🪇Nou vídeo! Aquest cop faig ressò d'una notícia científica: Han trobat com fer la pell transparent amb el pigment dels Doritos! 🫥😱 youtu.be/G7slf5lm6Kw?si… Neurones Fregides 🍳


Cells move in groups often led by specialised leader cells. Work Nature Physics by Ricard Alert Zenón MPI-PKS Dresden & collaborators shows that leader cells cannot autonomously guide groups: followers must contribute to build a global force asymmetry for group motion. doi.org/10.1038/s41567…


📢 The call for distinguished MPI-PKS Dresden fellows is open! We provide excellent 3-year postdoc positions that allow full independence to outstanding candidates. Please apply!

Check out this opportunity for summer internships in biological physics! Please apply before Dec. 9th to work for 3 months with one of the groups MPI-PKS Dresden.


Check our new paper Physical Review E showing how spatial variability in growth affects the buckling transition! Useful way for tissues to control buckling just by localizing growth. With Rahul G. Ramachandran and Pierre Haas MPI-PKS Dresden. See Pierre's thread below! journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1…
