Curious to read about the 'Physical Basis of Sarcomere Assembly'. Here are some thoughts from @friedrich-group.bsky.social and me - you might learn the difference between nematic and smectic order in biological assemblies pubs.aip.org/aip/bpr/arti...

#Mastodon, the Command Center for Large-Scale Lineage-Tracing Microscopy Datasets, is finally heading for publication (well, let's see). To #cite or not to cite shall no longer be the question 🙃, because the #preprint. Software is available in every #Fiji near you.

Super cool work spearheaded by the amazing @agrigas.bsky.social! Excited for this collaboration with @manningresearch.bsky.social and for everything still to come! 🎉 Also thank you to @emaniou.bsky.social and @glgalea.bsky.social for your help!
How do sparse mesenchymal cells, with unique stellate arms spanning large gaps between cells, maintain their network while still flowing during development? In our new preprint we describe the avian PSM as a fluid under tension and develop new theory to explain it: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

[PUBLI] Observing muscle growth brick by brick

A research project at the @ibdm.bsky.social, led by Clément Rodier, has recently challenged long-standing scientific hypotheses about how muscles elongate during development, thanks to advanced #microscopy.
