Force coordination distinguishes epithelial and mesenchymal modes of collective #chemotaxis. New study from Jorge Diaz and Roberto Mayor @mayorlab.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk: rupress.org/jcb/article/...
#Migration #motility #Development
So proud to share my paper on collective chemotaxis and force coordination in epithelial and mesenchymal cells, developed in the Mayor Lab and now published in JCB. Deeply grateful for everything I learned from Xenopus NC and the amphibian world, where adaptation is everything🐸
Pacheco & @drericabiophd.bsky.social discuss new study from @jorgediazfuentes.bsky.social & @mayorlab.bsky.social (rupress.org/jcb/article/...) which reveals the distinct force-generating mechanisms used by epithelial and mesenchymal cells during collective cell migration rupress.org/jcb/article/...
We had the privilege of contributing a @jcb.org Spotlight about the exciting new work from @mayorlab.bsky.social ! Check them out!

Collective migration is not just about leaders at the front, but about coordination across the group.
Always exciting to see these dynamics visualized.
Many thanks to @jcb.org for featuring our work 🐸🔬🌹

Beautiful, thorough, personal in places, memoir of John Gurdon from Eddy de Robertis, disciple and friend. Å #MustRead about a generation and a time from which we have moved on but that laid the foundation for contemporary biology.

Two ways to move together: force coordination in collective #chemotaxis. Jessica Pacheco & Erica Hutchins @drericabiophd.bsky.social @ctbatucsf.bsky.social discuss study from @jorgediazfuentes.bsky.social & @mayorlab.bsky.social (rupress.org/jcb/article/...) in Spotlight rupress.org/jcb/article/...
Congratulations @mayorlab.bsky.social on this awesome-deserverd recognition by the @socdevbio.bsky.social !
Dr. Roberto Mayor career is a powerful example of the excellence, leadership, and creativity that #Latinx scientists bring to #DevelopmentalBiology!
Thank you @walenteklab.bsky.social
Congrats @jeffreyafarrell.bsky.social !!! He is doing some of the most important work bringing Dev Bio to the 21st century...
(the other winners are pretty good too I hear)
Oh man! What a crazy honor to receive this award from SDB!! I love being a part of SDB so much - it has led to so many awesome ideas, collaborations, and friendships over the last 13 years, so this is really exciting. Looking forward to seeing you all at the meeting. Thank you, SDB!!!
Huge congrats to all!
Outstanding list of recipients for this year’s @socdevbio.bsky.social awards!
Congratulations to this fabulous group of award winners!
It’s a real honour to receive the Viktor Hamburger Outstanding Educator Prize from the SDB. Teaching is one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Thanks to the SDB and the hundreds of students and faculty at the Quintay course who have made it such a joy.
In @jcb.org, Diaz & @mayorlab.bsky.social show that epithelial & mesenchymal cells navigate chemical cues via fundamentally different force-generating mechanisms, offering new insight into how diverse cell types achieve collective movement during development and disease. rupress.org/jcb/article/...
