Super cool! Looking forward to trying this reporter!

📣Our project, “Mechanometabolic Control of Vertebrate Limb Elongation,” has been funded by Wellcome! Over the next 8 years, we’ll collaborate with @manningresearch.bsky.social and Nathalie Agar’s group to understand the mechanics of ECM-rich mesenchymal tissues! Funded positions available!🎉

Great thread by @amichaut.bsky.social

Check out this thread I wrote for @epimechfc.bsky.social ⬇️

SARCOMERES divide! Mechanism how muscles grow while contracting - daughter sarcomeres appear everywhere. Seen live, registered on our cover. Pioneered by @clementrodier.bsky.social @friedrich-group.bsky.social Ian Estabrook @ibdm.bsky.social $ by @hfspo.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Why do vertex models work so well to predict tissue fluidity/rigidity, even though they are simple and possibly even wrong? A new paper in PRX Life @prxlife.bsky.social, spearheaded by @sadjadarzash.bsky.social and Ojan Damavandi, suggests universality may explain: journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...

Beautiful work as always from the @bhamlalab.bsky.social ! Flamingoes use swirling flows to trap and catch preys!

📢 Fresh off the press and featuring new exciting experiments! 🧪 We show how glycolytic activity instructs germ layer proportions through regulation of Nodal and Wnt signaling - happy to finally share this 😊 doi.org/10.1016/j.st... B2B with @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social lab: doi.org/10.1016/j.st... 🤩

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

Thrilled to share our new review article! “The role of extracellular matrix viscoelasticity in development and disease” written together with Olivia Courbot is now published in npj Biological Physics and Mechanics. www.nature.com/articles/s44... #ECM #Mechanobiology #DevelopmentalBiology

Amen

Super excited to announce my new lab at the University of Michigan opening Jan 2025! 🎉We’ll study how cells work together to shape the GI tract, with ties to regeneration & disease. Hiring at all levels—esp. a research tech to help launch the lab! Info: huyckelab.org #DevBio #CellBio #Hiring

Congratulations @matyasbl.bsky.social !!!

We're hiring a postdoc! Please forward to people you know who are looking for positions. Interested in studying how metabolism is wired to support fertility? 🔬🪰 Come join us! Ad to go live next week, but informal enquiries encouraged.
