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...

Spread the word - we at @stanford-chemh.bsky.social are searching to fill a new junior faculty at the interface of molecular and computational science. See link below!

Thrilled to share the first story from my postdoc! 🎉 A wonderful experiment + simulations collaboration. In the Drosophila wing, we find that 3D cell shapes affect signalling range and fine-tune developmental patterning www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thread below ⬇️

An exciting new paper from the lab! Check it out:

Check out this work from @gserranonajera.bsky.social and Apolline Delahaye! They show how gastruloids can employ different morphogenetic strategies to set up a body axis. It nicely builds from Guillermo’s PhD work recapitulating gastrulation modes in the chick: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It is day 3 of our #ResearchAppreciationDay2025 countdown! Dr Filipa Simões and team reveal how immune cells shape the heart from the earliest stages and guide regeneration in species like zebrafish. 🔬 Read the review: shorturl.at/kIYBf

Pathway to Independence – an interview with Giulia Paci In this interview, @giuliapaci.bsky.social talks about physics, mechanics, comics, her research journey, and the importance of public engagement: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Hot off the press!!! Proudly presenting our lab's new review on how do cells communicate to control organ size :) We focus specially on dynamic connections that operate at different timescales to regulate organ growth and morphogenesis. #devbio #SizeandShape www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📢 Final hours to register for the Plant Computational Biology Workshop 2025! 📢 Don’t miss your chance to take part in talks and hands-on sessions with other plant modelling enthusiasts🪴 Deadline tomorrow (31 July) - www.slcu.cam.ac.uk/computationa... #ComputationalBiology #PlantSci

Grateful and excited to launch the Otsuki Regeneration Group at the Hubrecht Institute! 🔗 www.hubrecht.eu/research-gro... We study how tissues regenerate - and use those principles to build 3D tissues in vitro. Full announcement: www.linkedin.com/in/leo-otsuk... @hubrechtinstitute.bsky.social

Cells in a regenerating axolotl limb somehow know their place—but how? In our new paper, we trace the dynamics of positional memory, release open-source code to quantify it, and introduce a theoretical framework for proximalisation. 🧵👇 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/n)
