☕Using #pancreatic #organoids, Lee et al. show that the balance between epithelial tissue permeability-driven lumenal pressure and cell proliferation affects ductal morphogenesis.

Very excited about this new preprint, in which @juliacoronasserna.bsky.social shows how cells ensure that fusion with another cell is irreversible!

Really excited to share our new paper in @nature.com! We uncovered how a physical instability of the cytoplasm coupled with the cell cycle drives cytoplasmic partitioning in early embryos #zebrafish #drosophila. Read more in this🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🤩

Latest work from the lab by Aude Nommick et al., in which we propose a "size-scaling" model for microtubule force exertion that regulates centrosome centration vs decentration during embryo development!

Happy to highlight our collaborative work from our @ijmonod.bsky.social team with @destriano.bsky.social, B. Goyeau and M. Chabanon.
Cytoplasmic crowding acts as a porous medium that hinders macromolecular diffusivity.
Plus: a clever way to measure cell volume.

📃 Girdin controls the pace of 3D tracheal cell intercalation by coupling adherens junctions to the actin cytoskeleton in Drosophila
🔗 journals.biologists.com/dev/article-...
I am very happy (and a bit scared) to present to you what we have been working on over the last 4 years. This manuscript is exactly what I dreamt of when I started the lab and I could not be happier and prouder of the outcome!

📣 New preprint from the @minclab.bsky.social
📃 A CROSS-SPECIES ANALYSIS OF CELL WALL MECHANOSENSORS
🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
👉Excited to share our latest work @natmicrobiol.nature.com, revealing a decrease in cytoplasmic crowding during filamentous growth in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Furthermore we found that inhibition of ribosome biogenesis can trigger filamentous growth in this pathogen

Incredibly excited to receive an ERC Consolidator Grant. This recognition means a lot for what we’ve built so far and for what’s ahead.
Thank you to all collaborators and supporters.
Looking forward to getting this project going!

Tissue stress measurements — our latest preprint is out: arxiv.org/abs/2512.00550
(publication coming soon!)
Fantastic work by the three musketeers — @luanger.bsky.social, @andreasschoenit.bsky.social and @fanny-wodrascka.bsky.social — in collaboration with P. Marcq!
Above: transverse sections of neurulating chick embryos stained for DNA (methyl green) and F-actin (TRITC-phalloidin), without and with the addition of the phorbol ester PMA. Below: computational simulations of pseudostratified epithelia, with different apicobasal/lateral tension ratios. Either PMA treatment in embryos, or lower ratios in simulations, cause epithelial instability evidenced by extensive cell extrusion.
Paper alert! Mechanical conditions preventing live cell extrusion during primary neurulation in amniotes. @sabr-bio.bsky.social article published as pre-proof in @cellsdev.bsky.social! doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...
