How is metabolism interconnected with cellular dynamics? We are @EManiou and @hpscenthusiast and through an energy inexpensive process, we will highlight advances in mechano-metabolism and related fields🧵@epimechfc
Now out! I'm beyond thrilled to share our method for dynamically measuring neurulation forces. We hope that our addition to the toolkit will push forward the quantification of living tissue mechanics. @ElvassoreL @GabeGalea @UniPadova @DBC_ICH @MSCActions nature.com/articles/s4156…
We are back this Thursday with two fascinating talks on morphogenesis and pattern formation!🌟 @NerurkarLab and @AnaisBailles will share their latest insights. Mark your calendar so you don’t miss it! 👇👇 🗓️ Nov 21, 12:30 EST / 18:30 CET / 17:30 UTC 🕥
A little bit of push and pull to migrate, one cell at a time 🦋

Check out the fun review about @jduquell s et al. work from @G_Charras lab ^^
How do tissues maintain their integrity? Let's discuss epithelial fractures! High tissue tension can cause cells to break their contacts, leading to rupture!
