so happy to have Katie as a colleague !

Nice interview to Katie Peichel @currentbiology.bsky.social I completely agree with her claims for more funding for curiosity-driven research, basic Science... Science. www.cell.com/current-biol...

looks like an ingenious combination of technologies to study out of equilibrium developmental processes ... Congrats !

⚡️ Don’t forget that we’re looking for a Tenure-track Assistant Professor in Quantitative Cell Biology @ UniBern! 🔬 Bridge experiments + theory 📈 Tackle processes across scales 💡 Join our vibrant research community Deadline Oct 17 👉 shorturl.at/1Y1WP

Summer break prevented me from properly advertising this serie of reviews on the function of cell death during development that I edited. There is still a lot to dig in regarding regulation of apoptosis in vivo ad I hope we managed to illustrate this well www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

2 weeks ago we were some of the first to see 'Cancer Revolution: Science, Innovation & Hope,' the astounding new exhibition from Breakthrough Cancer Research. Read more about this free interactive display & our involvement in the project along w/ @precisiononcire.bsky.social ucd.ie/sbi/news/new...

“New paper out 🎉 We built a system to automate optogenetic cell control across scales. For the demo, we made the cells spell my name — because if you can’t use science to feed your ego, what’s the point? 😎🧫✨”

Automated optogenetic control of hundreds of cells in parallel. Each cell is individually steered, collectively acting as a "tissue printer". Preprint & code out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congrats @lhinderling.bsky.social and team

So many people involved! Special thanks to @hannah-superres.bsky.social, Alfredo Rates, @olivierpertz.bsky.social, @nilsnorlin.bsky.social, Aliaksandr Halavatyi & Rafael Camacho. Link again to the paper: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Not only acquisition settings can be changed, but also perturbation: Popular is automated targeting of photomanipulation:

For example event-driven acquisition: rare events (here mitoses) are detected in a low-res overview scan, the microscope switches objective to automatically image only the mitotic cells in high-res. 🔎

🔬🧠 Our paper on smart microscopy & the issue of interoperability! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... LONG THREAD WARNING: Smart microscopy uses real-time image analysis to automatically guide the acquisition or perturbation of the sample (closed feedback-control loop). Many applications exist:

@lwellberg.bsky.social @josjonkers.bsky.social @olivierpertz.bsky.social @juliosaezrod.bsky.social please share with your followers - thank you!

Thanks for having me !

first data from the new LLSM in PertzLab @olivierpertz.bsky.social! i always thought nuclei were spherical but they are pancakes???? so much more to see in 3d, but data volume produced is insane, we will have to rethink our analysis pipelines. tips welcome! here shown in @napari.org

Loved the preprint, congrats on the paper!

New preprint out! We show how cellular nematic order can be harnessed to program tissue-wide force fields and guide 3D shape transformations. The tissue morphogenesis logic, now engineered into living, programmable materials. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #ActiveMatter #TissueEngineering

I'm honored - writing blogs for @the-node.bsky.social‬ has been a fabulous experience and thanks to y'all for reading and amplifying bsky.app/profile/biol...

@lhinderling.bsky.social just defended his PhD with highest honors! 🌟 From code to cells, he blends computation + biology like few can. Proud to have supervised such a brilliant scientist. Watch out—Lucien’s going far! 🚀 #PhDDefense #QuantBio #CellBiology #RisingStar

We’re hiring! Join us as a TT assistant professor in quantitative cell biology @UniBE. We’re looking for an experimentalist (bonus: modeling/ML/computer vision). Vibrant research, Alps nearby. 🏔️ Details: shorturl.at/PKUDU DM me with questions! #AcademicJobs #QuantBio #CellBiology

Our newest paper is out in NCB. @jrwconway.bsky.social‬ designed a new FRET reporter, Illusia, to show the importance of integrin β1 phosphorylation dynamics in 3D invasion! Video: TNBC cells expressing Illusia with a Src (Saracatinib) or SHP2 (SHP099) inhibitor. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The effector caspases drive cell death, but their activation can often be survived, so how do cells make this decision? Our new preprint from @levayerr.bsky.social shows that instantaneous caspase activity is important, but past activation has a key role to play! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📢Seminar Announcement 📢 We're looking forward to welcoming @sonnenlab.bsky.social this upcoming Monday, May 19th, as the next speaker in our Monday Seminar Series! She will discuss "Signalling dynamics in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis” More info on our website ➡️ izb.unibe.ch

Sometimes you just have to escape to the mountains to stay sane. Snow still rules up high, but carrying skis through valleys is the price. Skiing in May? Worth every step. #MountainTherapy #SkiingInMay

Probably the most macabre piece we’ve written: dying epithelial cells gossip their death through signaling waves that ripple through the tissue. Even crazier, cancer cells hijack this gossip to survive cancer therapies. Thanks @paologagliardi.bsky.social for writing this with me ! shorturl.at/s1py6

Congrats @lhinderling.bsky.social for getting a prize for this art piece on coordinated motility of breast cancer cells. Beautiful but also deadly ….

Cell and developmental biologists: as you start looking at conferences in 2025, consider joining us at the 2025 Cell Contact & Adhesion GRC. We've assembled a strong and diverse program of speakers at the cutting-edge of science in our field 1/n Please repost www.grc.org/cell-contact...

Yes, this will be a classic for Rho signaling !

very cool !

New work out in @naturephysics.bsky.social Led by @NicaGutu & Malthe Nordentoft + great collaborators. We show that circadian synchrony shapes cell growth. When coordination is lost, clock–cell cycle coupling breaks down. May help explain paradoxes in circadian cancer biology. 📖 rdcu.be/efNaY

How do embryos ensure precise tissue patterning? It’s all about timing cell divisions! Our new preprint reveals how cell proliferation syncs with signaling oscillations to regulate precision of somite formation and growth. Check the full story: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Cloud attack on Matterhorn today

Unique opportunity to join the CytoMorpho Lab (in Paris ❤️) as a postdoc to work on the self-organization and polarization of reconstituted networks made of microtubules, motors and actin filaments in vitro. Experience required. Please Repost 🙏 thanks !

Rare Disease Day 2025: it’s hard to celebrate this with the NIH budget cuts, threats to Medicaid funding and lawsuit to end Section 504 Disability rights - all of which will severely impact individuals with rare diseases like my daughter Margot. We wear our stripes, we advocate and we fight!

First meaningful message: @lhinderling.bsky.social did it ! Super easy benchtop microfluidics !

finally migrated from the other place ... Feels good !
