Tissue rigidity phase transition shapes morphogen gradients
💫 led by @cami-autorino.bsky.social
This work represents the core of my PhD work with @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social at @embl.org and would not have been possible without my amazing colleagues + collaborators (especially my co-authors @crisp-c.bsky.social and Adrián!). Thank you also to the reviewers and everyone else who contributed.
⚡ Our paper is now out in @natphys.nature.com !
This version now includes a detailed molecular characterisation of the optogenetic perturbations, new insights on the relevance of tricellular junctions for tissue morphology, and beautiful light-sheet timelapses. 🔬

...and here is @embl.org's press release on the two latest papers by @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social's group on how rigidity phase transitions guide 1️⃣ tissue organisation and 2️⃣ morphogen gradients in embryonic tissues. 🐟

Adhesion-driven rigidity transition decoupled from density-driven jamming triggers epithelial organization in embryonic tissues
