Ever wondered what happens to developing embryos during hypoxia? 🤔

Find out from our PhD student @k-roksolana.bsky.social at poster #45 at the @embo.org Workshop 'Developmental metabolism: flows of energy, matter & information!' 🐟🧬 #EMBODevMet

Our new paper is out!
1/14 How does an organ rebuild its shape after injury? It's not just about making new cells, but aligning them in the right direction — like bricks shaping a structure. We show that it's all driven by Cell Geometry!

Wound repair in plants guided by cell geometry
Mathew et al. show that growth conflicts reshape cells after injury, forming rhomboidal geometries that trigger diagonal divisions. This reorients cell files to restore tapered morphology. A two-step ...

“Publish or perish” sounds dramatic—until you live it.
In science, the difference between a career and a dead-end can come down to reviewer #2’s mood.
We’re selecting for resilience, not necessarily for brilliance.
Time to talk about what that costs.

A crash course in cell-cell contacts and their mechanical roles by @feyzanar.bsky.social
Cell-cell contacts orchestrate tissue assembly and diverse cellular interactions.

🎯But what mediates their intricate patterns?🤔

Join me, @feyzanar.bsky.social, in exploring the interplay of adhesion and subcellular mechanics in contact patterning.

Congrats, Ste! Great work 👏 👏 👏
That is a great reason for a first post! With a few days of delay, I am proud to share that my postdoc work at the @heisenbergcplab.bsky.social has finally been published on @cp-cellreports.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Now a small (or maybe not) thread about the work!

Our paper, led by @argo-mkhrji.bsky.social and @woonyunghur.bsky.social, on cortical migration of nuclei in drosophila embryos came out today in @naturephysics.bsky.social. Argo wrote a comprehensive thread below. A great collaboration with Massimo Vergassola and @streichan.bsky.social.
1/n Wanted to share this latest piece of work that came online today on how Scale-independent and Topological interactions govern the spindle orientation and in turn the decision to become embryonic/yolk nuclei.

Freely available to read here:

Topological interactions drive the first fate decision in the Drosophila embryo
Nature Physics - Early positioning of the embryo nuclei is not well understood. Now, experiments show that the orientation of the mitotic spindle is controlled by topological interactions, which...
