Our latest preprint!
How only a few cells around an apoptotic cell divide to sustain the cell number in a tissue?
We consider the mechanical force associated with cell death to tackle this old question. 👇shows the substrate deformation upon apoptosis.

Hot off the press @nature! Very excited to share my PhD work and first major publication. We found a surprising new role for keratins as asymmetrically inherited fate determinants in the early mouse embryo: https://t.co/z0BZ52AQ54

BNIP-2 scaffolds Rho and GEFs cell migration a brake. My PhD work with Prof. Low in @MBIsg is now out in @ScienceAdvances https://t.co/JVBQYXTfrI

[Shaobo Zhang @ShaoboZhang6]

Second part of my PhD work has officially come out! We have found how different mechanical factors in the cells cooperate to perform a 'proofreading' process for correct cell-cell bindings. Thanks for the tremendous support from my PI @TimESaunders

This is to support a former post-doc of my lab and his family who are going through extremely difficult time. Please help them, and also retweet this: https://t.co/BtBD5QKRpT

[Daniel J. Cohen (CohenLab at Princeton) @DJCohenEtAl]

First lab paper is out! We're herding cells with programmable electric fields using a device called SCHEEPDOG! We significantly updated the original biorXiv with some exciting new analyses. Special shoutouts to @tomzajdel and @GawoonS! https://t.co/2fgso9vgcL

Axon guidance finally sees the light! Illuminating study from @ArlottaLab where a photoactivatable Rac1 is used to guide motor axons in zebrafish. Optogenetic stimulation overcomes guidance cues and rescues pathfinding defects. https://t.co/3Wk67TuDwf

[TLecuitLab @LecuitLab]

Our newly published paper by @BDehapiot et al is now out in @NatureCellBio. The Formin Frl/Fmnl regulates cell deformability during epithelial morphogenesis. A persistent actin network tunes the range of deformations induced by pulsatile contractions.

Meteora sporadica is a free living nanoprotist found in the depths of the #Mediterranean sea. It possesses two axial cell appendages and two characteristic lateral arms which perform almost continual rowing movements. 🚣GIF credit: @Luisjagago / @DEEMteam_Orsay. #MidweekMicrobe
