Congratulations to these amazing scientists🤩! Especially to our own Mariana Osswald. Well deserved!

📣🥳Check our new paper @Natcomms where we show that 🐟#zAvatars achieved 91% accuracy in predicting patient clinical outcome in 55 colorectal cancer patients!This work was spearheaded by super post-doc @BrunaCo34078120! ChampalimaudResearch ChampalimaudF rdcu.be/dKBYg👉🧵#cancer

Check out our latest work on how erroneously attached kinetochores persuade neighbouring centrosomes to correct the error. Wonderful collaboration with Barisic Lab and Maresca Lab biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

I'm so happy to launch with Julien Mozziconacci the first master and PhD course on "artificial cells" 🤩 #physics #chemistry #biology #philosophy ISAL Artificial Life Synthetic Cell initiative ESPCI Paris - PSL Chimie ParisTech | PSL IBENS Institut Curie INSTITUT PASTEUR Collège de France edu.bio.ens.psl.eu/spip.php?artic…

Imagine growing a miniature version of the human intestine in the lab to study gut biology in great detail and test medicines before clinical trials? We are happy to share our latest publication on bioengineered human mini-intestines: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S19… Let’s dive in!

1/6- Portugal’s main daily newspaper Público was kind enough to run an in-depth story on our 2 latest eLife - the journal papers on the ancient genetic basis of human spermatogenesis. Both are excellent examples of the type of research we are pursuing here at ISAMB - Instituto de Saúde Ambiental.

Hey Adhesion and Signaling scientists! A final call to register for the upcoming #GRC Signaling by #adhesion receptors!! Excellent science, forefront speakers, coaching sessions. Registration Deadline is this Sunday, June 23!!! #mechanobiology #ECM Maddy Parsons Alex Dunn

Postdoc position in my lab is now open: Join us to uncover how mechanics and biochemical signalling work together to shape epithelial organs, using optogenetics within zebrafish brains. jobs.ac.uk/job/DIH126/res…

Quality and meaningful science isn't cheap, so every little help is welcomed. As often is the case, it's the power of community that moves science along. So let's pitch in to support the healthy future we all seek. Support #i3S. Support Science. ➕💁 i3s.up.pt/support-science

>100 incredible 🪰 biologists in crete 🇬🇷, a true celebration of what the most creative scientists can uncover using the BEST model organism!

Missing our fly-jedi.org meetings? The #JEDI are back for great #Drosophila science! Follow us for more news and dates! #thereturnofthejedi

Save the date for the EMBO workshop on Cell polarity and membrane dynamics organized by Ed Munro and myself! 18-23 May 2025 in the beautiful San Feliu! Signup here to get more info as soon as the website is up! please RT coming-soon.embo.org/w25-32

📢We are recruiting! 3y postdoc position available in our interdisciplinary team Institut Curie #Paris. Join us if you're interested in live imaging, quantitative biology & (opto)genetics of Drosophila epithelia during morphogenesis. institut-curie.org/team/bellaiche Please RT!

Targeting proteins' intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) is a big deal. @UWProteinDesign developed a method to generate high-affinity binders for any disordered sequence in a protein. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🌱 does anyone who had successfully applied for an ERC StG has an OLD proposal to share? Even if in a completely different research field? Would be super helpful and I’d be super grateful ☺️🌸 #ERC #StartingGrant

Beyond thrilled to present our first (!) work The Crick! A tour de force by Toby Andrews et al combining imaging, solid morphometrics, theory, perturbations to show how a developing heart grows and scales up its morphological complexity to keep beating... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We have an open call for a postdoctoral fellowship in our group, to work on an exciting project on clonal hematopoiesis. Applications until 6th Sept. dozer.i3s.up.pt/fileupload/dow… Please advertise! DM me for details

ARHGAP12 suppresses F-actin assembly to control epithelial tight junction mechanics and paracellular leak pathway permeability biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_cellbio

To all tight junction enthusiasts: We have some news for you. In our new preprint we identified a molecule that promotes (yes, promotes!) the paracellular transport of small macromolecules across tight junctions without affecting ion transport.

Hot off the press: We found that cells can pattern their ECM to coordinate shape remodeling in epithelial morphogenesis. A bottom-up approach to morphogenesis! #PLOSBiology dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…
