Le et al. show that in Xenopus embryos, local ectodermal tissue flows provide a directional cue that polarizes and guides embryonic myeloid cells migration via cell-on-cell interactions.

High-resolution spatial transcriptome analysis of a human embryo at Carnegie stage 6 reveals three distinct developmental trajectories from the epiblast towards amnion, primitive streak and axial meso...

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 ...

Macrophages don’t just follow chemoattractants to locate sites of infection, they can also create and sculpt them as guidance cues but the mechanisms remain unclear. This study shows that macrophages ...

A one-day event showcasing the latest cutting-edge research on the modelling, biology and treatment of paediatric cancers in the context of their developmental origins.

In this Journal Club article, David Brückner discusses how seminal molecular genetic studies by Driever and Nüsslein-Volhard and Sick et al. demonstrated that both instructed (Wolpert model) and self-...

My reflections on ERC-Plus, Europe’s newest ultra-competitive research grant and what it tells us about the academic culture we’re…

Two postdoc positions (each for two years, funded by Amidex Foundation) are available in theoretical biophysics within the theory group at DyNaMo (Aix-Marseille University).

Cells often navigate through confined spaces. Now it is shown that cells retain a mechanical memory of previous confinement events, which makes them more efficient at migrating through narrow microenv...

Cell and tissue movement in development, cancer invasion, and immune response relies on chemical or mechanical guidance cues. In many systems, this...

Nature - Without clear protocols to catch errors, artificial intelligence’s growing role in science could do more harm than good.

University of Derby staff face mass job cuts as management plans to axe half of senior academics

The AHA has released a statement condemning "the dismantling of federal departments and agencies through the indiscriminate termination of federal employees and elimination of programs, including hist...

A Montreal doctor says her presentation at NYU was abruptly cancelled and believes the university did so out of fear of being pressured by the Donald Trump administration.

Suspensions affect accounts spreading information about the widespread demonstrations.

Ekrem Imamoglu was detained at his home, according to prosecutors, who said the charges against him were related to corruption and terrorism.

The authors present a computational framework that leverages mechanical force inference and spatial transcriptomics to enable analyses of the interplay between the transcriptomic and mechanical state.

Constructing synthetic prototissues is a challenge in bottom-up synthetic biology. Here, the authors introduce a “lipid foam” tissue mimetic and demonstrate network-wide tension fluctuations upon comp...
