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.

- In @jcb.org, Diaz & @mayorlab.bsky.social show that epithelial & mesenchymal cells navigate chemical cues via fundamentally different force-generating mechanisms, offering new insight into how diverse cell types achieve collective movement during development and disease. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

- John Gurdon was a true giant: - founder of cell reprogramming; - founder of molecular embryology; - unabashed advocate for basic research; - advisor to numerous successful trainees/PIs; - gentle human that touched so many. In dark times with science under attack, let his vision be a guiding light.
- Very saddened to hear of John Gurdon’s passing. I’ve been lucky enough to interact with him at multiple points through my career - from undergrad lectures, through his position as former Chair of @biologists.bsky.social’s Board of Directors, and as an author at @dev-journal.bsky.social.

- It is with great sadness that the University shares the news of the death of Professor Sir John Gurdon, founder of the @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social Read our tribute to the visionary Nobel Laureate and watch an interview from 2012, just after he won: bit.ly/4mM8o3r
- It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of our founder, colleague, mentor and friend, Professor Sir John Gurdon. His vision and dedication will continue to inspire generations of scientists. 🔗 www.gurdon.cam.ac.uk/nobel-laurea...
- Very sad news, John Gurdon has died. A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio. An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers www.magd.cam.ac.uk/news/profess...
- Very sad to learn of the death of Sir John Gurdon. He made a huge contribution to developmental biology & should be an inspiration to anyone whose potential is dismissed in school. It was a pleasure to work with him when he was Chair of the COB Board. www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/john-gurdon-...

- RIP John Gurdon
- “For Gurdon to continue in biology would be a complete waste of time both for him and for those who would have to teach him” He proved them wrong! RIP John Gurdon www.cell.com/current-biol...
- A Nobel-winning scientist of great modesty and humour, John Gurdon died on 7 Oct. Not only did he make a discovery that laid the foundations for stem cell research, he also created one of the best environments for research at the Wellcome/CRUK Gurdon Institute wellcome.org/news/sir-joh...
- John 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.

- Check 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...

- Embryonic induction of fate is a core concept in developmental biology. But, cells can also modify the physical state of surrounding tissues a process we call 'actuation'. I reviewed with @mayorlab.bsky.social 3 excellent papers that show how actuation and feedback can drive changes in the embryo.
