☕Meiring, Mahapatra et al. show that expanded microtubule lattice conformations, such as those induced by small-molecule taxanes, can lead to the release of GEF-H1 and thus induce RhoA activation.

What determines how epithelial cells divide when shape cues disappear?
Our new work in @natcomms.nature.com shows that divisions follow maximal stress anisotropy — a “principal-stress rule” beyond Hertwig’s long-axis rule.
Fantastic work led by @luanger.bsky.social

Can having too much make us less resourceful? 🧪

A Science & Society article reflects on how scarcity can encourage #creativity and thoughtful use of resources in #science, and asks whether today’s abundance may have the opposite effect: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1038/s44319-026-00883-5

🚨Our work #ReScale4DL: balancing pixel and contextual information for enhanced bioimage segmentation, with @henriqueslab.bsky.social is out today!🚀
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
ReScale4DL links key concepts in DL (receptive fields)+microscopy (resolution) so they can work #bettertogether😉

How do epithelial cells make a lumen as they polarize? We have some exciting new answers to this long standing question. Check out our new paper in which we show that lumen initiation is driven by large vacuoles that deliver a pre-assembled apical cortex to the AMIS: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cngratulations to @JoanaESaraiva and Sandra from the lab on their new review @embojournal.org we discussed few points about the coordination of cell state transitions in #embryos and #regeneration

Also welcome @joanaesaraiva.bsky.social to BlueSky!

Is euchromatin really “open”? 🧬 Using super-resolution imaging🔬 our new study @natgenet.nature.com reveals: Euchromatin forms condensed domains in live cells. Cohesin constrains them and prevents domain mixing for proper transcriptional insulation🚧 🔗

Our step-by-step protocol for generating mesodermal/limb bud organoids (“budoids”) from mouse stem cells or primary limb buds is now out! 🧫🦵

We hope it makes the system easier to adopt and build on in other labs!
