Many cells during development are exposed to caspase activation and yet survive. Why some die and not others ? We found out that the memory of previous caspase activation bias significantly later death comitment and bias death distribution and single cell decision

Second preprint from the lab in a week!

This time led by Aurelien.

Combining live imaging, quantitative image analysis and perturbations, he clarifies the mechanisms leading to primitive induction.

🚨New preprint
Glad to share my postdoc work on the role of the hypoblast in primitive streak induction! Discover how live imaging observations led us to revisit the molecular mechanisms governing embryonic axis induction
Thanks to @jeromegros.bsky.social and all co-authors!

Live imaging and functional characterization of the avian hypoblast redefine the mechanisms of primitive streak induction

In birds and mammals, the formation of the primitive streak, the hallmark of the primary axis and site of gastrulation, is thought to occur when an anterior displacement of the hypoblast (visceral end...

🚨📣 New preprint alert!
Excited to share my new postdoc work on direct force and mechanical properties measurements in live embryos!
A great team effort with A. Chamolly (theory), under the supervision of F. Corson and @jeromegros.bsky.social

#devbio #mechanics

Direct measurements of active forces and material properties unveil the active mechanics of early embryogenesis

Despite progress in probing tissue mechanics, direct long-term measurements in live embryonic epithelia are lacking. This limits our understanding of amniote embryonic morphogenesis, which takes place...

Arthur Michaut 🔬🐣 @amichaut.bsky.social · Mar 13

I am delighted to share with you my first postdoc paper, which has now been published in @currentbiology.bsky.social!

Thanks to everyone who contributed: A. Chamolly, @aurelienvilledieu.bsky.social, F. Corson and @jeromegros.bsky.

A tension-induced morphological transition shapes the avian extra-embryonic territory

Michaut et al. show that the tension produced during epiboly elastically stretches the extra-embryonic (EE) territory, while the embryo proper (EP) remains unaffected. Although the whole epiblast (EP ...
