Thank you Lendert! ☺️

Thank you 😊

Thank you Stefano! Theses diferences between flies and fish are super interesting! Maybe worth testing 😁

Thanks Oleg ☺️

🐸 are 🆒! ❄️☀️

Cell adhesion and spreading on fluid membranes through microtubules-dependent mechanotransduction - Nature Communications During cell adhesion, integrins are typically thought to require immobilized ligands for spreading. Here, the authors demonstrate that cells can spread and form mature integrin adhesions on fluid subs...

1/11 🚨 New research! 🚨 We explored how cells adhere to supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) using Invasin, a high-affinity integrin ligand. Surprisingly, cells spread and form mature integrin adhesions on fluid SLBs, revealing a novel microtubule-driven mechanotransduction! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Flow, sense and divide - Nature Cell Biology In each cell division during early embryogenesis, daughter cells acquire half the size of the mother cell. A study now reports that cytoplasmic flows sensing the cell boundaries allow daughter cells t...

Cytoplasmic flow is a cell size sensor that scales anaphase - Nature Cell Biology Afonso et al. show that, during anaphase, chromosome movement can be driven by large cytoplasmic flows. These dynein-dependent cytoplasmic flows scale with cell size, slowing in smaller cells, thereby...

Intrigued about how flows emerge and move chromosomes? 🧐

Have a look at the full story below!
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We found cytoplasmic flows, that emerge specifically in anaphase and move chromosomes! We combined experiments and theory to show that flows scale purely by cell confinement and ultimately scale anaphase!

New paper alert! ‼️‼️
Super happy to share that my postdoc paper is finally out!

1/3 We looked at scaling of chromosome separation during anaphase in zebrafish embryos.

Please spread the word!
We are looking for postdoc(s) interested in quantitative problems in Development and Regeneration. Previous experience in quantitative biology is not required. We will support you and provide a great training environment if you are committed to learn new things.

This was a really amazing experience!With super interesting discussions and a very interdisciplinary group! Looking forward for the next physics of early divisions!
