- Reposted by Juan Manuel Gomez ElliffToday our #cephalic #furrow #evolution story hits the shelves in the glossy journal form. How appropriate that it’s architects met in Paris. Missing @bruvellu.bsky.social but joined by #CF enthusiast Mateo Rauzi & @heisenbergcplab.bsky.social @yuchiunwang.bsky.social Steffen Lemke #mechanicsfirst

- John Gurdon will be deeply missed: a sharp mind, a warm and witty sense of humour, and a visionary who shaped our understanding of developmental biology. I admired his intelligence, envied his prominent hair🙂. Left photo, in archives of Nobel, taken by John Overton, photographer and our lab manager.
- Reposted by Juan Manuel Gomez ElliffJohn Gurdon, former Group Leader and Head of @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social has died. Despite calling himself a "total non-intellectual” his work to reprogramme somatic cells to pluripotent stem cells transformed the field of developmental biology.

- Reposted by Juan Manuel Gomez ElliffDr. John Gurdon, a British biologist and Nobel laureate who in the early 1960s introduced a paradigm-shifting method of cell manipulation that led to the world’s first cloning of a large mammal, a sheep named Dolly, died on Tuesday at 92.
- Reposted by Juan Manuel Gomez ElliffAre you interested on how regenerating tissues transit between stages? Am sharing here our work showing that during #Xenopus tail regeneration, tissue stiffening activates a Piezo1-Yap1 mechanosensitive cascade to allow wounded epithelia to transit into regenerative states!

- Great work from two great scientists that happen to be my friends too, so I am double happy, for Developmental Biology and for them and their groups! Congratulations!!!!!! 🎉🎉Yu Chiun Wang and Steffen Lemke!!!!! @yuchiunwang.bsky.social
- Tissue 'tectonic' collision is detrimental, but flies found two distinct solutions! Gratifying and grateful to be included in this collective effort, w/ Steffen Lemke, to crack the (or 'a') code of #cephalicfurrow, now out in @nature.com, all with @paveltomancak.bsky.social at the helm. (1/9)
- Great work, congratulations to all co-authors of this beautiful work! @paveltomancak.bsky.social #Mechano-evo-devo #Morphogenesis #Mechanobiology
- We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

- 🥁 New article 📢: #Mechanobiology of #development during #Drosophila #gastrulation using #Brillouin microscopy, now in @natcomms.nature.com : rdcu.be/ev6ZX Collab. w/ @Prevedel_Lab @embl.org , Maria Leptin @marialep.bsky.social, @abhisha-thayambath.bsky.social, Julio Belmonte @ncstate.bsky.social
- What did we find? In our interdisciplinary study, we used Brillouin microscopy to solve a morphogenesis mystery 🕵️🔎: How is the 3D morphology of organisms acquired 🌻🐚🐯? Here, we mapped and investigated the role of the dynamics of cell/tissue mechanical properties (or stiffness) during morphogenesis.

- Reposted by Juan Manuel Gomez ElliffOur field has lost an amazing scientist, mentor, and old friend. Benny, along with Mike Hoffman, had a brilliant idea in the early 1980s. The first oncogenes were being cloned and they realized if we wanted to understand their roles in cancer, we needed to understand their normal function 1/n 🧪
- Calling up for recommendations for meetings in 2025 at crossroads, or partially covering: development, mechanobiology, morphogenesis. Thanks!!!

- Reposted by Juan Manuel Gomez ElliffThere’s been exciting work recently linking ideas from topology to biological systems. This has ranged from bird flocking (www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....), to gene networks (www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....), and now how nuclei pack in the Drosophila blastocyst (www.nature.com/articles/s41...).
