To all biophysicists and biophysics lovers out there 🚨 @asciortino.bsky.social did it AGAIN 🔥
Check out his new preprint for a new way to think about how biological matter organizes: arxiv.org/pdf/2604.01057
The law of the jungle.
Interactions of cells in a collective lead to global rotation.
In 80% of the case HUVEC cells turn clockwise.
How many cells does it take for this to happen?
@ghinabadih.bsky.social and Laetitia Kurzawa from CytoMorphoLab concluded that "contractile forces direct the chiral swirling of cells".

Chirality is a conserved biological feature with critical implications in tissue morphogenesis
and embryonic development. In culture, multicellular...

Together with JF Joanny and Sudipta, we introduce a "new" kind of active phase separation inspired by experiments with motors and microtubules and based on transport of species along a polar "pump"!
