1/3 Now online! We show that epithelia can feature multiple types of liquid crystal order that co-exist at multiple length scales: being hexatic at single-cell scale and nematic at tissue scale. Fantastic collaboration with the Giomi-team Leiden Institute of Physics (LION). nature.com/articles/s4156…

Pros & Cons of Assembly Theory paper in nature TL;DR People are upset but not 100% justifiably IMO and some seems to stem from targeting one of the lead authors Prof. Lee Cronin while ignoring (surprise-a woman!) the other Sara Imari Walker . Paper has merits but some claims are wrong 1/19

We’re very excited to share our latest paper in Current Biology! Check out @VKchoux’s & Maria Balakireva's work investigating how cell geometry regulates the spatial distribution of apoptotic cells in developing epithelia: 🧵 illustration: lale alpar cell.com/current-biolog…

📢We are recruiting! Please RT! Daniele Fachinetti and I are looking for a #postdoc candidate to look into the mechanics of chromosomes during early mammalian development. Come join us Institut Curie in the centre of Paris !

This is a microscopy image rendered on blender using the tif to blender add-on by Oane Gros. Their yt tutorial is very well done, it's really easy to get amazing images.

The course website for the spring EMBO DL4MIA course launched today and registration is therefore now open!!! meetings.embo.org/event/24-deep-… The goal of the course is to familiarize life science researchers with state-of-the-art DL techniques for microscopy image analysis! 🧐 👍 🧑‍🎓

Glad to see our recent work on the control of apoptosis by cell geometry from: @VKchoux & Balakireva M. et al. cell.com/current-biolog… Now! featured on “the cover” of Current Biology. A big thanks to Teng X. & Yusuke Toyama For their superb dispatch. cell.com/current-biolog…

Our first paper is out in Cell! Led by Rohith Rajasekaran, we present a programmable reaction-diffusion system that generates synthetic protein waves, oscillations, and patterns for spatiotemporal circuit design and FM data-encoding in human cells. authors.elsevier.com/a/1iN8ZL7PXmeeN
