Together with @plantophagy.bsky.social, we have an opened postdoc position for a young scientist that graduated after 01/01/2025, see ad attached

Out now in @currentbiology.bsky.social the improved version of our paper! I am very proud of this work with @ckirchhelle.bsky.social, @nathan-german.bsky.social, Annamaria Kiss, @moritznowack.bsky.social and others! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Plant cells at the organ surface use mechanical cues to activate a specific growth-control program

During morphogenesis of multicellular organs, cells in distinct positions need to meet specific functional requirements to form the appropriate tissue…
