How Do Snakes Get Their Colorful Stripes and Blotches? Comparing the genomes of snakes with distinct coloration patterns pinpointed the genetic variants that contribute to these intricate designs.

Our research on snake skin color patterning is featured in The Scientist! 🐍🎨

Athanasia Tzika explains how comparative genomics and CRISPR-Cas9 revealed the key role of specific genes in establishing corn snake skin color patterns.

Discover the secret of #tortoise head scales!
The latest @lanevol.bsky.social study reveals how two distinct systems - chemical reaction-diffusion and mechanical folding - shape their unique features.

@biology-unige.bsky.social

The distinctive pattern of scales on the face and jaws of crocodiles is formed by a precise mechanical process of skin folding, according to a OA study in @nature.com: http://spklr.io/63328fZXu

Interplay of actin nematodynamics and anisotropic tension controls endothelial mechanics - Nature Physics Blood flow through a vessel deforms vessel walls. Cells lining these walls sense the changes in pressure as blood flows and reorient their actin fibres in the direction of largest tension.

How do blood vessels adapt to pressure? 🩸
A new collaborative study from the Salbreux lab shows how changes in endothelial cells help vessels stretch and stay strong — thanks to actin fibers and a smart mechanical model.
