An aptly titled paper shows, for the first time, the significance of heterogeneities of gene expression in the construction of complex systems : fate decisions are group decisions. Previously @biorxivpreprint

1/ Our paper, “Enhancer binding kinetics explain transcription factor hub formation,” is now published! Here we set out to understand why transcription factors form bright clusters or “hubs” in the nucleus, and whether those hubs actually control gene activity.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. This video shows a group of neural crest cells (🟣) remodelling a mesh of fibronectin matrix (🔵). This is part of a biorxiv paper showing the reciprocal relationship between NC and neural tube morphogenesis.

#Macrophages are mechanosensitive cells. They respond to mechanical signalling from the surrounding tissue, such as during fibrosis. In this review, the authors discuss the significance of the macrophage-fibroblast communication in a profibrotic niche. #immune

How do long-lived multipotent stem cells cope with mechanical stress in vivo?
We found that neural crest cells are protected from mechanical stress during migration in confined tissue environment.

❤️ that the #NobelPrize brought the spotlight to #optogenetics. We use the same technique to study how cells move during development, like in this beautiful study by the Solnica-Krezel lab where they show mesoderm can influence endoderm convergent extension in 🐟!

Woah, such an invaluable resource! You can use this for your lectures too and can make a good resource for students! 🙌
An interdisciplinary #embryology book is out as #OER: @ecampusontario.bsky.social ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/principlesof... A teamwork turned raw lecture recordings into a colloquial writeup. Please pass any feedback & critiques! @isdb.bsky.social @swedbo.bsky.social @socdevbio.bsky.social 🧪🔬
Are #cilia still hot or ... 👀? Maybe it's time to learn how they are formed! This review by the Pereira lab discusses the structural composition of the distal appendages, how they form the cilia, and how they are regulated in cell cycle and in diseases! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Great new study from @knoblich-lab.bsky.social, led by @saku-wong.bsky.social, showing that
human cerebral organoids cultured for over six months can recapitulate postnatal interneuron migration 🧪🧬🧫🧠

Why does the same virus kill one host and spare another? The key is lung imprinting from a previous parasitic infection. Our new study @nature.com offers answers + critical mechanisms! Immense thanks to @KamalmKhanna and our collaborators. 🧵 #Diseasetolerance #NAMs

Regenerated fish retinas are similar to undamaged retinas, but display local patterning errors in comparison with undamaged retinas; new models could test their functionality recovery.
