Congratulations @GuyBlanchard5 and @ElenaScarpa4 for having their work featured as Biomedical Picture of the day @BPoD_s ! To find out more about the video, have a look at this paper https://t.co/ZxGG6MblZ4

[Biomedical Picture of the Day BPoD @BPoD_s]

Quantitative analysis of 100s of #epithelialcell divisions reveals stresses & forces influencing #celldivision orientation in developing #drosophila embryo. Video & research by @GuyBlanchard5, @ElenaScarpa4 et al @SansonLab @PDN_Cambridge @Dev_journal. On https://t.co/qWqxpcDiZy

Our cell division orientation paper is out!

[Guy Blanchard @GuyBlanchard5]

Our paper on how mechanics and patterning combine at metaphase to orient planar epithelial divisions in vivo just out in Development, with @ElenaScarpa4, Leila Muresan, @SansonLab, @PDN_Cambridge. Thread digest follows… 1/5

Morphogenetic movements can generate forces that pull on adjacent tissues and change cell behaviours through mechanics and mechanotransduction, but does this always happen? We find that #Drosophila germband extension is remarkably robust to mesoderm invagination. #morphogenesis

[PLOS Biology @PLOSBiology]

Computational analysis of gastrulating #Drosophila embryos by @SansonLab shows that polarized cell intercalation is robust to the force generated by #mesoderm invagination, though this slows down the rate of A-P cell elongation @PDN_Cambridge #PLOSBiology https://t.co/cuDoDkgvKn

We have another summer student starting this week. Welcome Florrie Clark! We hope that both you and Bridget enjoy working with us and learn lots @PDN_Cambridge

[Sanson Lab @SansonLab]

We are lucky to welcome Bridget Ryan, a summer student, to the lab this week. And congratulations Bridget on your Gurdon/The Company of Biologists Summer Studentship! (https://t.co/LeDtALy9rV) @PDN_Cambridge @_BSDB_

Bénédicte and @TomSharrock's review on cell sorting and morphogenesis in early Drosophila embryos is now live! -> https://t.co/ZbAIXf3c96. The review covers mechanisms of cell sorting, accompanying cell behaviours, and also features a very beautiful in situ HCR by @ErikClark01

[Sanson Lab @SansonLab]

Bénédicte spoke to @amjeve from @the_Node this morning as part of the #BSDBGenSoc2020 e-meeting. A quick Q+A session highlighting the lab's current work.

[Sanson Lab @SansonLab]

The Sanson lab is offering 2 PhD projects, beginning in October 2020, under the new @WolfsonCollege & @PDN_Cambridge joint studentship. For more information -> https://t.co/UyQiZARxvd or contact us directly. Please share & RT.

[Development @Dev_journal]

Benedicte Sanson @SansonLab of @PDN_Cambridge @Cambridge_Uni won the Cheryll Tickle medal for outstanding mid-career female #devbio researchers.
We talked about her phage-to-fly transition and how collaboration & interdisciplinarity drive her science 3/3
