Congrats Arthur!!!

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... late post! Parts of my PhD thesis are now in a preprint. Just imagine if each cell of your organs decides to undergo some extra divisions while being formed, how would they look and what prevents that from happening? This is exactly what I have shown in my work.

New preprint from the Lecaudey lab by first authors Anna Mertens and Nicola Moratscheck, with the help of other former members including @chaitanyadingare.bsky.social uncovering the role of integrin-laminin interactions during epithelial collective cell migration!

Thanks Shawn @burgesslab.bsky.social! Very helpful :-)

FINALLY out in #Science Advances! 🎉
3 years of hard work, a fantastic team — and I’m proud to be first and co-corresponding author!

It's about Plexin signaling driving collective cell migration & organ sculpting. Check out the videos 😀

Thanks @maikbischoff.bsky.social. Good idea, maybe we will 😉

If you’ve ever wondered how those intricate gill structures emerge—and how gills develop throughout a zebrafish’s lifespan—check out my new preprint!
We dive into the development of gills and their vasculature in detail.
Huge thanks to @vlecaudey.bsky.social for the support🐟

Thrilled that my blog post was the most-read hit on the Node for the month of May ☺️ It acts as an intro to the amazing tools that are (freely) available to #zebrafish researchers. Do check it out if you haven’t yet.

New preprint from the lab! Beautiful work by @mathpreu.bsky.social, who delved into the early development of gills and their intricate vasculature. Thanks to the Clusterproject ENABLE and @goetheuni.bsky.social for the funding! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thanks Ali!!

Thank you @mads100tist.bsky.social 🤗!!

New preprint from the lab!! Project was initiated by @chaitanyadingare.bsky.social and continued by Alicia Lardennois with quite some people involved on the way 🤗

Thanks @zebrafishrock.bsky.social! Faster than me 😉. New preprint from the Lecaudey lab!

“We propose a model in which Yap1, together with Tead proteins, ensures that the [posterior lateral line primordium] contains a sufficient number of cells before migration begins.”

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

🎉 I’m thrilled to share that I’ve made it in my first image competition! It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase my work 🔬.

My image highlights the vasculature of the entire gill 🦓🐟
