📢Exciting new work from the lab by @NMishra_bio et al, now out on @biorxivpreprint, reveals that the early embryo geometry spatiotemporally patterns zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in zebrafish.🐟 https://t.co/BfQxhxCAzw

Have we piqued your interest? Read on to learn more... 👇

📢‼️The next preprint for your reading list is already here😉Latest work by our PhD student @SuyashNaik6 on the cytoskeletal crosstalk required for efficient epithelial spreading that enables #epiboly movements in #zebrafish, is now on @biorxivpreprint 👇

[Silvia Caballero @slv_caballero]

My PhD work is finally out @NaturePhysics!! We looked at the interplay between the cortex and cytoplasmic components to explore the role of friction forces in cellular morphogenesis.
Many thanks to @HeisenbergCPLab, Raphaël Voituriez and Andrew Callan-Jones

How do embryos avoid inter-tissue mechanical conflicts? Check out our preprint on the cephalic furrow: https://t.co/tPHTtTlG22
An awesome collaboration between @yuchiunwang Lab @BDR_RIKEN, and the Lemke lab @COSHeidelberg lead by @bipashadey29, @girish_kale_phd, and myself. A 🧵

@diana__pinheiro @IMPvienna @viennabiocenter congrats Diana 🥳🥳

[Ste Tavano @SteTavano]

My postdoc work is out on @biorxivpreprint https://t.co/GCDXkj2zy2! I want to thank all the co-authors (present in the Twitter world @d_brueckner @SarenTasciyan @XinTong1996 @alex_schauer_ ) and all the friends and colleagues in @HeisenbergCPLab and @ISTAustria 🤩

[Heisenberg Lab @HeisenbergCPLab]

📢 We are looking for a temporary, part- time technician to join our research group! 🐟🧬 Come be a part of our team @ISTAustria, on the outskirts of Vienna 😊 All details below, please use the link to apply 👇 Please RT! https://t.co/qcURLeCixV

[David Brückner @d_brueckner]

How do distant DNA loci come into contact to activate genes?

Our paper combining live imaging 🔬& polymer physics 🧬 to answer this is out in @ScienceMagazine!

We show how chromosome packing & diffusion determine pairwise dynamics & transcription

🆕Exploring the world of oocyte maturation!🐟
Our latest work by @ShamipourShayan et al. shows a key role of yolk granule fusion and microtubule aster contraction in preparing the oocyte for fertilization!

Wenn Sie etwas über Ernährung und Sport, die Funktionsweise der Zelle und die Welt der RNA erfahren möchten, kommen Sie heute Abend zu den Vorträgen von @HofmannLaura_, @ISTAustria, @juliusbrennecke, @IMBA_Vienna, @s__ellis, @viennabiocenter, @SylviaGruber88, @VetmeduniVienna!

[Heisenberg Lab @HeisenbergCPLab]

Exciting news! Our latest publication by @karlahuljev et al. shows a hydraulic feedback loop that promotes embryonic axis formation in #zebrafish. Check our tweetorial for a sneak peek. @Dev_Cell: https://t.co/poXkfcen4Y

[Zebrafish Rock! @ZebrafishRock]

Our #SpotlightZebrafish this week is on Dr. Tushna Kapoor @TushnaKapoor, a postdoc w/ @HeisenbergCPlab @ISTAustria. She investigates mechanisms of surface layer spreading in zebrafish embryos and how actin networks in different tissues orchestrate embryo-scale morphogenesis (1/2)

[FriedaLeesch @FriedaLeesch]

Our paper on dormant egg ribosomes is out now! I couldn't be more grateful to work with @llorenzoorts,@PauliGroup @HaselbachLab and so many others. I learned so much and discovered my passion for #ribosomes https://t.co/8dITd4pmfz

Thank you for your enthusiasm and support!

[Laura Hofmann @HofmannLaura_]

@LiaYerushalmi @HeisenbergCPLab @EMBO congrats Lia!! Just saw that amazing news 🤩

[Diana Pinheiro @diana__pinheiro]

Super happy to see it out!! Nodal/TGFb morphogen gradient encodes both motility-driven unjamming and a code of heterotypic adhesion in gastrulation => collective and ordered mode of migration that reshapes embryos while preserving patterning! See 🧵 below https://t.co/mhPyC3Y8Lg

[Heisenberg Lab @HeisenbergCPLab]

We started the first day of #20yearsofheisenberg with a lot of catching up and great talks!
