New paper @natcellbio.nature.com! We propose to understand embryo implantation as active wetting. Embryos from older mothers spread less because they are too contractile and viscous. Experiments by @katecavanaugh.bsky.social and theory by MJ Franco-Oñate in my group. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cavanaugh et al. show that embryos from aged mice have increased contractility and tissue viscosity on embryonic day 4.5, which leads to poor spreading and attachment. Similar age-associated mechanica...

It's not too late to share the clicks from the last “RNA-guided genome protection” @embo.org in Switzerland 🇨🇭 what a great time! A dream come true meeting the RNAi guys that I’ve cited in my works since 2016 🥹 #RNAsky #genomeevolution

Excited to share our new @narjournal.bsky.social paper! Using ReLo and AlphaFold, we described a network of interactions between Drosophila piRNA pathway factors suggesting new links how they coordinate to ensure transposon silencing and genome integrity. academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

ABP1/ABL3-TMK1 cell-surface auxin signaling targets PIN2-mediated auxin fluxes for root gravitropism

Talks were selected & the final program was built. It will appear on the website the next week. There are three weeks left till the registration deadline! This is probably the main RNA silencing meeting in 2025 - looking at silencing from the perspective of effector proteins. argonautes.img.cas.cz

Another day, another wonder; Archea parasite with a circular genome of only 238Kbp (!) found within a dinoflagellate. It only encodes for replicative machinery: can replicate but not sustain itself, making that line between life and non-life blurry! What a life www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
