The Northern England Developmental Biology @_BSDB_ @Co_Biologists meeting takes place on July 10th in Sheffield. Register by May 31st - its gonna be cool 😎 (see the poster below for details)!

[David Strutt @struttlab]

@ScienceShef @JCellBiol Just to be clear – this was all Hannes and his team of collaborators. My contribution was miniscule!!

[Michel Cayouette @MichelCayouette]

Our latest work is out!! Short thread below.

[Katja Roeper @katjaroeper]

Postdoc position available in the Röper lab at the University of Cambridge! @PDN_Cambridge
Join us and discover the role that control of cytoskeletal dynamics, crosstalk and cell adhesion play in the formation of the nephron tube in human renal organoids!

@hannes_maib @ChrisToseland It's not ideal, but the statement goes on to say:
'This assumes on-going funding for the FLF which supports those looking to establish themselves as leaders in new fields or ways of working' so it's FLFs in place of SRFs (so fewer fellowships overall?)

[Yara Sanchez Corrales @DrYaraSanchez]

Beautiful work, showing radial cell behaviours in #morphogenesis, similarly to my previous work ⁦@MRC_LMB⁩ ⁦in @katjaroeper⁩ lab. “Radially patterned morphogenesis of murine hair follicle placodes ensures robust epithelial budding” https://t.co/2J3BzxhPjq

[David Strutt @struttlab]

Our latest on planar polarity mechanisms. Painstaking work by Alexandre Carayon, investigating mechanisms of cell-scale polarisation in the fly wing. Enjoy it (if this is your thing)!

Evidence for strong cell-scale signalling during planar polarisation in the Drosophila wing https://t.co/wJ3l0QmImj #biorxiv_devbio

@Ruby_Peters_ @sheffielduni Welcome also to the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) Cluster in Biosciences!

[Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol]

Matakatsu and Fehon @UChicagoBSD show that Dachsous and Fat function together to restrict growth by coordinately removing a “core complex” consisting of Dachs, Dlish, and Approximated from the junctional cortex. https://t.co/a88Sbc6pIV

New work by @theajacobs_ @Sfb1348 @uni_muenster shows how actomyosin contractility at #tricellular junctions is modulated to control epithelial permeability in #Drosophila. See our preprint @biorxivpreprint https://t.co/1OsrTeCpGH

[David Strutt @struttlab]

For my planar polarity follower(s?), we have a new paper out on Fat-Dachsous.

Fat-Dachsous are known to interact (signal?) in trans between cells, but we now find a second (more important!) trans-interaction suggesting new models for Fat-Ds clustering

[David Strutt @struttlab]

Can't argue with first read the Drosophila papers, but read the frog, fish and mouse ones too!

[A. Sánchez Alvarado @Planaria1]

John Wallingford @jbwallingford is next

“When in doubt, read drosophila papers” And that is how John arrived to the study of planar cell polarity (PCP)

John is sharing his & his team’s most recent work on PCP in Xenopus

https://t.co/s1OST3ySDG

https://t.co/KNt6rft4zt

He also shared his growing efforts to communicate science broadly

@MadS100tist @AMartinezArias @gastrulateordie @jbwallingford @Equipe_lenne @d_brueckner @MorphoLab_AS_AR One last thought, I like the definitions here, distinguishing between self-assembly and self-organisation, which are often conflated…. https://t.co/ZncALZ3WUc

[Matis Lab @MatisLab]

Check out our new preprint on the Activation of Planar Cell Polarity Signaling by Shear Forces to Coordinate Vascular Cell Dynamics done in collaboration with @GalicLab https://t.co/6K1ZXZ4hKs

How do butterflies grow intricate nanostructures on their wings? Our work, out today, extends our understanding of the role of actin. By @vickyjlloyd @sheffielduni https://t.co/9IU35R8mso

[Matis Lab @MatisLab]

Our latest work on the interplay between microtubule and actin forces during cell shape changes is now out in @NatureComms. Congratulations to @SameedhaThale and @Amrita_Singh_22!!!

Maib (@hannes_maib), @Fran_Bottanelli @petiaadarska @struttlab and colleagues present a toolkit for visualisation of phosphoinositides in fixed cells and tissue, enabling multiplex and super-resolution characterisation of these crucial signalling #lipid. https://t.co/HB6BM5z44o

[@luschnig.bsky.social @StefanLuschnig]

We´re hiring! 2-year #postdoc position opening in my lab @uni_muenster to work on membrane trafficking and epithelial tissue dynamics in #Drosophila.
