Felicidades!!

Congratulations!!

Keep an eye on this…!

This is a good meeting!

New paper from our lab and @friedrich-group.bsky.social !! Insights into morphogen gradient scaling to regenerate a limb at the appropriate size. #axolotl, #limbregeneration

Huge congrats to DR. Henrike Berns (MD), who defended earlier this week with excellent results based on her paper investigating the function and consequences of Wnt11 mutations in humans and frogs 🐸 👏👏👏👏 we will miss you a lot!

The Actin regulator Mena promotes Wnt signalosome endocytosis and Wnt signalling Wnt signaling controls embryonic development and tissue maintenance. Endocytosis of Wnt-receptors is required for signalling, yet uptake mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we identify the acti...

Exciting new findings: Wnt-receptor endocytosis is required for canonical Wnt activation, yet uptake mechanisms has been controversial. We resolve this by showing that Wnt3a triggers rapid Clathrin- and Fast Endophilin-Mediated LRP6 endocytosis at low concentrations sufficient for Wnt activation.

Dale un abrazo a Feijoo!

The law of the jungle.
Interactions of cells in a collective lead to global rotation.
In 80% of the case HUVEC cells turn clockwise.
How many cells does it take for this to happen?

I see Alfred Jensen painting fitting here… solar Centripetal and Centrifugal force… congratulations Manuel!

Thank you very much Kristian 🙏🏼

Thank you 🙏🏼

and of course! Big and special thanks to @franzelab.bsky.social for their continued support and this nomination 🙏🏼🐸

Thanks for the highlight @poldresden.bsky.social

Gracias @jrmarmor.bsky.social

Also grateful to our funders for their support to our research @embo.org @erc.europa.eu @dfg.de 🙏🏼🙏🏼 and to the #xenopus #cellmigration #biomechanics #bioelectricity communities!

Extremely Honoured and grateful to receive this award from the @dgz.bsky.social grateful to my team, mentors and @poldresden.bsky.social Th is a great motivation to keep contributing to elucidate the mechanisms of tissue morphogenesis.

Congratulations!
