcgeary.bsky.social and Allon Klein. 1/20 doi.org/10.1101/2025...
