What if you got to work with some of your best friends on a science project? I can't publish how fun this was, but I can show you the data (🧵)! Last week, we posted our second neutrophil swarming paper to bioRxiv and I wanted to post my favorite videos here~ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How do cells adapt morphology to function? In a 🔥 preprint by @zjmaggiexu.bsky.social , with @dudinlab.bsky.social and @amyweeks.bsky.social , we identify a self-organizing single-cell morphology circuit that optimizes the feeding trap structure of the suctorian P. collini. 🧵 tinyurl.com/4k8nv926

In fun news, a video of mine won the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center's Imaging Competition! You can see a muscle cell (a myoblast) fusing into a moving myotube. These myotubes mature to become our muscle fibers. They are beautiful cells! 🤩 www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6xK...

Entropy is one of those formulas that many of us learn, swallow whole, and even use regularly without really understanding. (E.g., where does that “log” come from? Are there other possible formulas?) Yet there's an intuitive & almost inevitable way to arrive at this expression.

Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space ! Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns. #morphogenesis doi.org/10.1073/pnas... (1/n)

The cell contacts its chloroplast area by up to 40%! Where does all the material go? Smart design! Chlorophyll absorbs a lot - what is crucial is not its volume but is a high 2d-projected area for example a network. Fast contractions are driven via buckling of the network strands into the voids.

We have an inherent intuition for the progression of time. In entropy producing systems the arrow of time should appear clear and a reversed movie feels thereby wrong. Look at these macroscopic active spheres and try to figure out whether the movie has been reversed.(1/6) arxiv.org/abs/2409.16734

Polymerizing actin creates fireworks that are a sight to behold. This excitable medium produces polymerizing waves similar to those observed in other context. The parallels I tried to lay out in this perspective piece last year: tinyurl.com/53cbxm4v (LifeAct-GFP in Endothelial Cell)

Hi #SciSky :) So cool that many are moving here now! I study how chloroplasts in plants and algae move from a physics-y point of view: Here's recent work on a dinoflagellate. doi.org/10.1101/2024... I'm interested in dynamical systems, complex fluids, bioluminescence, stochastic processes etc. :)
