Our work is finally out! How do organs get the right shape and size on time? Using the zebrafish inner ear canal, we show that a mechanical feedback loop between the ECM and Yap1 drives timely tissue growth, and a built-in termination system shuts it down once morphogenesis is done.

A self-limiting mechanotransduction feedback loop ensures robust organ formation - Nature Communications

Developing tissues must acquire the correct shape. This study shows that mechanical feedback between the extracellular matrix and Yap sustains timely tissue growth, while Adgrg6 terminates the feedbac...

We would like to add one or two postdocs to our lab in the next couple of years. If you are close to finishing your PhD and interested in the science we do, feel free to reach out to discuss opportunities.

In the very first days of life, not all embryo cells are truly identical. Small differences in an enzyme called CARM1 guide the timing of cell changes that decide which cells make the embryo, and which make the placenta. buff.ly/YAZZ2Rs

Our latest preprint! Into morphogenesis, Yap, ECM, signaling, vertex models, feedbacks/robustness? There is something here for everyone. We discovered a positive feedback loop that extends inner ear canals, and a built-in mechanism that shuts it down when morphogenesis is done. tinyurl.com/464wsjhd
