Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on our article!
Thrilled that our team clinched both 1st and 2nd place in the image contest! đ„đ„ Huge applause for everyoneâs creativity and excitement in front of the microscope. Letâs keep inspiring each other! đȘâš #Teamwork #Science
Appreciate Quanta for shining a light on our joint work with Simon Gsell, Sham Tlili (@shamtlili.bsky.social), and Matthias Merkel (@merkellab.bsky.social).
And usually, the sky is blue in Cassis, near Marseille!
In this review, Weichselberger, Moore et al. discuss how physics-based approaches
illuminate organoid development and homeostasis by integrating mechanical, chemical,
and informational processes. They...
Katia took the initiative to start a Xenopus project in the lab a few years ago âand now her work is highlighted by Development! Huge congrats, Katia!
I am very excited to share my first news&views article doi.org/10.1038/s415... discussing the exciting paper www.nature.com/articles/s41... by @pflenne.bsky.social lab! Thanks to the editors @naturephysics.bsky.social for giving me this chance đŁđ„đ
đŁExciting meeting ahead!
Join us at Shaping Life 3 in beautiful Cassis next June!

Biophysicists are realizing that there is an undervalued element at play in early development: Aside from genes, mechanical forces also steer the growth of embryos. @annademming.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/genes-have-h...
Spherical aggregates of mouse stem cells exhibit symmetry breaking by forming an elongated axis. This extension is driven by a recirculating Marangoni-like tissue flow, providing insights into the tis...

The same pulling force that causes âtearsâ in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. Itâs another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development.
