Our latest out today @Nature!
We revisit a century-old theory and show that metabolic gradients work hand-in-hand with genetic&signalling instructions to shape the embryo. Glucose isn't just an energy source, it acts as a major conductor of the body plan🍬

It's a long journey, and the effort has made this true. We discovered a homeostatic feedback loop between E-cadherin and EGFR that regulates intercellular viscosity during collective cell migration. | PNAS https://t.co/QpwIR15vWN

I would like to thank my two supervisors, Prof. Virgile Viasnoff (@Viasnofflab) and Prof. Michael Sheetz, for their invaluable guidance. It has been a great collaboration with Florian Dilasser and the team from JF Rupprecht's lab (@JFRupprecht_OM).
Really happy to share this work. EGFR has a ‘magic’ to change cortical actin dynamics without affecting cortical tension. Our further work also follows this point.
Congratulations to @AArora88 and Chaoyu on this preprint! Read it to find out more about their study on the cooperative regulation of adherens junction elongation between doublets through EGFR activation! 🔬#ScienceTwitter
