And now: Poster flash talks at #gfe2026 by Jorge Mañes-García (from @cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social), Benjamin Knüppel (from @bogdanlab.bsky.social), Isabel Pérez-Ferrer (from @eloisaherrera.bsky.social), Payel Banerjee (from @unipotsdam.bsky.social), and Katrin Domsch (@katrin-domsch.bsky.social)
Theresa Gross-Thebing (from Surani lab @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social) presents here study on the dynamics and "Sensitive tuning of cell fate specification by SOX17 dose during early human development" at #gfe2026
Vanessa Weichselberger (from @viktri08.bsky.social lab) uses mouse organoids to investigate how "Physical confinement shapes the morphogenetic landscape in gastruloids, generating distinct emergent patterns".
Girish Kale (@girishkalephd.bsky.social) looks at how "Elevated temperature fatally disrupts the interaction between microtubules and F-actin in the syncytial Drosophila embryo" leading to mitotic spindle failure and loss of nuclei during embryonic development
Takashi Hiiragi (@utrechtuniversity.bsky.social) investigates how the number of cells contribute to "Embryo size control"
Jean-Léon Maître (@maitrejl.bsky.social) presents the "Mechanics of blastocyst morphogenesis" -
demonstrating sub-cellular dynamics on shaping the earliest embryonic stages
We are entering session 2 of #gfe2026 to continue with "Fertilization and early development" chaired by Aydan Bulut-Karslıoğlu (@bulutkarslioglu.bsky.social) & Felix Gunawan (@gunawanlab.bsky.social)
Rita A. Batista (from @maxplanckcampus.bsky.social) shows refreshing timelapse movies how "PGR underlies the lineage-specific gamete fusion mechanism of brown algae" at #gfe2026
Patrick Müller (from @uni-konstanz.de) "The physical biology of time and tempo in embryonic pattern formation" - detailed comparison of developmental speed due to different diffusion coefficients between zebrafish and medaka nodal explains slower medaka development and broader temperature tolerance
Katja Röper (@katjaroeper.bsky.social) demonstrates that mechanical insulation is key to shape the embryo: "Supracellular actomyosin assemblies as coordinators of morphogenesis at the tissue-scale"
We continue with Aydan Bulut-Karslıoğlu (@bulutkarslioglu.bsky.social) who investigates "Gene-environment interactions in stem cells and development" - from mTOR inhibition to induce embryonic diapause also in human blastoffs and hypoxia being required for fore-/midbrain patterning.
Laura Lorenzo-Orts (@lorenzoorts.bsky.social) asks "Hold or release the message: Translational control in early embryos" - a #zebrafish study on how maternal contribution is regulated during embryonic development
Session 1 of #gfe2026 deals with "Fertilization and early development" and is chaired by Katja Röper @katjaroeper.bsky.social
First keynote lecture of #gfe2026 is given by Thomas Bosch (@uni-kiel.de) who presents "A microbial perspective on animal development and behaviour" - fascinating lessons from #hydra and the #microbiome
Welcome to the GfE Meeting 2026 joint with DSDB and SEBD in Potsdam. Salim Seyfried opens the #gfe2026 conference at Uni Potsdam. Let’s have amazing 4 days of science.
joint meeting of the German, Spanish and dutch societies for developmental biology 2026
it’s already … tomorrow?!
Who is heading to #gfe2026 in Potsdam? Looking forward to seeing you all and to discuss your science. #devbio
the GFE School will again take place at the amazing Wissenschaftszentrum Schloss Reisensburg www.uni-ulm.de/en/einrichtu...
