Nice thread! @laura-rustarazo.bsky.social and @epimechfc.bsky.social

See you on Thursday! 🐟🔬🖥️

Looking forward to this meeting!! Join us this February in Heidelberg 🦋🪰🐟🐁🌱🧫🦠

EMBL scientists found metabolism controls embryonic development tempo through signalling in a way separate from its established metabolic function. More research related to this signalling could illuminate how it guides cell fate, developmental timing -- even disease. www.embl.org/news/science...

How can we use cell shapes and geometry to study mechanics of tissues? I'm @juliaeckert.bsky.social, and with this thread, I would like to show you the secrets of cells and tissues. Let’s connect biology with a little bit of physics. Don't be scared and get inspired 😀. #EpithelialMechanics

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

We are searching for an enthusiastic scientist to join our team and establish annual killifish as a model system for early developmental biology and biophysics! @embl.org @embldbunit.bsky.social Apply here: embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/EMBL/job/Hei... Please re-post 🙏

To all post-docs: The Genome Biology dept ‪@embl.org has an Independent faculty position. Fantastic place to set up your lab –great package: core funding, fantastic Ph.D. students, cutting edge core facilities & great colleagues. Closing date Sept 19th embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/j...

Happy to share that I defended my PhD this week! ✨✨It has been an amazing adventure full of learning, great science and incredible people here at @embl.org!✨✨ Looking forward to the next steps in my scientific journey 🔬🐟💛 If you haven't yet, check the preprint of my PhD research: bit.ly/45eBxOg

Brillouin microscopy showing strength in non-invasive, live-imaging applications! Studying fruit fly embryos during gastrulation as cells rapidly change shape @prevedel-lab.bsky.social @gomezjm-devmech.bsky.social @marialep.bsky.social characterised & mapped mechanical changes in 3D. rdcu.be/ev6ZX

Very important @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social‬ report #mechanochemical signalling control fate transitions www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... w/ wide/significant implications. Perhaps the clearest indication so far of HOW #NotInTheGenes cell interactions mechanical pattern gene expression #MustRead

🔔 Proud to share the preprint of my PhD work in the Petridou group @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social @embl.org ✨ “A closed feedback between tissue phase transitions and morphogen gradients drives patterning dynamics” 🐟 🔁 📶 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #devbio #biophysics 🧵⤵️

Fresh from the lab!

🎉 Excited to share our new work: “Adhesion-driven tissue rigidification triggers epithelial cell polarity”, now on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social ! A huge thank you to @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social, Bernat, @crisp-c.bsky.social, Adrián, and everyone involved! 🙌 🧵⤵️

Time to apply to the DevBio summer school at EMBL Heidelberg! Hands on and interdisciplinary!

📢 Last call for the EMBL International PhD Programme summer recruitment! This is a fully funded PhD programme fostering creative approaches to questions in the molecular life sciences. Join us in promoting scientific excellence throughout Europe. Apply now! www.embl.org/about/info/e...
