Check out my first #preLight on the work of Sokol's team exploring PCP and mechanosensation! It was so much fun to pick a preprint, read it, write about it, and even get to ask the authors questions directly. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of many more preLight posts to come! 🙌

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...

🚨📣 New preprint alert! Excited to share my new postdoc work on direct force and mechanical properties measurements in live embryos! A great team effort with A. Chamolly (theory), under the supervision of F. Corson and @jeromegros.bsky.social 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #devbio #mechanics

How oncogenic clones can eliminate their neighbours to take over space ? There are different ways combining growth and interfacial tension induced compaction. Check out our latest preprint led by Léo Valon and Alexis Matamoro-Vidal to learn more about this 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
