Really excited to present the results of a fantastic collaboration with Jesse Veenvliet @jesseveenvliet.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de @poldresden.bsky.social 🤩

We find a unique mechanism for body axis elongation in mammals, different from other vertebrate species

¿se sabe a partir de qué concentración empieza a ser perjudicial para la salud este gas?

Es por hacernos una idea. gracias! 🙂

Enhancer-promoter compatibility is mediated by the promoter-proximal region Gene promoters induce transcription in response to distal enhancers. How enhancers specifically activate their target promoter while bypassing other promoters remains unclear. Here, we find that the p...

What is a promoter? And how does it work?

We very happy to share our latest work trying to understand enhancer-promoter compatibility.
I am very excited about the results of @blanka-majchrzycka.bsky.social, which changed the way I think about promoters

>2,100 research projects funded by the NIH were terminated in 2025...In this comment, patients, care partners, and scientists share our perspective about what's at stake...and why advocacy is essential to our path forward @natureportfolio.nature.com @apha.org @aclu.org www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A computational pipeline for spatial mechano-transcriptomics - Nature Methods The authors present a computational framework that leverages mechanical force inference and spatial transcriptomics to enable analyses of the interplay between the transcriptomic and mechanical state.

Awesome talk by @halloulab.bsky.social at #EMBLSpatialBiology. May the force be with you in biophysical phenotypes of spatial transcriptomics; out now in @natmethods.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪

I see that lots of scientists are posting AI-generated summaries of their papers on LinkedIn.

I still like much more the thread versions in 🦋.

Maybe because they are typically not AI-generated and it feels much more natural and less disgusting 😅

I hope scientific 🦋 doesn't die out...

A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

The closing session is already underway. It's official, #cellmech2025 has come to an end 🥲.
See you in 2027!!

I found Georg's talk a masterpiece of science communication.

He did something very hard for scientists: to completely shave a talk from technical details and data, and deliver a distilled message.

All of that combined with a bit of humor, a drop of controversy, and the photo moment... amazing 🙈

I couldn't have imagined a better start for @cellmech2025.bsky.social 😍

And finishing the day with an email that starts like this makes it even better 😍🙈

#cellmech2025

super impressive talk by @sarawickstrom.bsky.social and nice ideas that emerged to look at short timescales and viscoelasticity of the nucleus😍

😍Ready to spend 4 fantastic days here, during @cellmech2025.bsky.social #cellmech2025 !!
#Leuven

Now published in @natcomms.nature.com! 🥳

We developed image analysis tools to capture the nematic orientation field of 3D tissue surfaces. Tested on epithelial aggregates, zebrafish hearts, myoblasts on spheres & micro-vessels, we combined soft matter physics with exp. biology.

and in a few weeks you are coming to a 600 year old one! 😜

Brain Surfaces of 70 primate species

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!

🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...

The universe is not obligated to make sense to you. But you are obligated to try.

Hi I’m @yamini-ravichan.bsky.social , a postdoc interested in the mechanical induction of topological defect-mediated morphogenesis. I use different organisms to study the role of topological defects shaping development & regeneration. Below is an insight to the field!

@ar-abdelfattah.bsky.social

qué gran combo!! 😍

super nice work Pau :)

I was finding the first part of the results cool, but then when I got to the 3D folding part I was like 🤯 Really impressive!

👏Congrats and good luck with the revisions!

🚨 Exciting News! As we count down to #CellMech2025, we’re highlighting our incredible keynote speakers! 🌟

🧬🔬 Dr. Pere Roca-Cusachs (@ibecbarcelona.eu) explores how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces! From transcription factor mechanosensitivity to ECM mechanics.

So great to have you in Leuven @gijsjekoenderink.bsky.social !!

Innovar consiste en solucionar problemas, no en crear nuevas necesidades.

You can still send your abstract!

#mechanobiology #conference #cellmechanics

🏯 😍 Our conference will take place at the KULeuven University Hall !!

But this beautiful building has gone through a lot... do you want to know about it?
