Nice artwork on the poster

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.

We are looking for a new group leader to join the IGH (Montpellier, France). I can’t wait to meet my future colleague! Apply :-) More infos here: igh.cnrs.fr/join-igh-as-...

Less than a week left for abstract submission for #EESMechanobiology - join us in this long-standing meeting on the mechanics of life.

Don’t deprioritize curiosity-driven research www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Group Leader Call at the @cbitoulouse.bsky.social in Genome biology, projects at the interface with devbio will be given particular attention. please share :) cbi-toulouse.fr/wp-content/u...

It was a pleasure to work on this graphical abstract. Very interesting work from @florisbosveld.bsky.social et al, as always. A thorough look on how tissues deal with asymmetric cell divisions. Find and read the full work here : www.cell.com/developmenta...

How resilient are tissues to cell mispositioning and loss, and how do they restore their cell numbers? Check our latest work, from @ybellaichelab.bsky.social Congratulations to all authors. Artwork from the artist @lale-alpar.bsky.social (lalealpar.com) www.cell.com/developmenta...

The threefold way an epithelium copes with cell misplacement: pulling them up, killing them less, and removing the unwanted. Ruoheng Li discusses a #preprint from @florisbosveld.bsky.social & colleagues @ybellaichelab.bsky.social Check out the #preLight ⬇️👀 prelights.biologists.com/highlights/t...

In her Essay, Renata Basto highlights the huge budget cuts facing the scientific community in France. In response to the cuts, a group of researchers has formed the ‘Pour une Recherche d'Avenir’ initiative to secure the future of French research. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

📢 Submissions are now open for the CellMap Segmentation Challenge. Build the best method for segmenting cellular organelles in vEM using our 289 annotated volumes, 40 organelle classes, and 22 diverse cell and tissue types. 🔗 hhmi.news/410evJQ

First official post! A new paper out about #cytokinesis in #epithelia www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... Explore our journey as we uncover how regulators of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions modulate cytokinesis efficiency, while revealing new roles for the Dystrophin-Dystroglycan complex.

To kick start the New Year, I'm delighted to share the lab's first preprint - now online: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... See below for a couple of highlights👇 Any feedback is welcome! "TEsky" HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! 🥂
