Check out the preprint of my main work in the lab of @xaviertrepat.bsky.social @IBECBarcelona. Many thanks to all the people involved!

I'm proud to contributing to the development of the experimental system of this amazing study. I heard @onenimesa.bsky.social will do a whole thread soon. And maybe we have even more in the pipeline...

New preprint out! We show how cellular nematic order can be harnessed to program tissue-wide force fields and guide 3D shape transformations. The tissue morphogenesis logic, now engineered into living, programmable materials. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #ActiveMatter #TissueEngineering

What do we see when looking at cells under the microscope? 👉Some are bigger than others, some are elongated and align with the neighbors & others seem to move. Cool, right? But wouldn't it be cooler to quantify these observations? I'm @juliaeckert.bsky.social. Let's explore some analysis software!‬

Great stuff from our lab!

Hello world! I wrote something about intermediate filaments and epithelial mechanics back on twitter. But you can also find it here :)
