📣 New paper out! How do thousands of cells shape the emergent geometry of the avian embryo? We identify distinct, independently controllable mechanisms that contribute to embryo size and shape. @alex-plum.bsky.social @bensteventon.bsky.social @Guillermo Serrano Najera

📣 New review! Dynamical systems and low-dimensional geometric structures in phase space help rationalize how embryos develop form and function, from large datasets. We focus on morphogenesis, cell differentiation, and their interconnection.

📣 Preprint alert! We developed a framework to uncover Coherent Structures in flows on dynamic surfaces—revealing dynamic attractors, repellers and deformation directions in nematic vesicles, pancreatic spheroids, and beating zebrafish hearts. @sreejithsanthosh.bsky.social

📣Check out our work led by @alex-plum.bsky.social ! We developed a mathematical framework for morphogen patterning in dynamic tissues, revealing key insights into how morphogenesis mediates cell-cell communication, morphogen compartmentalization and fate coordination. biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
