One of the most exciting discoveries from our lab so far is now online as a preprint! Read a story on how the ParMR and Min systems started to collaborate to create the CorMR cytoskeleton, which now controls cell shape in multicellular cyanobacteria: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to present the final version of our Cadherin and gastruloid manuscript, online at @cp-cellreports.bsky.social. www.cell.com/cell-reports... Initially in BiorXiv (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) 1/12

Very happy to share our latest work extending iterative immunofluorescence to in toto imaging of early zebrafish embryos (3D-4i), integrated with a 3D-dedicated image analysis pipeline! 🐟🔬📊 Huge kudos to Max Hess for this PhD milestone! 💪 @lucaspelkmans.bsky.social shorturl.at/cO0u7 Let's zoom in!

Cell-cell contacts orchestrate tissue assembly and diverse cellular interactions. 🎯But what mediates their intricate patterns?🤔 Join me, @feyzanar.bsky.social, in exploring the interplay of adhesion and subcellular mechanics in contact patterning.

📢‼️ Exciting new preprint from the lab by @nikhil-mishra.bsky.social et al, now out on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social, reveals that the early embryo geometry spatiotemporally patterns zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in zebrafish. 🐟 tinyurl.com/Biorxiv-nmis... Read on to learn more... 👇
