Very excited this work is out in @NaturePhysics. A wonderful collaboration between my group @MIT and @PhysOfLifeLMU.
Optogenetically induced chemo-mechanical excitations are used to drive and study shape deformations in starfish oocytes. Understanding and eventually controlling such waves is important for the development of synthetic cells. https://t.co/F6DKoijE3k

Now out! I'm beyond thrilled to share our method for dynamically measuring neurulation forces. We hope that our addition to the toolkit will push forward the quantification of living tissue mechanics. @ElvassoreL @GabeGalea @UniPadova @DBC_ICH @MSCActions

Collective cell motion has many forms, but rotation is the coolest of them all. I'm @onenimesa, and in this short🧵, I'll highlight some instances of global tissue rotation like this one from @BauschLab

Check out our latest work @Kasza_Lab on 3D epithelial cell rearrangement on bioRxiv: Cell rearrangement progression along the apical-basal axis is linked with 3D epithelial tissue structure
biorxiv.org
Epithelial tissues undergo extensive structural remodeling during embryonic development. Tissue remodeling is often enabled by oriented cell rearrangements that are linked with patterns of mechanical...
