Very happy to have this work finally published! How do embryos sculpt their shape? We map the contractile & adhesive forces shaping early C. elegans embryos. With K. Yamamoto @ittoku04.bsky.social G. Charras' lab @gcharras.bsky.social & my team @turlierlab.bsky.social shorturl.at/xv7G5 1/6

I had the chance to highlight some amazing #DevBio from @gcharras.bsky.social and @herveturlier.bsky.social for @natcellbio.nature.com this month! Check out my Research Highlight www.nature.com/articles/s41... and the original article in @cp-devcell.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Great scientific times with @bimidu.bsky.social at @columbiauniversity.bsky.social. Many thanks for your warm welcome and inspiring chats. Looking forward to more interactions!

We made the cover 🤩 !! Check out this incredible painting by @kahsage.bsky.social !!

Very glad to see this great transatlantic collaborative work published 🎉! Congratulations to all authors: @henrydebelly.bsky.social, @andreu Fernandez Gallén, @ericneiva.bsky.social, and @oweinerlab.bsky.social Funding from MSCA @ec.europa.eu & @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social

Very excited to be sharing our new paper, just out in Nature Cell Biology! The big question we investigate: How do migrating cells put their front 🔴 and back 🔵 in the right place?

The @sfb1348.bsky.social Meeting “Mechanochemical Signals at Cellular Interfaces” is just around the corner! We are excited to welcome an outstanding lineup of international speakers to #Münster for three days of inspiring scientific exchange and discussion. @uni-muenster.de

A real computational tour de force by @ericneiva.bsky.social, carried out as Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow in the team, now published in the Journal of Computational Physics: urlr.me/AuzK86 Congratulations, Eric! @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social Grateful to @ec.europa.eu for funding support

Just published 📢 @herveturlier.bsky.social and I show how the most advanced unfitted finite elements can increase our capacity to investigate fundamental problems in cell morphogenesis. 👉 Link to paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.jc... 🚀 Stay tuned for future applications to animal systems!

How can we learn tissue mechanics directly from cell patterns and images? In our new preprint, we introduce VertAX, a differentiable vertex-model framework in JAX for simulating epithelia, inferring parameters, and designing target tissue behaviors. shorturl.at/PUzT0 1/5

Glad to see our work discussed in Quanta Magazine shorturl.at/VXa7E. In the early embryo, building a cavity can start by “fracturing” cell-cell contacts, creating microlumens that then coarsen into a single cavity. @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Excited to start a new chapter with my team’s relocation to the Pink City, at @cbitoulouse.bsky.social! Looking forward to new scientific interactions on campus (@laas, LPT, IRIT, ANITI…) at the interface of biology, physics & computational science. @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social @occitanie.bsky.social

Great time with @sugimuralab.bsky.social, Shuji Ishihara and colleagues at Tokyo University 🇯🇵. Thank you for your very kind welcome and great scientific discussions 🙂

Very excited to share a new preprint by @ericneiva.bsky.social who developed a first-of-its-kind finite element method for simulating 3D cellular dynamics with coupled surface–bulk flows and signaling.

First post on bsky for a very good news. Very glad to be awarded this HFSP with @chemamd.bsky.social & @baronelab.bsky.social to study the evolutionary biophysics of spiralian early asymmetric divisions ! @hfspo.bsky.social @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social @collegedefrance.bsky.social @cirbcdf.bsky.social

Barone Lab@baronelab.bsky.social · last yr.

Good news alert! We are among the 2025 HFSP awardees! In a fun project developed together with @turlierlab.bsky.social and @chemamd.bsky.social we will study the polar lobe of spiralian embryos. Very excited about the opportunity to explore this unique mode of asymmetric cell division. Stay tuned!
