now @buckleylab.bsky.social. We use live confocal imaging and optogenetics to investigate mechanics and cell polarity during epithelial organ morphogenesis

Happy to share our new paper about working part-time in academia. We hope it can help to get the conversation going about this important aspect of EDI and research culture. https://t.co/QU1dj32CHC @eLife @englishse @emiliapsantos @wildhappywell @foxtexel

in vivo optogenetic control of actomyosin contractility deep within the zebrafish brain

Now that we have polished it a bit, we are excited to share our new preprint with you "Local optogenetic NMYII activation within the zebrafish neural rod results in long range, asymmetric force propagation" https://t.co/sZR4vJnnDc

Together, the ability to precisely and reversibly manipulate actomyosin contractility at depth within a physiological in vivo vertebrate system has uncovered rapid, long-range and directional mechanical communication between cells

This helps to explain how precise morphogenetic patterns can occur across distance in response to relatively small local anisotropies in cellular contractility.
