Au CNRS, une coupe budgétaire inédite fragilise un peu plus la recherche : « On va dans le mur » Le PDG du Centre national de recherche scientifique, Antoine Petit, a annoncé, le 24 mars, une baisse supplémentaire de 20 millions d’euros sur le budget 2026 de l’institution. Les chercheurs et les d...

Our latest work on shape-programmable tissues is out in @science.org. By positioning topological defects in cellular nematics, we encode frustrated 2D force fields that relax into predictable 3D shapes. Collaboration with Marino Arroyo’s lab, led by @pauguillamat.bsky.social at @ibecbarcelona.eu.

100+ year old Pasteur Institute in Tehran was a premier infectious disease research institute and vaccine manufacturer

It is a reason Iranian kids like me born in 60s had access to measles vaccines soon after they were developed in the west

New piece on the mechanics of squamous epithelial shape transition highlighting the role of tensile forces, force transmission by Dumpy & elastic resistance by the ECM in the developing wing. Terrific work from Stefan Harmansa @morphomechanics.bsky.social with Alex Erlich🍾👏:

Spatial patterning of contractility by a self-organized mechanogen activity gradient underlies Drosophila gastrulation - Nature Communications During morphogenesis patterned contractility drives tissue shape changes. Here they show that GPCR signaling and integrin activation give rise to a dynamically translocating gradient of contractility ...

New paper out! In this project, we focused on the question how tissue mechanics is spatially controlled during development. We show that the GPCR ligand Fog acts as a “mechanogen” during Drosophila gastrulation, driving a self-organized wave of tissue invagination:

Tissue mechanics and synth morphogenesis folks, bump on this:
Would you or someone in your lab be up for a video of a protocol you use getting recorded? The tips and tricks, the hard-to-explain-without-seeing-it-done?

In the name of standardization and reproducibility in the field: get in touch! 🫀

My PhD work showed that vimentin is not only a passive marker of EMT, but plays an active role in collective migration, controlling the mechanics of epithelial leader cells. I am grateful to my supervisors, Rene-Marc & Benoit Ladoux, as well as to all the co-authors.

My lab @cri-utsw.bsky.social is looking for a highly motivated postdoct interested in mechanobiology!

We are building a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary team working on how mechanical forces shape immune and cancer cell behavior.

Come do cool science with me!

Excited to share our work on epithelial multilayering - identifying why stem cell stay in the basal layer and how and why differentiating cells move up. Great collab with @manningresearch.bsky.social and Niessen labs! Check out preprint and great summary below www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

L'emprise des grandes fortunes françaises Il n’existe aucun sujet de politique économique et sociale où l’on puisse observer un écart aussi béant entre le soutien populaire et la représentation nationale.

Pour comprendre la discussion budgétaire qui se clôt il faut objectiver, avec lucidité et sérénité, une réalité désormais structurante : l’emprise inédite des milliardaires sur la vie démocratique de la nation.

Iranians are experiencing a collective trauma. Thousands have been killed/injured in recent events, the economy is crippled & the threat of a wider conflict is real. This is especially difficult for those living in Iran, as many have lost (or fear losing) loved ones. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Twenty-three nominations, yet no Nobel prize: how Chien-Shiung Wu missed out on the top award in physics – Physics World Mats Larsson and Ramon Wyss reveal why Chien-Shiung Wu never won a Nobel prize

Many people have wondered why the Chien-Shiung Wu never won the Nobel Prize for Physics. New findings from the Nobel archives, exclusively revealed in Physics World, show she was nominated 23 times by 18 different physicists - and yet was still left empty-handed. 🧪⚛️
