What an incredible scientific trip to Japan, first to participate in the Multimodal ECM symposium organised by @hirofujiwara.bsky.social where Ricardo Barrientos won a poster prize, and then to visit @RIKENBDR in Kobe. Fantastic science, stunning views, beautiful food! Thank you Hiro!

We show how BM turnover & expansion coordinate with cellular movements & divisions, highlighting their active & synergistic roles in skin morphogenesis.
