An important topic (certainly close to our hearts): how slightly different progenitors may cooperate and synergize to produce robust collective decisions. Thanks, Alfonso, for putting these different pieces of work into perspective!
A clear/significant finding derived from the single cell (sc) analysis of biological systems has been the realization that phenotypically homogeneous populations are heterogeneous at the level of gene expression (GE). www.cell.com/fulltext/S00... 🧵

Gene expression is a fundamentally stochastic process, with randomness in transcription
and translation leading to cell-to-cell variations in mRNA and protein levels. This

Thrilled to share new Evo-Devo work where we address the molecular, cellular & morphometric basis of an extreme axis segmentation program in the Japanese eel — an animal that forms 120 vertebrae.

Happy to share this work from Carlos Camacho de la Maccora that reveals how rates of posterior progenitor addition and anterior vacuolation are balanced across the notochord. With Alberto Ceccarelli and @osvaldo-chara.bsky.social we present a model of long-range communication to provide robustness.
More insights into junctional neurulation using the bird embryo as a model system! 🐣
Please check out our new preprint! Together with @sarathomasy.bsky.social and led by DVM/PhD candidate Raneesh Ramarapu, we used 3D imaging + quantitative analysis to show how the corneal endothelium maintains a stable layer and refines hexagonal packing during development.

Excited to share our new publication on the mechanics of cranial neural tube closure. A really enjoyable and fruitful collaboration bridging Developmental Biology and biophysical modelling. Take a look here!

Excited to start a new chapter with my team’s relocation to the Pink City, at @cbitoulouse.bsky.social!
Looking forward to new scientific interactions on campus (@laas, LPT, IRIT, ANITI…) at the interface of biology, physics & computational science.
