Very important report @petridou_ni linking #mechanochemical signalling to fate transitions https://t.co/NKG9NLsRVr wide/significant implications. Perhaps the clearest indication so far of HOW mechanical signalling can control patterning of gene expression #MustRead #NotInTheGenes

It's my birthday today, and I wrote this thing on my blog about how I experienced the last year: https://t.co/CVUG84vJIw. I really needed to get this out of my system. Millions are missing, and nobody seems to care. #MECFS #MCAS #LongCOVID

Each month an #egg is ovulated from the #ovary, starting the journey of reproduction. But how does ovulation occur?π₯ Our latest work in @NatureCellBio led by @LastChrisThomas and @Tabea_Marx, describes the control of #ovulation using live imaging. https://t.co/EYjwLfdAdy (1/7)

In Clytia embryos, a single Wnt ligand source independently orients PCP to guide morphogenesis and regulates axial gene expression. Was this coupling mechanism at the origin of animal axis specification? https://t.co/PJZTvpc0KW Elegant study led by @tsuyoshimomose
