What if we stop asking only how cells build tissues and ask how tissues shape cells?
That’s what we’ll explore at Modelling Life from Tissues to Cells 🇨🇭

Lab's latest and Alessandro's finest... gut muscle makes gut grow and sustains female reproduction
Now online! The sex and reproductive plasticity of intestinal muscles instruct gut size dlvr.it/TTzVqf
... and from Paco Garcia Garcia and team @CIPFciencia
Co-led with @svernia with important contributions from @HietakangasLab, Reijo Käkelä and team

Lab's latest: sculpting sex-biased metabolic territories in the intestine by tuning ploidy and lipid metabolism. Myc is to blame and Laura, Pedro and Chris found out

Elisa de Launoit ... Nicolas Renier developed LAMBADA – a resource for registering and annotating optically cleared developing mouse brains with high temporal resolution, enriched by aligned spatial transcriptomics. cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
#SingleCell #SpatialBiology – at Province of Tomsk, Russia
The beautiful PhD work of our postdoc @elisa_delaunoit is out! cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
Why chatter among organs matters... thanks @newscientist for featuring some of our work newscientist.com/article/251…
Congratulations to our very own
@ameliejoly.bsky.social
on being awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions European Postdoctoral Fellowship. Excited to see where it takes her!

Visibility in Academia, like in the world, is not fixed; it is produced. This piece “What Cell Biology Reveals About Academia” is a reminder that everyone has the potential to be either seen or unseen.

🚨 You have two more days to submit your abstract for #EESSexDifferences. Don't miss this opportunity!
The deadline is 28 January 👉 s.embl.org/ees26-07-x
This brand new symposium will highlight a range of topics, including sex hormone regulation of health and immunity, genetic differences that lead to disease, and mosaicism.
📢 EMBO | EMBL Symposium 'Sex differences in health and disease'
🗓️ 27 – 30 April
📍 EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual
Three layers of sexual dimorphism within the same neurons... three steps to reproduce. Congrats Dafni, Bryon and team!

now or never, submission deadline Jan 19th!
⏰ The abstract submission deadline for #EESSexDifferences is fast approaching! Don't forget to submit yours by 19 January 👉 s.embl.org/ees26-07-x
This brand new symposium will explore how sex influences health and disease through genetic, hormonal, immune, metabolic, and environmental factors.
Session topics:
🔹 Development and evolution of sex differences
🔹 Sex differences in organ function and physiology
🔹 Plasticity of sex differences, gene-environment interactions, and ageing
🔹 Sex differences in immunity and autoimmunity
🔹 Differences in disease susceptibility, progression, and treatment response
🔹 Systems and engineering approaches to sex differences

Selective vulnerability of certain cell types to loss of dosage compensation. Post-embryonically, most tissues can do without it - except for a subset of adult progenitors. Congrats Océane, Bruno and Lucie! cell.com/current-biology/ful…
Pathways of Pain: @Joly_amelie_ and I enjoyed writing this perspective on @hollyingrahamSF’s latest work for @ScienceMagazine @UCSF
