Very happy to share the first article from my postdoc work in the Tomancak lab! https://t.co/0gmwblw1Wb. We studied the self-organization of actin in aggregates made from Hydra cells. Thread below (1/9)
We are building a new bioimage analysis platform at the University of Bern! To setup and develop the platform we are hiring for three years an IT specialist and a Bioimage Analyst. All the infos here: https://t.co/BZI1vY4Km6 and https://t.co/NEfK2P5rUd
Huge update to Convpaint, and preprint out on bioRxiv!
We develop a pixel classifier similar to Ilastik, but built for napari & with technical improvements. Now even works on animals! 1/10

The outcome of an exciting collaboration between Vincent Bertrand's team and our team. A short thread on our main results!
PatternJ: test our new tool to easily quantify periodic patterns inside and outside of #muscle#sarcomere even in #neuron - no computing knowledge needed. Easy installation in @FijiSc; developed by @PierreMangeol @IBDMmarseille@centuri_ls @univAMU_Europe https://t.co/X0yC3vEBgi
Please RT! Welcoming applicants with applied math/CS background for a PhD project with @ClaudioCollinet. Exploiting large language model of intracellular dynamics to decipher how thousands of flux events shape cells and organs. Apply until Feb 15th at https://t.co/In3litogQg
Please RT! Welcoming applications for a PhD project with @PhilippeRoudot in the framework of the @centuri_ls PhD program. The project will focus on collective endocytic dynamics and their role in cell and tissue morphogenesis. Apply until Feb 15th at https://t.co/sFVsrfV5qw
The BioVisionCenter is recruiting 🔥🔥🔥 We are hiring a Research Software Engineer, description below. Come work with us in Zurich and contribute to making bioimage analysis at scale accessible to all! If you have any questions reach out to me. https://t.co/oc1aPDmmKf
Our new data-driven mathematical model of sarcomere assembly is now out. All the math was done by our fantastic collaborators in Dresden @friedrich_group@PoLDresden@IBDMmarseille @ClaraMSidor @BDehapiot https://t.co/gaaP6lmqTp
🏋️How to build muscle? Our new paper proposes a mechanism for the self-assembly of sarcomeres, the microscopic contractile units of muscle cells, combining experiments by @SchnorrerL lab @univamu & theory by @friedrich_group@PoLDresden@TUdresden_de 🧵

Congratulations to the 2 collaborating heroes of this work, @ClaudioCollinet and @AnaisBailles who discovered originally this self-organized morphogenetic wave in Drosophila, and delved deeper to reveal the underlying mechanochemical underpinnings. 👋👋👋

It’s out!
Learn how a self-organized wave of adhesion, contractility and de-adhesion is mechanically regulated at the cellular scale.

Another paper submitted! Here we show how synergy and coincidence detection of cytoskeleton and membrane components drives actomyosin activity at the right place during tube morphogenesis. @GhislainGillard, well done! @CellBiol_MRCLMB https://t.co/VtPBwrjD6S
It's official! I will be joining the Living Systems Institute @LSI_Exeter in February 2024. Funded by a @wellcometrust Career Development Award, my team will investigate the biophysics of basement membranes during morphogenesis.
Stay tuned for open positions!

Our November cover shows a confocal image (z-compression) of a fertilized mouse oocyte stained for #chromatin (magenta), F-#actin (red), and activated #myosin II (green). From Bourdais, @BDehapiot & Halet (https://t.co/SbKivBdKvE)

Spotlight from @Taka2326I, @TakashiAkeraLab & @ProfMOlson: Bourdais et al. (https://t.co/pSsth20qE5) have discovered that MRCKβ activates cortial #myosin II rings to facilitate both spindle rotation in the egg and paternal nucleus migration in the zygote. https://t.co/4kTjRh4veL
How do cells self-organize to set up the body axes? Together with the team of Matthias Merkel @MatthiasMerkel1, we address this question here: https://t.co/uNLtr5153J
Now online at @eLife in final form: the opus magnus by @ArturRuppel93 and Dennis Wörthmüller on optogenetic activation and force propagation in cell doublets. Check out the online version with its many cool animations at https://t.co/0AacIHuHtg
