Wound repair in plants guided by cell geometry
Mathew et al. show that growth conflicts reshape cells after injury, forming rhomboidal
geometries that trigger diagonal divisions. This reorients cell files to restore tapered
morphology. A two-step ...
Our new paper is out!
1/14 How does an organ rebuild its shape after injury?ย It's not just about making new cells, but aligning them in the right direction โ like bricks shaping a structure. We show that it's all driven by Cell Geometry!

โPublish or perishโ sounds dramaticโuntil you live it.
In science, the difference between a career and a dead-end can come down to reviewer #2โs mood.
Weโre selecting for resilience, not necessarily for brilliance.
Time to talk about what that costs.

Our paper, led by @argo-mkhrji.bsky.social and @woonyunghur.bsky.social, on cortical migration of nuclei in drosophila embryos came out today in @naturephysics.bsky.social. Argo wrote a comprehensive thread below. A great collaboration with Massimo Vergassola and @streichan.bsky.social.
