The aim of our research group is to elucidate the mechanism that underlies the development of the Neural Crest, from induction to migration and differentiation.

- Reposted by Roberto Mayor LabCheck out our new work @natcomms.nature.com! @mayorlab.bsky.social discovered that cells perform durotaxis even without focal adhesions. How? Well, we found that they actually follow friction gradients — a new mode of directed cell migration that we call frictiotaxis! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Thrilled to give this talk in Santiago, Chile, as part of the EMBO Global Lecture Series! A wonderful chance to reconnect with old friends and forge new connections. Open to all—hope to see you there! 🌎🎙️ #ScienceCommunity #EMBOLectures
- Thank you, Marcos Simões-Costa (Harvard Stem Cell) and Joao Botelho (P Univ Catolica), for leading the chick module at the @EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile! From grafting beads to Light Sheet microscopy with @zeiss_micro, it was an inspiring journey of discovery!
- Big thanks to Universidad Mayor & Leo Valdivia from for bringing zebrafish onsite for the EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile! Students bred fish, injected embryos, made chimaeras w/ Corinne Houart (King's College London), and imaging w/ @LiSIUM_Chile. A hugely successful #zebrafish module
- Towing of lateral line axons in vivo in a transgenic zebrafish embryo. Great imaging at the EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile, using a Zeiss Light Sheet microscope. Huge thanks to Universidad Mayor, Microxchile, Leo Valdivia, & LiSIUM_Chile for allowing the use of the microscope at the course
- Spectacular finale of the Drosophila module at the EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile! Students shared insights, supported by stunning images they captured—guided by the amazing Nipam Patel, MBL-Woods Hole Director, and supported by Mathew Parent from MBL. #ScienceEducation

- Embryonic induction was discovered more than a hundred years ago, but his research has focused on the signals and molecules that control it. Now @matyasbl.bsky.social has found, using Xenopus gastruloids/animals caps that mechanics play a key role on mesoderm induction
- Happy to share that my PhD work got published in the special issue dedicated to the 100-year anniversary of the Spemann-Mangold Organiser: Tissue mechanics modulate morphogen signalling to induce the head organiser doi.org/10.1016/j.cd... With @mayorlab.bsky.social and Guillaume Charras 1/n
