🥳Our paper on the interplay between mechanical and long range chemical signals in #nervous system #development is now available as a #preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
#mechanobiology #chemicalsignalling #piezo1 #axonguidance #xenopus. @Franze_Lab @SudiptaM1994
How did life begin, and why does it matter today? Excited to have contributed to this @ASMicrobiology report, supported by @MooreFound, exploring 3 key steps in Earth’s history - from simple cells to complex life- what it means for the future

Thank you @DionnHargreaves, @LabWoolner, and @Dev_journal for highlighting our @SudiptaM1994 @Franze_Lab preprint! Chuffed to see it through different eyes! 🙌

Thanks @DionnHargreaves @LabWoolner @Dev_journal for highlighting our preprint! Curious how mechanical and chemical signaling guide axon pathfinding—or how frogs are an excellent model for unpicking this question?@Franze_Lab @EvaPillai 🐸🧠 Check it out. #xenopus #Devbio

I am so happy to see our @biorxiv preprint now published in @pnas @PNASNews. Reverse development in a ctenophore. @JoanJSoto @MSarsCentre @UiB
pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24… #ctenophores
Our short report on a remarkable feature of #ctenophores out now: Reverse development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis. We show that Mnemiopsis is capable of reversal from mature lobate to early cydippid🤩. @MSarsCentre @UiB @biorxivpreprint #rejuvenation

Let's talk about numbers and human embryos. In 2019, 675 human embryos were donated for research in the UK, and 172,915 human embryos were discarded. Meanwhile, 58% of patients would like to donate their embryos for research theguardian.com/science/2023….

New Preprint! How can cells polarize in the absence of a stimulus? We suggest a surprising biophysical mechanism, protein caging!
We reveal how the complex mechanical interactions at the cell surface lead to symmetry breaking.

Roger Tsien’s @CamPhilSoc lecture in 2015 was one of the most memorable talks I’ve *ever attended. He literally illuminated our field -from brain activity to every glowy 💡creature we have today. A trailblazer and inspiration!
Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, who died on August 24, 2016. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more! #FluorescenceFriday

Preprint alert! We show that the electrical maturation of neurons is regulated by environmental mechanics in vitro & in vivo, and we identify a mechanotransduction pathway. A tour de force by Eva Kreysing et al, great collaboration with @ThoraKaradottir. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
