This EMBO Workshop on Forces Across Scales will provide an integrative perspective on mechanobiology, a rapidly advancing field that examines how mechanical forces shape biological systems across mol…

When I was around 11 I heard for the first time about Fermat’s Last Theorem. I was immediately captivated by the problem statement, as well as by the accompanying story, and made a fairly ser…

Epithelial lumen formation is fundamental to organ development, yet how apical surfaces first emerge remains unclear. Ghosh, Martin, and Chen et al., show that lumen initiation is driven via bulk deli...

Summary: A guide to mechanics in development: unlock how forces, material properties and geometry shape the forms of life.

Dollie LaJoie is a new Research Group Leader at Human Technopole, in the Molecular Cell Biology Research Centre. Her research explores how mutations in proteins can alter cell behaviour and contribute...

European Research Council funds research project on physical foundation for sequence-guided genome organization with 2.5 million euros

Many active and driven systems exhibit non-reciprocal interactions, making them hard to describe with standard methods. Now a constrained Hamiltonian embedding with auxiliary variables reproduces thes...

Studying morphogen gradient-based tissue patterning in silico while accounting for biological variability remains challenging. Here, we present a MATLAB-based protocol for simulating steady-state morp...

Tissue phase transitions are key to morphogenesis. Now adhesion-driven rigidification is identified as key to epithelial organization but only if uncoupled from density-driven jamming.
