At the ICBP in Genoa for the week ! Looking forward to many cool talks (hard to pick which sessions to attend), and to many scientific (and non-scientific) discussions

Super opportunité pour les lycéennes de première ! Une semaine d’immersion à l’ESPCI Paris, pour découvrir le monde de la recherche: visite de labos, expériences, ateliers, rencontres avec des scientifiques…. Tout est pris en charge sauf le trajet. Deadline 31/07 www.espci.psl.eu/fr/actualite...

Message in a bottle: does anyone around here knows of, or has access to, patient galactograms (old school way of looking at mammary ducts) usable for research purposes ? - or any other imaging that gives access to mammary gland geometry/organization

Have you ever wondered if fish yawn? (and if they do, what that tells us about yawning?) The first preprint from the lab and a serendipitous observation ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

European postdocs (and future postdocs): get ready ! Apply to this @helloeacr.bsky.social 3 year postdoc fellowship in cancer research. Outline of proposals to be submitted by August 19th 🤓🔬🧑‍🔬👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 www.eacr.org/eacr-fellows...

On my way back from Mons - thank you @sgabriele.bsky.social and Nikon for inviting me to this 3D imaging and mechanobiology symposium - very nice and interesting interactions (and I even got the super cool Ti2 Plushie 🔬🤩)

All you ever wanted to know about how to analyse the nematic nature of cellular tissues is right here 👀👇🏼! Bonus #1: we did it for many cell types and uncovered unexpected defect behavior 🐌 Bonus #2: for theoreticians looking for parameter values for your simulation🧑🏼‍💻 tinyurl.com/2s399yen

Such a cool system - recreating mammary glands in vitro ! Congratulations to the team

New paper from Kiemen and Wirtz groups. Using a new workflow, we map the 3D spatial distribution of immune cells in the vicinity of precancerous lesions. These maps reveals localized immune remodeling during early pancreatic cancer progression. More here: www.cell.com/cell-press-b...

At @ethz.ch today for a mechanobiology seminar ! Thank you Michele Nava for inviting me - looking forward to some nice interactions here 🔬 👩🏻‍🔬

Have you submitted your abstract yet for #EACR2026 Congress (Budapest, 8-11 June)? Don't miss the exciting opportunity to showcase your research and build new connections and collaborations with the global cancer research community. You have until 04 March to get your submissions in: 2026.eacr.org

📢Internships on cellular nematics! 🔬Come for the pretty images, stay for the cool physics: each project combines in vitro experiments with advanced microscopy and image analysis. 📧Feel free to DM or email me with any questions.

Happy to present the final version of our Cadherin and gastruloid manuscript, online at @cp-cellreports.bsky.social. www.cell.com/cell-reports... Initially in BiorXiv (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) 1/12

Cadherins modulate the self-organizing potential of pseudo-embryos

Gastruloids derived from ES cells mimic embryonic patterning through robust self-organization. Mayran et al. uncover that this competence depends on a cadherin switch regulated by Snai1-driven E-cadhe...
