‘These signals, they’re made for jogging’:

Nodal and FGF signals regulate early zebrafish cardiac morphogenetic events and lead to asymmetry in migration patterns that result in cardiac jogging and cardiac looping.

Optogenetic stimulation of Lbc GEF-mediated Rho activity dynamics promotes cell invasion - preLights Tumors break free! More contraction, more invasion.

New #preLights post @vibhasingh.bsky.social!

#NalbantLab introduces a powerful new approach to study mechanobiological regulation in cancer. They describe how tumour cells manage to “pull” themselves away from the tumour bulk during invasion.
