- [1/2] Preprint alert ‼️ When I joined @lendertgelens.bsky.social Lab, they experimentally observed atypical spiral waves in the frog egg cytoplasm, which resulted in almost twice faster cell cycle oscillations.Dec 24, 2024 17:07
- [2/2] Using dynamical modeling, we show that such a speed-up via spiral waves is a generic property of wave propagation in an excitable medium and depends on the reaction-diffusion parameters. Check out our preprint for more info and cool microscopy pictures 🔬🌀
- [3/2] Returning to the office, I realize this post doesn't look attractive without any visual content. I'm fixing it urgently so you can see a fantastic movie of cdk1 activity spirals displayed by the microtubule polymerization in the frog egg cytoplasm! For clarity, we show the wave's phase as well
