Thrilled to have contributed to this @nature.com study on ethylene and cell wall mechanics in root compaction responses!! — Featuring Jiao Zhang, Lucas Peralta Ogorek, @borgesaugust.bsky.social , Bipin Pandey, Staffan Persson, Wanqi Zhang, Malcolm Bennett & more!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mechanical forces can affect the way tissue grows. Ideally, we want to characterize them without interfering with the processes we are studying. Is there a way to achieve this? I am @borgesaugust.bsky.social Welcome to my stress inference tutorial! #EpithelialMechanics

Can we use morphology and dynamics to understand the mechanical state of tissues better? Here is a brief thread about our recent mini-review with @osvaldo-chara.bsky.social !
