@clementrodier.bsky.social
Postdoc in Mongera Lab at UCL. PhD done with Frank Schnorrer at IBDM. All in in vivo.
We‘re looking for a motivated Master student to join our team! Do you want to optogenetically control metabolic activity to see how metabolism affects patterning and morphogenesis? 💡🧫🧬🔬 Then please apply! #optogenetics #metabolism #devbio #hESCs Please RT. Thank you!🙏

New preprint @biorxiv-devbio.bsky.social by Harshath Amal and colleagues from our lab @uni-muenster.de shows how a BMP #morphogen gradient is translated into graded junctional permeability by tuning adhesion and actomyosin contractility in #Drosophila See tinyurl.com/yhbwd9xh @sfb1348.bsky.social
Two funded PhD positions investigating the evolution of sarcomeres @ibdm.bsky.social in @biancah0406.bsky.social and our lab, together with @cnidevo.bsky.social - Interested to explore how similar or different Jellyfish sarcomeres are to Drosophila or human ones? www.ibdm.univ-amu.fr/ibdm_job/2-a...
We are particular fans of DySTrack (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...) by @zimengwu33.bsky.social & Jonas Hartmann at UCL for live tracking of dynamic samples & WaveOrder (arxiv.org/abs/2412.097...) by @mattersoflight.bsky.social et al as a wave-optical framework for scalable biological microscopy 🐟🔬
FocalPlane @focalplane.bsky.social · 7mo ago📢Our latest #preprint list is now up on FocalPlane In this list, we focus on new tools and techniques in imaging 🔬. Let us know if you have any recommendations that we have missed. focalplane.biologists.com/2026/01/09/m...
Curious to read about the 'Physical Basis of Sarcomere Assembly'. Here are some thoughts from @friedrich-group.bsky.social and me - you might learn the difference between nematic and smectic order in biological assemblies pubs.aip.org/aip/bpr/arti...

#Mastodon, the Command Center for Large-Scale Lineage-Tracing Microscopy Datasets, is finally heading for publication (well, let's see). To #cite or not to cite shall no longer be the question 🙃, because the #preprint. Software is available in every #Fiji near you. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Super cool work spearheaded by the amazing @agrigas.bsky.social! Excited for this collaboration with @manningresearch.bsky.social and for everything still to come! 🎉 Also thank you to @emaniou.bsky.social and @glgalea.bsky.social for your help!
Alex Grigas@agrigas.bsky.social · 8mo agoHow do sparse mesenchymal cells, with unique stellate arms spanning large gaps between cells, maintain their network while still flowing during development? In our new preprint we describe the avian PSM as a fluid under tension and develop new theory to explain it: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Very excited about this new paper out on bioRxiv, spearheaded by the fantastic Dr. Grigas in collaboration with @mongeralab.bsky.social and Galea labs.

There's an update on the state of FlyBase on the FlyBase.org front page. You can contribute to FlyBase at this link wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase... We express enormous gratitude to the people, labs, groups, and foundations who have already helped us. #FlyBase #Drosophila
📣Our project, “Mechanometabolic Control of Vertebrate Limb Elongation,” has been funded by Wellcome! Over the next 8 years, we’ll collaborate with @manningresearch.bsky.social and Nathalie Agar’s group to understand the mechanics of ECM-rich mesenchymal tissues! Funded positions available!🎉
[PUBLI] Observing muscle growth brick by brick A research project at the @ibdm.bsky.social, led by Clément Rodier, has recently challenged long-standing scientific hypotheses about how muscles elongate during development, thanks to advanced #microscopy. 🔗 Our article in comments
