And I can't imagine a better timing to see my PhD story out @PLOSBiology ! https://t.co/8EiVNuxP1N Check it out to see how actomyosin cortex maturates through cleavage stages before it gets busy with driving the morphogenesis and how we can see these changes using #PeCoWaCo !

Check out the preprint of my main work in the lab of @XavierTrepat @IBECBarcelona. Many thanks to all the people involved!
New preprint! 🚨 We uncover a slow adaptation to stretch that links star-bundling of keratin filaments with nuclear escape from its keratin cage. Led by @tom_golde 🙌 @IBECBarcelona

Have you ever thought about inflating tissues? Or maybe quickly deflating those inflated tissues? New #EpithelialMechanics pre-print: https://t.co/b7PVuHZVCO 🧵with pressure control, multiscale buckling, patterned wrinkling

to buckle or not to buckle that is the question🤔 So great to see this work out!! Big congrats to @onenimesa and the team!!👏
🚨 Second preprint of the week! We uncover the multiscale dynamics of active viscoelastic buckling in epithelia. We harness these mechanical instabilities for synthetic morphogenesis. Led by @onenimesa🙌. Theory by Marino Arroyo and team. https://t.co/Gtmqggt4ou

Amidst these troubling times, I have some positive personal news to share: I will be joining @IMBA_Vienna as a new group leader this fall! 🎉 I am excited for fun projects, surprising discoveries, and great discussions within the fantastic science community @viennabiocenter.
We are excited that former Birnstiel Award laureate @KStapornwongkul will soon join the campus upon starting her lab at @IMBA_Vienna! https://t.co/qQVDOG5y68

It is #FluorescenceFriday! Perfectly suited for Valentine’s Day—a 2-cell stage mouse embryo where actin staining created a heart-shaped negative space around its nucleus🔬. Captured it 4 years ago, but still one of my favorites for this time of year ❣️
