Lab packed. Home packed. Somehow, everything fits in a truck. 📦🧪🚚 After 9.5 amazing years in Copenhagen, it’s time for the next adventure. Germany, here we come! 🇩🇪

Beautiful overview on basal body patterning by @raghavan-thiaga.bsky.social and of course please check his latest work on dynamics of basal body patterning in 🐸 multiciliated cells!

From single-celled organisms to ciliated epithelia in metazoans, precise positioning of basal bodies (BBs), which anchor motile cilia, is essential for generating fluid flows. Here, I, @raghavan-thiaga.bsky.social, will take you on a brief tour of how cells build this spatial organization.

🧵 New protocol out in @cp-starprotocols.bsky.social! Step-by-step guide to infer forces in tissues using ForSys, by @borgesaugust.bsky.social, Jeronimo Miranda, Alberto Ceccarelli, Guilherme Ventura, @kuba-sedzinski.bsky.social, @hernanlopez-schier.bsky.social and I, www.cell.com/star-protoco...

💥 🚀 New preprint! 🎉🥳 How do hundreds of organelles organize themselves into near-perfect patterns inside a cell, without a blueprint? We dive deep into how basal bodies (BBs) self-organize in MCCs - and how actin actively tunes their dynamics into order 🍪 🧵👇 (1/17)

Jonathan Rodenfels @mpi-cbg.de, Pablo Sartori @gimmfoundation.bsky.social, and Tommaso Cossetto identified two thermodynamic rules governing the growth and energy utilization of single-celled organisms. Publication in @nature.com Communications. www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

New Review! #devbiol #bioelectricity #CellBiology #tissueregeneration In our new @annualreviews.bsky.social piece, we explore how bioelectricity is generated, sensed & translated into responses that sculpt tissues, guide growth & enable tissue regeneration. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Are you interested on how regenerating tissues transit between stages? Am sharing here our work showing that during #Xenopus tail regeneration, tissue stiffening activates a Piezo1-Yap1 mechanosensitive cascade to allow wounded epithelia to transit into regenerative states!

🧵1/14 Preprint thread! Can we predict a cell’s fate based on its dynamics? 🔮 Our new study unveils a framework for watching development unfold in real-time, revealing how a cell's shape and movement encode info about its future fate. 🔬📄 Preprint: tinyurl.com/4shf8v4x
