We are super excited to announce the long overdue creation of a UK Wnt signalling research network. Currently comprised of 24 labs across the isles but seeking more - please email [email protected] to join! Check out our first newsletter below 👇 👇 👇 shorturl.at/bsLOU

!!🚨New pre-print alert🚨!! Super excited to share our first proper foray into developmental biology: doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…! Below is a little 🧵of how we got here...

Our latest on planar polarity mechanisms: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… No long thread (be grateful!) but the highlights are in the graphical abstract. We're excited because after decades of work we think we're moving towards a molecular understanding of what the proteins do.

We are hiring a research specialist to help launch our lab at The University of Chicago. How does biology use physics to sculpt complex visceral organ shapes? We address the dynamic & mechanical interactions between tissue layers that link genes to geometry. uchicago.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job/C…

📢 We're hiring! 📢 Interested in the mechanisms that control size during development and evolution? We're looking for two postdocs to join our lab The Francis Crick Institute. Details below⬇️ Please RT🙏 tinyurl.com/TaponLabJob1 tinyurl.com/TaponLabJob2

We´re hiring! 2-year #postdoc position opening in my lab Universität Münster to work on membrane trafficking and epithelial tissue dynamics in #Drosophila. For details, see shorturl.at/auBW4 the Node Please RT

Maib (Hannes Maib), Francesca Bottanelli Petia Adarska David Strutt and colleagues present a toolkit for visualisation of phosphoinositides in fixed cells and tissue, enabling multiplex and super-resolution characterisation of these crucial signalling #lipid. hubs.la/Q02rZg790

Our latest work on the interplay between microtubule and actin forces during cell shape changes is now out in Nature Communications. Congratulations to Sameedha Thale and amrita singh!!! rdcu.be/dECXn

How do butterflies grow intricate nanostructures on their wings? Our work, out today, extends our understanding of the role of actin. By vicky lloyd The University of Sheffield rdcu.be/dIrgO

Check out our new preprint on the Activation of Planar Cell Polarity Signaling by Shear Forces to Coordinate Vascular Cell Dynamics done in collaboration with GalicLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Can't argue with first read the Drosophila papers, but read the frog, fish and mouse ones too!

For my planar polarity follower(s?), we have a new paper out on Fat-Dachsous. Fat-Dachsous are known to interact (signal?) in trans between cells, but we now find a second (more important!) trans-interaction suggesting new models for Fat-Ds clustering sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Matakatsu and Fehon UChicago Biological Sciences show that Dachsous and Fat function together to restrict growth by coordinately removing a “core complex” consisting of Dachs, Dlish, and Approximated from the junctional cortex. hubs.la/Q02SmKvR0 #CellSignaling #Development

New work by @theajacobs_ @sfb1348.bsky.social Universität Münster shows how actomyosin contractility at #tricellular junctions is modulated to control epithelial permeability in #Drosophila. See our preprint bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest on planar polarity mechanisms. Painstaking work by Alexandre Carayon, investigating mechanisms of cell-scale polarisation in the fly wing. Enjoy it (if this is your thing)! David Strutt Wnt UK Molecular and Cellular Biology @DRN_Sheffield

Beautiful work, showing radial cell behaviours in #morphogenesis, similarly to my previous work ⁦@MRC_LMB⁩ ⁦in Katja Roeper⁩ lab. “Radially patterned morphogenesis of murine hair follicle placodes ensures robust epithelial budding” cell.com/developmental-…

Postdoc position available in the Röper lab at the University of Cambridge! PDN Cambridge Join us and discover the role that control of cytoskeletal dynamics, crosstalk and cell adhesion play in the formation of the nephron tube in human renal organoids! jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48947/

📢We have a 3y postdoc position available in our interdisciplinary team Institut Curie #Paris Join us if you're interested in epithelial tissue morphogenesis using live imaging, quantitative biology & (opto)genetics. institut-curie.org/team/bellaiche Please RT!

Our latest work is out!! Short thread below. cell.com/developmental-…
