Our latest work is out on BioRxiv 🤩 If you're interested in pericytes, cell migration on patterns or physical modeling, this one is for you !

Please RT: We are recruiting a Senior Laboratory Research Scientist in our lab The Francis Crick Institute to study cell and tissue mechanobiology. European Research Council (ERC) #biophysics #mechanobiology #ECM #organoids crick.ac.uk/research/labs/…

📢New preprint alert for vascular biologists, bioengineers and living matter physicists! " Interplay of actin nematodynamics and anisotropic tension controls endothelial mechanics. " Or the story of what happens to a living tissue when you pull on it ? 💪

In our new bioRXiv, @yamini-ravichan.bsky.social shows that soft compression of head-regenerating tissues from Hydra induces bicephalous regeneration. During soft compression, a second actin nematic defects appears on the wound. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

These toroidal tissues with defects are now able to generate adult toroidal Hydra with head and feet that are functionally viable! #hypeforhydrozoa

🧵 Excited to share our latest preprint on bioRxiv: "Actin Dynamics Sustain Spatial Gradients of Membrane Tension in Adherent Cells"! 🚀🧬 In this thread, we dive into the fascinating world of membranes biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #CellBiology #Biophysics 1/12

Our preprint was featured today in preLights The Company of Biologists. Thank you Vibha Singh for the interesting questions of the mini-interview and the summary you made!

3-year funded post-doctoral position to study oocyte development using a combination of cutting-edge approaches in cell biology and biophysics. If you are interested and want to know more about the project, please send a CV and contact me.

It was fun to learn and discuss cool science at ASCB | EMBO Cell Bio meeting! Thanks to all the ones who stopped by my poster! #CellBio2024 American Society for Cell Biology EMBO
