#NOTtheCover Unfortunately, we didn't make the cover @Nature. I still think our proposition deserves sharing. Enjoy the read: https://t.co/hBM8qMEuTg

Now out in NSMB for those who missed our biorxiv back in 2023..
The missing piece in the bacterial #ESCRT-III story.. #Vipp1 forms dynamic spiral filaments on membrane! Spirals are springs that drive 3D ring formation in the spiral centre! 😎😵💫 Wonderful collaboration with @Colom_D @RouxLab… 1/2 https://t.co/BRJhMGRE8u

It's great to see this now published @PhysRevE! https://t.co/gjsgtMKTV7 See below for a thread summarising the preprint - but of course you should read the paper for some solid mechanics...

Buckling instabilities driven by tissue growth underpin key developmental events such as the folding of the brain. Tissue growth is disordered due to cell-to-cell variability, but the effects of this...
New #preprint: Buckling by disordered growth. A great #mechanics collaboration @mpi_pks @csbdresden with @RicardAlert, led by Rahul G. Ramachandran, available at https://t.co/fipuut7ZEJ.

Leaving the '60 years of EMBO' meeting with a lot of new ideas and inspiration - and a walk through fields and forest. What a supportive science community - even ran into some colleagues from Geneva :) @UNIGEnews

🔬✨ New insights into tissue regeneration! Our study uncovers a novel mechanochemical mechanism in Hydra, revealing how mechanical forces and Wnt signaling work together to create intricate tissue patterns. #Cnidarians #Hydra #Biology #Regeneration

The spontaneous emergence of tissue patterns is often attributed to biochemical reaction-diffusion systems. In Hydra tissue regeneration, the formation of a Wnt signaling center serves as a well-kn...

Great story from @AnaisBailles on the role of #mechanics in initiating the remarkable #Hydra reformation from #singlecells to functional #animal. Supported by @GiuliaSerafin12 HCR, @carldmodes & @zechnerlab modeling & Heino Andreas Hydra husbandry @mpicbg @csbdresden @PoLDresden
Very happy to share the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab! https://t.co/0gmwblw1Wb. We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)
