🎯For #chemotaxis, cells measure concentration gradients either in space📏or time⏱️- but why? Information theory suggests why small & swift bacteria use temporal sensing, but slow eukaryotes not - just out: PRX Life, Physics of Life Dresden cfaed | TU Dresden 🇪🇺 TU Dresden journals.aps.org/prxlife/abstra…

My PhD work is now available in bioRxiv! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… We investigated how mesenchymal-epithelial transition affects tumor growth, focusing on cell adhesion signaling pathways and morphology-driven changes in the interactions with immune cells ⬇️🧵Fischer-Friedrich lab

#Epithelial #morphogenesis requires #folding. In our latest study, we elucidate how tissues can fold through #BasementMembrane degradation in the absence of tissue growth using #PlateTheory. Check it out under onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Good morning colleagues, has anyone experience with publishing in the journal "Cell proliferation" from Wiley? Are they handling the process professionally and timely?

You think revolving around yourself makes you grow? That’s not necessarily true for the #development of #Drosophila #EggChambers - check out our recent collaborative work with the Dahmann lab. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15… . Congrats to Akanksha Bhatt and Valentin Ruffine 👏🥳

🚀 Looking for an #HFSP ally? We’ve got you covered with #AtomicForceMicroscopy, #CellCulture, #Mechanobiological #Modeling, & more! 🤝 Interested? Let’s connect! 📧 Details 👉 physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de #Collaboration

Surprised by how long it’s taking PNAS to process our manuscript. Anyone else having trouble recently? #AcademicTwitter #Publishing

We are excited to welcome you at the Dresdner Kulturpalast! The exhibition is suitable for all ages 🎉🤓

Congrats to Yanin Guerra Santillan who presented her postdoc project on #basementmembrane today at #GRC on #adhesion and #CellContacts 👏

Why do secondary #tumors go for #MET during the metastatic cascade? Our new study suggests that immune evasion—rather than faster proliferation—might give them the edge. 👉 cell.com/iscience/fullt… #CancerResearch #TumorBiology #Immunology #Metastasis

How do individual proteins sculpt the epithelial basement membrane? Our new study uncovers their role in network structure, nematic alignment & fractal patterns. 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #CellBiology #ECM #BasementMembrane #Drosophila
