We investigate how mechanical interactions between neurons and their environment contribute to CNS development and disorder. @Cambridge_Uni @MPZ_PhysMed @UniFAU
Susie’s paper is online! Great collaboration with @Franze_Lab , Shi-Lei and @EdouardHannezo
Online now: Differential tissue deformability underlies fluid pressure-driven shape divergence of the avian embryonic brain and spinal cord dlvr.it/TKg6Yw
hey science friends, in case you didnt already know, everyone is over at the blue place. come on over, its hoppin'!
And it is out! Check out the new story of the lab that shows how nuclear deformabiliy influences their movements…and when… cell.com/current-biolog…
Thanks @DionnHargreaves @LabWoolner @Dev_journal for highlighting our preprint! Curious how mechanical and chemical signaling guide axon pathfinding—or how frogs are an excellent model for unpicking this question?@Franze_Lab @EvaPillai 🐸🧠 Check it out. #xenopus #Devbio
In preprints: unpicking chemical and mechanical crosstalk for axonal pathfinding @DionnHargreaves and @LabWoolner discuss the #preprint from @EvaPillai, @SudiptaM1994, @Franze_Lab et al. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…
Thanks a lot for choosing our preprint and for the very nice prelight!

in vivo optogenetic control of actomyosin contractility deep within the zebrafish brain
Now that we have polished it a bit, we are excited to share our new preprint with you "Local optogenetic NMYII activation within the zebrafish neural rod results in long range, asymmetric force propagation" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Cool work here…!
Excited to share our latest work on an image analysis paradigm that combines cell state and morphology analyses of patient biopsies at single cell resolution to uncover clinically relevant head-and-neck #cancer phenotypes! @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/… tweetorial👇
Frog job alert!
Hey #Xenopus enthusiasts, my lab at Pitt is looking to recruit a Ph.D. student through our Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Program to continue our work on how allotetraploidy has shaped gene expression during early development! Please spread the word! @frogwranglers
🚨 Super psyched this story is finally out! Herculean effort and 3rd chef d’oeuvre in @NatCellBio by @patriziaromani in just 5y, where we describe #mitochondrial #mechanotransduction. nature.com/articles/s4155… Megathread with bonuses ⬇︎⬇︎⬇︎
5. a lot still on the table: - the MIEF1 kinase - how phosphorylation affects fission - what other mitochondrial functions - how mitochondrial length regulates tx factors - relevance for physiology and disease Work with us to develop these projects! t.ly/2wptI
Check out our new preprint where we show that cell shape noise facilitates shape transitions! It was a heroic project led by @WolframPonisch (theory) and @IskraYanakieva (experiments) and a great collaboration with @GSalbreux Summary in Wolfram’s thread biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
