A mix of physics and biology, from molecules to tissues
This Children's Day, kids at Dolna-NCBS's on-campus childcare facility, enjoyed a magic show! For 25 years, Dolna has supported our researchers, empowering them to focus on their scientific careers with an assurance that their children are nearby in a safe & nurturing environment
#NOTtheCover Unfortunately, we didn't make the cover @Nature. I still think our proposition deserves sharing. Enjoy the read: nature.com/articles/s4158…
Now out in NSMB for those who missed our biorxiv back in 2023.. rdcu.be/dZSPQ
The missing piece in the bacterial #ESCRT-III story.. #Vipp1 forms dynamic spiral filaments on membrane! Spirals are springs that drive 3D ring formation in the spiral centre! 😎😵💫 Wonderful collaboration with @Colom_D @RouxLab… 1/2 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Following the wave of scientific labs migrating to bluesky, we will soon close this account, please follow us on @rouxlab.bsky.social.
It's great to see this now published @PhysRevE! doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe… See below for a thread summarising the preprint - but of course you should read the paper for some solid mechanics...
New #preprint: Buckling by disordered growth. A great #mechanics collaboration @mpi_pks @csbdresden with @RicardAlert, led by Rahul G. Ramachandran, available at arxiv.org/abs/2407.07540. @mpicbg
How did the characteristic pattern of embryonic cell divisions during animal development evolve? nature.com/articles/d4158…
Our latest #Ichthyosporean #EvoDevo story, led by M. Olivetta @ChandniBhickta @NChiaruttini & in co. with @burnsajohn is finally out @Nature . Link⏩: nature.com/articles/s4158… Preprint⏩: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/5)
Beautiful work! Congrats!
✨Cool to see our work with @WollertLab on the front page of @NatureSMB "Remodeling membranes into phagophore-like cups" rdcu.be/dY7e8
🎉 We are excited to share that the Scienscope has received the Médaille de l’Innovation 2024 at the Dies academicus @unige_en! 💫 More info: ow.ly/S6VY50TYaXS #Innovation #scicomm #FacSciUNIGE #UNIGE
Congratulations to both the Scienscope @sciences_UNIGE and the Poliscope from the Faculty of Social Sciences for this well-deserved award @unige_en which highlights their innovative contribution to the dialogue between science and society

Welcome Nir Gov, Marko Kaksonen @marko_kaksonen, Snezhana Oliferenko @KingsCollegeLon, Benjamin Podbilewicz @Podbilewicz_lab, Dominique Bergmann, Susan Holmes, Tuuli Lappalainen @tuuliel, Mikhail Savitski @embl, Tanja Stadler @TanjaStadler_CH, Ariel Amir @Ariel_4321 #EMBOat60
Leaving the '60 years of EMBO' meeting with a lot of new ideas and inspiration - and a walk through fields and forest. What a supportive science community - even ran into some colleagues from Geneva :) @UNIGEnews
🔬✨ New insights into tissue regeneration! Our study uncovers a novel mechanochemical mechanism in Hydra, revealing how mechanical forces and Wnt signaling work together to create intricate tissue patterns. #Cnidarians #Hydra #Biology #Regeneration biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great story from @AnaisBailles on the role of #mechanics in initiating the remarkable #Hydra reformation from #singlecells to functional #animal. Supported by @GiuliaSerafin12 HCR, @carldmodes & @zechnerlab modeling & Heino Andreas Hydra husbandry @mpicbg @csbdresden @PoLDresden
Very happy to share the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)
What an amazing end to the 2024 @unigeSciMedPhD conference in Schwarzsee, Switzerland 🇨🇭I am immensely thankful to have been selected for the Best Talk sponsored by Nikon, all of which wouldn’t have been possible without my amazing colleagues and friends from the @RouxLab ❤️
🚨New preprint alert🚨Interested to know how clathrin-independent endocytosis and retrograde transport in cancer cells tune their ability to stimulate CD8 T cell activation? This story is for you #cell #biology #immunology. Congrats to the first author @ShiqiangXu 🙌🏻
