The European Research Council (ERC) has announced the awarding of 421 Starting Grants to outstanding early-career researchers across Europe, as part of the Horizon Europe programme. To illustrate the ...

Wickström discovered how cells sense the physical world around them. Her research showed that cells can “feel” forces such as pressure and stretching and relay these signals all the way to their DNA. ...

Adult intestinal size plasticity is driven not only by epithelial stem cells but also by remodeling of the surrounding visceral musculature. Sex- and reproduction-dependent muscle remodeling controls ...

During gastrulation, embryonic epithelia undergo large-scale remodelling to internalise the mesoderm. Whether the cellular mechanisms underlying these tissue deformations are conserved across species ...

During regeneration, tissues must translate transient cellular variability into stable spatial organization. Tissue architecture generates a density-dependent window of heterogeneity in the mechanosen...

Thomas Boehm has been awarded his third ERC Advanced Grant to investigate the unique immune system of deep-sea anglerfish and their immune tolerance mechanisms.

Le chercheur raconte, dans un entretien au « Monde », l’histoire et les retombées de l’évo-dévo, ce concept au nom ésotérique qui rapproche les sciences de l’évolution de celles du développement. Et q...

We study how development measures time and how timing matters in development, evolution and ageing.

Why mammals cannot regenerate limbs like amphibians do presents a long-standing puzzle in biology. To uncover the underlying differences, we compared amputation responses of embryonic mouse (Mus musculus) and Xenopus laevis tadpole limbs. Lowering ...

Researchers show that mammals briefly activate regenerative programs after injury but shut them down too fast. Altering oxygen sensing keeps cells in a repair-ready state.

Why mammals cannot regenerate limbs like amphibians do presents a long-standing puzzle in biology. To uncover the underlying differences, we compared amputation responses of embryonic mouse (Mus musculus) and Xenopus laevis tadpole limbs. Lowering ...

The Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) and Boehringer Ingelheim are delighted to announce the recipient of the Boehringer Ingelheim FENS Research Award 2026: Gioele La Manno.

Nature Communications - The developmental hourglass has long been seen at the level of embryos. By zooming in to single cells, this Perspective shows that mid-embryonic conservation arises from...

Metabolic flexibility is key to survival and growth in all living organisms. In mammals, the pathways supporting cell proliferation in nutrient-limiti…
