Pleasure to announce the program of my new series of lectures at the College de France in Nov-Dec. Continuing on the theme of Biological information. I will focus on the computational aspects, building on David Marr's tri-level of analysis in biological systems. YouTube link sent when it starts.

🔥 En 1523, la Sorbonne interdit… l’enseignement du grec ! Scandale pour les érudits. Guillaume Budé convainc alors François Ier de fonder un collège libre : le Collège de France.
🔥 Sa fière statue de marbre trône aujourd’hui face à la Sorbonne, comme un défi lancé au conformisme académique.

I am excited to finally share our work on avian left/right symmetry breaking with you. We reveal a tissue-scale active torque dipole generated at the Hensen’s node, thanks to crazy experiments by Julia @juliapfanzelter.bsky.social and some analysis by me.

An active torque dipole across tissue layers drives avian left-right symmetry breaking

Unlike in mice, frogs, and fish, left-right (L/R) body axis formation in avian embryos does not arise from the chiral beat of cilia. Instead, a counter-clockwise tissue rotation around Hensen′ node, t...
