Briefly, after organ injury, 100 milliseconds, we detected collective changes in membrane potential at the tissue level. This is so far the earliest detected wound-response!! This electric signal sparks the formation of a tissue-wide calcium wave👇

New paper alert!🤩Super proud that our story led by superstar postdocs @liujinghui.bsky.social and @nerlielisa.bsky.social is finally out! We found how electrical signals are key for promoting organ regenerative growth!!! A thread 🧵https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aec0687

A 16h sur @franceculture.fr Sciences Chrono parle de "Forme et croissance" de D'Arcy Thompson. Comment ce livre paru en 1917 a-t-il transformé l'histoire de la biologie et de notre compréhension de la morphogénèse? Quelles lois physiques et mathématiques sous-tendent les formes multiples du vivant ?

New preprint out! In this study, we introduce NanoFLex, a strategy that combines #HaloTag variants with #nanobodies -based immunolabeling to enable rapid, OneStep-IF #lifetime #multiplexing.
