I'm happy to present our new tool, EpiCure, a napari plugin to ease correction of segmentation and tracking of epithelia movies, developed in @devstempasteur.bsky.social

1938. Comparative anatomy notebook found in the family home.
Drawings by a female student: fish vertebra; transverse section of a vertebrate embryo.
Not the norm at the time, but a trace of girls already present, learning and producing science, rarely foregrounded in historical narratives.

Centriolar defects underlie a primary ciliary dyskinesia phenotype in an adenylate kinase 7 deficient ciliated epithelium The skin of Xenopus embryos contains numerous multiciliated cells (MCCs), which collectively generate a directed fluid flow across the epithelial surf…

Super excited to share that the final version of our study on the role of Adenylate Kinase 7 (AK7) on centriole maturation is finally out!

The effector caspases drive cell death, but their activation can often be survived, so how do cells make this decision? Our new preprint from @levayerr.bsky.social shows that instantaneous caspase activity is important, but past activation has a key role to play!

Epithelial cell extrusion at a glance Summary: Cell extrusion is a conserved process that leads to seamless expulsion of epithelial cells from tissues. This Cell Science at a Glance describes the functions and underlying mechanisms of cel...

So happy to share that our review on epithelial cell extrusion is out! @levayerr.bsky.social

Extrusion is such a plastic, context-dependent process, so capturing it visually in the poster that accompanies the article was a super challenging but fun task!

How is extrusion of infected host cells related to ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) activity?

Hi, I’m @hundsdorfer.bsky.social from the @effiebastounis.bsky.social lab. Let’s follow the recent development of bacterially-infected cell extrusion & mechanochemical ERK activity waves.

📢 Samedi 8 mars, parce que l’évidence reste un combat, MARCHONS.

🟣 Dans un contexte aux allures de fin du monde, marchons contre ceux qui ne cessent d’attaquer les droits des femmes et les avancées sociales !

📢Aujourd'hui l'Institut Pasteur se mobilise pour la science, l'inclusion & l'avenir du savoir avec l'organisation du symposium «Excellence Scientifique : et si l'inclusion était la clé ?» en écho avec la Journée Internationale des Droits des Femme & la participation au mouvement #StandUpForScience !

Grosse mobilisation des Pasteurien-nes avant le départ pour la marche de #StandUpForScienceFrance
En solidarité avec nos collègues aux US (et sur toute le planète) qui voient leur liberté académique entravée ✊

Nice focalplane post by @AlexisVillars on how and why we developped DeXtrusion😍 and how to use it : focalplane.biologists.com/2023/10/06/b...

For the dev bio crowd : there is a call for junior group leader at Institut Pasteur in Paris and one of the axis covered is related to development. Come and join us in this exciting place and become one of our colleague @devstempasteur.bsky.social
Please RT !!

It is a small step and the mountain to climb is still very high, but we were quite happy to be the guinea pig of our department @devstempasteur.bsky.social to be the first to get the @mygreenlab (not yet on bluesky 🤔) certification. Still a lot to do but at least the process and dynamics started.
