💪 Great pleasure to host @ardemp.bskyverified.social from @scripps.edu this week.
🧪 Fantastic keynote on PIEZO ion channels as essential pressure sensors for touch, pain and beyond.
Excellent discussions on proprioception, pain, parturition, mechanobiology, and cell & molecular biology!
Exciting @embo.org Symposium @embl.org Heidelberg. Congrats to organizers. 🙏🏼 for the invitation! Inspiring to hear from so many systems bacteria, fungi, plants, ciliates, choanos, hydra, nematodes, insects, vertebrates to get at Principles.
EMBL is a wonderful place, my Alma Mater 🤩
Great mug!

En sa belle jeunesse, en sa première fleur,
Rendre le ciel jaloux de sa vive couleur,
Quand l’Aube de ses pleurs au point du jour l’arrose »
Many thanks @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social from @embl.org Heidelberg for visiting us @centuri-ls.bsky.social and giving a truly exciting talk on cell division timing and phase transition during embryogenesis 🤩! Developmental biology is really cool 😎
Visiting Duke Univ. yesterday. What a treat to be hosted by @akankshi.bsky.social Munjal (former PhD std) 🤩 and spending time with fantastic trainees & wonderful faculty, such as
Stefano di Talia @ditalialab.bsky.social. Many thanks for the invitation 🙏🏼. A place full of talent & energy.
Pierre Chambon was a great scientist. And a good man too. He alone opposed to leading British embryologists during the evaluation of a case of scientific misconduct more than 40 years ago, to defend young scientists against an establishment to which he belonged. An unforgettable lesson. RIP Pierre 💐

What changed since the preprint? Wonderful experiments disentangling the effect of receptor binding vs tissue porosity on Nodal diffusion, plus one of the smoothest review experiences! Thanks @natcellbio.nature.com & reviewers 🙏
Autorino et al. report a feedback loop between Nodal signalling and tissue phase transitions in zebrafish embryos. Nodal alters adhesion, triggering tissue rigidification and reduced porosity, which l...
Here our latest work on how morphogens trigger tissue phase transitions to tune their own length-scales and time-scales - An exciting collaboration with @zhvas.bsky.social @dianakhorom.bsky.social Bernat Corominas-Murtra and heroic experiments by the incredible @cami-autorino.bsky.social @embl.org
Nicoletta Petridou
🔔 Proud to share the preprint of my PhD work in the Petridou group @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social @embl.org ✨
