How does nature generate complex shapes without a designer? Mobile small RNAs self-organise into a Turing pattern coordinating leaf polarity and shape diversity — from flat laminae to more exotic forms. One of the winning talks of the 2025 OpenVT Prize

I’ll be presenting my latest work on self-organizing gene regulatory networks and how they shape leaf morphogenesis in WG/GLIMPRINT Virtual Seminars on Multiscale Modeling.
Grateful to the IMOBio team for the kind invitation.

Another very sad piece of news: Joanne Chory, a leading figure in plant signaling, has passed away. She continued making remarkable contributions up until her last day. Joanne was one of the first people I collaborated with as a PhD student.

Our paper on local adaptation of seminal root number in maize 🌽 is now out in @NatureGenet. This story started 8 years ago as a postdoc project of Peng Yu (@Cfg_Peng). A 🧵 on some of our major findings 👇 1/13

How do we approach the complexity of life as a nonequilibrium system? Using physics and, in particular, landscape and flux theory, many systems, from cells to ecology and cancer, can be adequately represented and modelled. Check this paper in Reviews of Modern Physics @APSphysics
