Can AI discover General Relativity? No, not yet. A provocative new paper argues that LLMs can master induction and deduction, but not the crucial abductive “jump” that allows us to invent entirely new principles. A fascinating question about the limits of AI openreview.net/challenge?re...

I’m thrilled to share that I will join @gustaveroussy.fr as a Group Leader! Our objective: to understand how mechanochemical feedbacks regulate tumor dynamics and plasticity, with the overarching goal of bridging tissue mechanobiology and tumor pathophysiology using human organoids.

Epithelial crowding drives membrane depolarisation by ENaC/Na+ entry which triggers rapid volume loss, piezo activation and live cell extrusion. Importantly, low intracellular ATP primes cells for live extrusion by preventing the restoring of mb polarisation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Crowded epithelial cells with the least energy and membrane potential are selected for extrusion.

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 preprint out! We show how cellular nematic order can be harnessed to program tissue-wide force fields and guide 3D shape transformations. The tissue morphogenesis logic, now engineered into living, programmable materials. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #ActiveMatter #TissueEngineering

Many cells during development are exposed to caspase activation and yet survive. Why some die and not others ? We found out that the memory of previous caspase activation bias significantly later death comitment and bias death distribution and single cell decision www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🥳 Thrilled to share our lab's first preprint, led by our talented postdoc Justine Creff! 👩🏻‍🔬 We tackled a fundamental question: how the epithelium withstands mechanical stress at the interface of cells with distinct geometries and mechanics, such as enterocytes (E) and goblet cells (G) (1/9)

How oncogenic clones can eliminate their neighbours to take over space ? There are different ways combining growth and interfacial tension induced compaction. Check out our latest preprint led by Léo Valon and Alexis Matamoro-Vidal to learn more about this 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
