Excited to see this out - how single cell heterogeneities and cell-cell interactions synergize to drive tissue patterning during regeneration! See thread below!

Fantastic study showing that mechanosensor YAP1 acts as a molecular "pre-patterner" cue during intestinal regeneration. Congratulations @priscaliberali.bsky.social @ehannezo.bsky.social and the entire team!

JOB ALERT We are seeking a Computational Research Assistant or Research Associate to help drive an ambitious multiomics ageing project part of the NMGN Mouse Ageing Cluster. www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49939/ @scicambridge.bsky.social @phar.cam.ac.uk @cambridgebiosci.bsky.social

So pleased to have the paper out, available here: www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08423-8 For me this was discovery science as I had always hoped it would be. A lot of fun, and some proper detective work with plenty of twists & turns on the way. Brief thread below

Thanks to @cp-trendsendomet.bsky.social for giving us the opportunity to write about our favourite metabolite, fumarate. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We will have upcoming vacancies in the Iden lab at Saarland University (PhD student, postdoc, technician). If you wish to join an international research team working on cell-cell communication in mammalian epithelia, contact me (please provide CV, motivation letter, contacts of 2-3 references).

Fantastic work showing how the ECM (composition and mechanical properties) determines the regenerative outcome of finger tip amputation. Congratulations Byron Mui, @storerlab.bsky.social, Kevin Chalut and the entire team.

Exciting work showing how the mechanical properties and composition of ECM modulate epithelial multipotency. Congratulations to @cedric-blanpain.bsky.social and the entire team www.nature.com/articles/s41...
