Very nice work from colleagues on the nematic organization of cellular tissues👇
Great to see such a clear focus on how parameter choices influence the analysis and the conclusions we draw, together with a detailed look at defect behavior across cell types!
All you ever wanted to know about how to analyse the nematic nature of cellular tissues is right here 👀👇🏼!
Bonus #1: we did it for many cell types and uncovered unexpected defect behavior 🐌
Bonus #2: for theoreticians looking for parameter values for your simulation🧑🏼💻

@mhakala.bsky.social shows that HRS forms bidimensional condensates onto endosomal membranes to flatten clathrin/ESCRT-0, an observation unexplained since the 2000s. Thx to Kukulski lab, @stefvass.bsky.social @colomlab.bsky.social @kaksonen.bsky.social @mishakudryashev.bsky.social

Plenty of opportunities for talks, especially for early career! Don't hesitate to send an abstract!
So proud of my amazing previous colleague at Yale, Sheng Chen and all the colleagues for this paper on topological control of spontaneous failure in active nematic solids! It's on @natmater.nature.com .

Congrats to all authors: @dedenonmathieu.bsky.social, @rouxlab.bsky.social and especially Nicolas Rembert for pushing this project from his internship through his PhD!
