C'est cela, la vraie cancel culture : le pouvoir politique qui décide seul des savoirs qui méritent d'être créés et diffusés.

Ever wondered how cancer cells “decide” to spread? When high-grade breast cancer cells get crowded, they shrink and become more mobile, turning a non-invasive tumour into a threat. Scientists have identified the molecular switch behind the change. buff.ly/8JIDzDF

Congrats @clairedessalles.bsky.social !

In @naturephysics.bsky.social, researchers from @priscaliberali.bsky.social's lab and @ehannezo.bsky.social's group reveal how intestinal organoids form crypts, key to gut regeneration and stability. Their work could impact tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. www.fmi.ch/news-events/...

Hi - I draw along talks for a hobby - making #sketchnotes, mainly #science, sometimes #politics that I publish on my blog: bio-mat-sketches-mor.blogspot.com

In Memoriam: Wolfenson, Giannone, and Schwartz recall the life and many contributions of Michael Sheetz, who passed away on January 30, 2025. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Oh, and… did I mention you can also remove artifacts (ie., structured noise) from your data? This #MicroSplit micro-🧵 is meant as a little teaser. Full story (a massive collaborative effort with a ton of amazing people) will drop next week. 🤩

Welcome to the lab @clairedessalles.bsky.social !

🔔🧪 I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Michael Sheetz, a true pioneer in #mechanobiology. I'll always cherish our lovely times in NYC, Singapore, Zurich, and Sydney. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends in this difficult time. So long, Mike 🥺😔

Interested in the cell biology of the nucleus? Join us for this unique exciting meeting that covers everything from nuclear biophysics and mechanics to signaling and evolution😍 amazing speaker list and more will be selected from abstracts 🤩
