After seeing too many nail polish adds and untargeted fake content despite my weekly attempts of training the algorithm, I will move to 🦋 and hopes for more science 📊 Find me @chloeroffay.bsky.social

Breaking news: A 2020 paper that sparked widespread enthusiasm for hydroxychloroquine as a #COVID19 treatment has been retracted, following campaigning that alleged the research contained major scientific flaws and may have breached ethics regulations. scim.ag/3BA7Yfe
Excited to speak at next week’s VGZT!
Next week, we’re back with two unique development talks: mouse gastruloids 🐭 with @KStapornwongkul and turtles 🐢 with Agáta & Barbora. Mark your calendar—you won’t want to miss this! 🗓️ Dec 5, 12:30 EST / 18:30 CET / 17:30 UTC 🕥
Physical cell biologist Dr. Ewa Paluch shares how her upbringing in Cold War Poland shaped her scientific interests and discusses the importance of positive feedback and self-compassion. #50ScientistsThatInspire #CP50 Read the full interview: cell.com/news-do/50-ins…
昨晩公開のScienceAdvances論文(science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…)は、5年前の「細胞競合によるモルフォゲンノイズ修復機構(nature.com/articles/s4146…)」の続報です。青木さんを始め素晴らしい仲間たちの奮闘により最高傑作を生み出せました! 現象発見からゼロベースで立ち上げる研究、めちゃ楽しい!!
🚨You've been waiting for it, here it is! The Gastruloid Meeting will take place in Barcelona, Spain on March 20-21st 2025. Registration will be free but mandatory. Please let us know already if you plan on attending, using this link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… Spread the word!
Cell–cell junctions in focus – imaging junctional architectures and dynamics at high resolution journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13… What did advanced microscopists do to our point of view? #superresolution #volumeEM #optogenetics #biosensors with @vera_janssen1
Lab meeting with the Chan Lab The lab of @ChiiJChan1, based at the Mechanobiology Institute @NUSingapore, is interested in how mechanics regulates mammalian folliculogenesis and ovarian dynamics. Meet the lab and find out what it's like working @MBIsg: thenode.biologists.com/lab-meeting-wi…
Today was a 'And I get paid to do this!!' type of moment. Scientists, if you want to do exciting science working with top notch platforms that supports you all along the way, @viennabiocenter is the place to be! 🤩🤩
‘Be water my friend’ Intercellular fluid dynamics in tissue morphogenesis @CurrentBiology with @maitrejl and @Descroix16, we are happy to present you our new review: doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…
If you are looking for a robust cell tracking software that also detect cell division, this is it! Congrats @MaxBetjes and the all team! 🤗
Today our (me+Jeroen van Zon's lab) new 3D cell tracking software is out on biorXiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). Our student @MaxBetjes presents, what we think, is a fundamental advance in cell tracking: An algorithm that accurately quantifies the uncertainty of its results. 1/10
The life of each one of us began when a sperm and an egg came together. But what actually happens at a molecular level? Our latest work @PauliGroup @CellPress reveals a conserved fertilization complex that bridges sperm and egg in vertebrates! (1/8) cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
👩🔬Curious about #fertilisation and #development? Join Andrea Pauli’s group through the Vienna BioCenter #PhD Program (@TrainingVbc)! ⏳ Deadline: Today! 🚨 Apply now: training.vbc.ac.at/phd-program/ 📽️Watch Andi's 'Scientist Snapshot': youtube.com/watch?v=X9FN8v…
What if you could find out the history of signaling activity in each cell with a single round of imaging? Wouldn't that be incredible? Well, we thought so too. And that's what we set out to achieve with INSCRIBE in our new preprint. Let’s dive in! 🚀🔬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Super happy to see this heroic effort by @DimitriFabreges and Bernat Corominas out! Via a quantitative atlas of the developmental trajectories of dozens of embryos, we can see how robust shapes and fates arise from highly stochastic cellular processes! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/n
Our spotlight "Advancing stem cell technologies for conservation of wildlife biodiversity" now online in @Dev_journal's special issue on Uncovering Developmental Diversity. It has been an incredible privilege working with this fantastic group of authors! doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…
Our #CellLineOfTheWeek is SOX-2 - our first cell line to go into space! 🚀 Last year, @axiom_space and @CSRegenMedicine researchers @ArunSharmaPhD and @CliveSvendsen sent SOX-2 to the @ISS_CASIS to study stem cell production in microgravity.
Oh definitevely my next journal club! Congrats Henry 😁
Hello everyone, excited to share our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… ---- Everyday, cells like this crawl through your body to protect you. While we know that their front 🔴 and back 🔵 polarity programs work together, how exactly do these two processes communicate? Lets chat!
Mark your calendar for the start of SEASON 6 🗓️🌟 Join us as we dive into cutting-edge topics: - A new model for morphogen diffusion with Gavin Schlissel 🐭 - Primordial germ cell migration with @katie_e_goodwin 🐭 🗓️ Oct 10, 12:30 EST / 18:30 CET / 16:30 UTC 🕥
Our study decoding gastruloid symmetry breaking is now live @NatureCellBio! rdcu.be/dVMLG Thank you to the NCB edititorial team and to our reviewers for a constructive review process which helped improve our study. A thread on updates (1/n):
