Beautiful, thorough, personal in places, memoir of John Gurdon from Eddy de Robertis, disciple and friend. Γ
#MustRead about a generation and a time from which we have moved on but that laid the foundation for contemporary biology.

In @jcb.org, Diaz & @mayorlab.bsky.social show that epithelial & mesenchymal cells navigate chemical cues via fundamentally different force-generating mechanisms, offering new insight into how diverse cell types achieve collective movement during development and disease. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Frictiotaxis underlies focal adhesion-independent durotaxis - Nature Communications
Cells typically migrate toward stiffer substrates via durotaxis, relying on focal adhesions. Here, the authors show that confined cells can migrate up friction gradients without focal adhesions, revea...
Check out our new work @natcomms.nature.com! @mayorlab.bsky.social discovered that cells perform durotaxis even without focal adhesions. How? Well, we found that they actually follow friction gradients β a new mode of directed cell migration that we call frictiotaxis!
