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

Autorino et al. report a feedback loop between Nodal signalling and tissue phase transitions in zebrafish embryos. Nodal alters adhesion, triggering tissue rigidification and reduced porosity, which l...

Chaque année, l’attribution des médailles du CNRS distingue des scientifiques et des personnels dont les travaux et l’engagement contribuent de manièr

Data-Driven Biological Modeling CENTURI Scientific Meeting – 2026 The Event – CENTURI Scientific Meeting CENTURI is pleased to announce the 2026 Edition of its Scientific Meeting, once again bringing ...

For many of us who work in scientific publishing, the title of this Editorial is a question we hear all the time when we're out talking to academics. And it's a perfectly reasonable one. After all, re...

A comparative analysis of cnidarian larval morphogenesis combined with active surface theory identifies a set of mesoscale mechanical modules that predict species-specific shapes. Manipulating these m...

“Forme et croissance”, livre phare de D’Arcy Thompson paru en 1917, a marqué un tournant en biologie en expliquant la variété des formes du vivant par les lois physiques. Comment ce premier travail de...

The choanoflagellate Choanoeca flexa forms motile and contractile cell monolayers purely clonally, purely aggregatively or through a combination of both processes depending on environmental condi...

During morphogenesis patterned contractility drives tissue shape changes. Here they show that GPCR signaling and integrin activation give rise to a dynamically translocating gradient of contractility ...
