Upcoming Symposium! Physics of Adaptation and Decision making in Biology! When: September 16 Where: Amsterdam, The Netherlands Join us here: www.fluidlab.nl/padm25 Speakers: Ray Goldstein, Sujit Datta, @thomasshimizu.bsky.social, @mirnakramar.bsky.social, @blarson.bsky.social, me

Brand-new conference on collective behaviour! Join us to foster a community to study how interactions among the constituents trigger fascinating collective phenomena: biofilms, fish schools, tissue self-organisation, bird swarms & many more! Thanks to amazing speakers for helping us realise this!

EMBL Cell Biology and Biophysics department is searching for a new director. A major position to lead this field in Europe and beyond. embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/j...

Our new paper is out! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 #criticality #ghostcycles @mpinb.mpg.de

Our new paper in #PRE @physreve.bsky.social‬ on how #criticality governs the response of systems with 👻 #dynamics ("ghost cycles") to external inputs compared to #slow-fast systems: journals.aps.org/pre/abstract... Had a great time working with ‪@koseskalab.bsky.social‬ and Ulrike Feudel, TY! 😊

🔔 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 🧵⤵️

We are @SIAMDS25 in Denver! Visit our mini-symposium on the Role of Transient Dynamics and Switching Transitions for Natural Systems today from 5-7pm and tomorrow 8:30-10:30am. @mpinb.mpg.de

Welcome, Laeschkir! :) Looking forward to doing science together!

Welcome to the DB unit, Laeschkir Würthner @lwuerthner.bsky.social! Laeschkir is a scientific officer in the Graf group @isabellagraf.bsky.social. He will use concepts from the Physic of Life Theory to better understand self-organisation in biological systems under changing environmental conditions.

Welcome to the Bluesky page of the Developmental Biology Unit at EMBL @embl.org! Follow us for updates on our research #devbio and activities

Are material phase transitions more than simple regulators of tissue deformability? Check our latest work uncovering that rigidity transitions can trigger cell polarity! Congratulations to @laura-rustarazo.bsky.social , @crisp-c.bsky.social and Adrián for leading this work!

🎉 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! 🙌 🧵⤵️

Thanks, Jim Shelton, for highlighting our recent work, now out in PRX Life! news.yale.edu/2025/01/23/h... And, of course, many thanks to Asheesh Momi, @m-abski.bsky.social, Julian Rubinfien, and Ben Machta!

Very happy to have contributed to this work that is now out in PRX Life! t.co/dqyKhSQF4n

I am very excited and deeply honored that our most recent work on #FLASHPAINT was highlighted as one of the methods to watch by @naturemethods.bsky.social' @ritastrack.bsky.social in the context of ‘spatial proteomics’ as Nature Methods' Method of the Year 2024. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How can randomness be a source of living order? Can physics explain how an embryo emerges out of chaos? In this new paper in Science, Bernat Corominas-Murtra, @ehannezo.bsky.social & cols. show how embryos solve their own Rubik’s cube ist.ac.at/en/news/from...
