Encore bravo pour cette mobilisation. Le combat pour les libertés académiques continue.

It's good to see institutional support for #academicfreedom .
Let's hope the CNRS realizes that they should not promote policies that generate political leverage over research, such as their #keylabs proposal.

En écho au mouvement américain de protestation contre la politique de Donald Trump, un collectif de personnalités françaises appelle citoyens et scientifiques à rejoindre le mouvement « Stand up for Science », ainsi qu’à une journée de mobilisation nationale le 7 mars. www.lemonde.fr/sciences/art...

The threats against academia in the US have reached a tipping point.

If we don't want this to happen in other countries:
-Show solidarity at a global scale the 7th of march.
-Inform the public about what is happening there.
-Push for policies that protect academic freedom where you are.

Material-like robotic collectives with spatiotemporal control of strength and shape The vision of robotic materials—cohesive collectives of robotic units that can arrange into virtually any form with any physical properties—has long intrigued both science and fiction. Yet, this visio...

Really excited to present the results of a great collaboration between our group @poldresden.bsky.social and Elliot Hawkes at @ucsantabarbara.bsky.social, which were just published in @science.org. A mix of physics, biology and robotics! 🤖 😀

Le 7 mars, mobilisons-nous pour les sciences ! 🔬✊ En écho à Stand Up For Science (@standupforscience.bsky.social) et face aux menaces contre les institutions scientifiques, des actions auront lieu dans chaque ville universitaire de France. Infos & inscriptions 👉 standupforscience.fr

Organization of the apical extracellular matrix during tubular organ formation The apical extracellular matrix (aECM) plays a critical role in epithelial tube morphogenesis during organ formation, but its composition and organization remain poorly understood. Using the Drosophil...

First Bluesky post! Please check out the new preprint from the lab: Luke Woodward & Jeffrey Matthew's excellent work revealing the critical role of sulfation in organizing the ZP domain protein-containing apical ECM during organ formation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very happy that the second paper from my postdoc
in the Zerial lab @mpicbg.bsky.social is now published in
@dev-journal.bsky.social. Together with co-first author
@lenkabelicova.bsky.social we found that apical lumen morphology influences hepatoblast differentiation. doi.org/10.1242/dev....

📣Exciting meeting ahead!

A 3d render of a microscopy image. A long narrow yellow cylinder bends and extends through a cloudy magenta mesh over a white background. The yellow cylinder is a developing bile canaliculi and the magenta mesh is the ECM.

Here is my application; a developing liver canaliculi surrounded by ECM:

Many thanks to the tiff to Blender plugin for enabling biologists like me to get these kinds of renders.

Hello, Drosophila Community!
We’re excited to join Bluesky and connect with researchers! At the Drosophila Genomics Resource Center (DGRC), we provide reagents to power your discoveries.
Follow us for updates, tips, and discussions.
What’s your favorite #Drosophila research question? Let’s chat!

Mechanical coupling between dorsal and ventral surfaces shapes the Drosophila haltere The extracellular matrix is an essential determinant of animal form, enabling organization of cells and tissues into organs with complex 3D shapes. In contrast with the dorso-ventrally flat Drosophila...

Pretty nice preprint on ECM remodelling in Drosophila's haltere morphogenesis. The parallels/differences with wing morphogenesis are really interesting.

You can also add @ybellaichelab.bsky.social if it's fine for you.

I don't know if such magic exists, as far as I know it provides a DOI but it's different from the one of your final paper. There is a link to your final paper on top of the arxiv one after its publication but that's it.

As far as i know the only downside is to have the story out way ahead of time and splitting citations or get scooped for regular journals. It is a problem only if the paper is stuck a very long time in review hell.

Early mouse morula!
Almost two years ago, I imaged my very first mouse embryo and since then I haven’t gotten over the funny apical domains (cyan)😍 nostalgic :)
This beauty was part of the first immunostaining, I did when I joined the lab! #fluoroscentfriday

The de la Puente Lab is hiring a postdoc. Are you interested in the ECM and it's role in cancer chemoresistance? Do you want to join our talented team? Apply! Please share the word

Our latest discovery of “lowest recorded temperature for eukaryotic cell motility” going all the way down to -15deg C. Come for the crazy cold Arctic & stay for diatoms. Will write longer thread - but enjoy video below of diatoms gliding on frozen ice surfaces. Congrats @zqing.bsky.social & team.

purrfect !

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D

Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added!

Thanks for these kits maik, I would also fit in this one if there is still space.

Hi #BlueSci community! Just arrived and happy to be here! Quick hello to y’all! 👋

A whole bunch of new people is in the list now!

After finding @bilderlab.bsky.social I noticed that I should also look for [surname]-lab 😅

Still plenty of room, so please comment if you feel like you fit and you want to be added!
