New paper alert!🤩Super proud that our story led by superstar postdocs @liujinghui.bsky.social and @nerlielisa.bsky.social is finally out! We found how electrical signals are key for promoting organ regenerative growth!!! A thread 🧵https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aec0687

Now #published @cp-cellsystems.bsky.social: "Impossible ecologies: Interaction networks and stability of coexistence in ecological communities" doi.org/10.1016/j.cels.2025.101297! With @yumeng0806.bsky.social, @szhorvat.bsky.social, Carl Modes @mpipks.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de @csbdresden.bsky.social.

REPOSTING a recent work to announce a start on Bluesky :) 🌐 If you are looking for Friday readings— www.nature.com/articles/s41... an article I and Tom Burkart (@physicsoflifelmu.bsky.social) wrote, featured as a @natphys.nature.com research briefing! From my PhD in @fakhrilab.bsky.social at MIT!

Very excited about the new avenue!! The physics of bioelectrical signalling in tissues, and the molecular mechanism it employs to ensure correct organ regeneration. Check here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Stay tuned for more from us in the coming future!!

Injury-induced electrochemical coupling triggers regenerative cell proliferation

Organ injury triggers non-neuronal electric currents essential for regeneration. Yet, the mechanisms by which electrical signals are generated, sensed and transmitted upon damage to promote organ grow...

How can organs regenerate fast? Bioelectricity helps -- by coupling sub-second electrical injury signals to regenerative proliferation. First preprint from my potsdoc :D with @liujinghui.bsky.social @ritamateus.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de and collaborators @mpipks.bsky.social @csbdresden.bsky.social

Super proud of our collab!!

We may not have really squared the circle — but we came close! 😉 In our @NaturePhysics paper w/ @fakhrilab.bsky.social, light-triggered membrane excitability enables programmable shapes — a step toward engineering living matter. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #biophysics #syntheticcell #softmatter

Congrats Rita!!
