Nice one Benoit

.@AbbyKindberg, @Bush_lab @UCSF and colleagues find that EPH/EPHRIN signaling drives cellular organization by modulating cell contact strength by regulating actomyosin contractility at heterotypic contacts.

@CampasLab but would it be also possible to put oil droplets between cells ?

[AscidianBioCell @AscidianBioCell]

We will talk about your tool in our lab and will probably contact you... does the oil droplet need to be fluorescent ? (no problemo)

[Campàs Lab @CampasLab]

We are releasing STRESS, an automated software to measure mechanical stresses in 3D multicellular systems using oil droplets or (some) gel microbeads. The software was developed by awesome postdoc Ben Gross and great graduate student @ElijahRShelton. https://t.co/hPdt4EFWPm 🧵

[AscidianBioCell @AscidianBioCell]

@CampasLab yes, that is what we do usually. we would like to confirm forces felt by cells and assess whether there can be inhomogeneity in tension between cells or withun cells (as there is strong segregation of cytoplasm in our cells).

@CampasLab We've been injecting sigma oil or wesson vegetable oil but never tried other types of oil

Now Angelica MIGLIOLI from Villefranche sur Mer presents us at #JAP the larval development of Mytilus

I love the idea of shared talks between scientists from different disciplines who work together for #interdisciplinary research. I hope it will show that I hardly know or understand any physics 😩 but that we have learned to discuss through a common language to bridge disciplines

[J. Motoki @J_Motoki]

I wouldn't be mad at mask security 😂

Researchers at @Toliclab optogenetically controlled the important cell-division protein PRC1 reveals its role in chromosome alignment on the spindle by overlap length-dependent forces https://t.co/hO8WkjT3le

It has been a long week... happy #fluorescencefriday

[AscidianBioCell @AscidianBioCell]

@lionlchristiaen @RacioppiClaudia @StolfiAlberto yes !! not sure who is the original :-)

[AscidianBioCell @AscidianBioCell]

Phallusia magic : the pigmented cell leaving the neural epithelium to go into the brain cavity is called the otolith. the other pigmented cell (in green too) is the ocellus.
My question : is the otolith undrgoing "cell slithering" ??

@sha_gandhi @BronnerLab @Dev_journal what is your email adress ? mine is : [email protected] . it would be great to get hold of your plasmid
