Have you ever wondered how your back formed? The human embryo makes a neural tube (future spinal cord) and somites (trunk muscle/bone) from ~d20. They’re formed at the same time and place, so we used human Trunk-like Structures (hTLS) to investigate their ‘co-development’… (1/7)

Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space ! Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns. #morphogenesis doi.org/10.1073/pnas... (1/n)

Great work by @omdrozdowski.bsky.social who found that the bubbly vertex model naturally leads to cell bulging and extrusion at topological (pentagonal) defects in curved epithelia. Read the preprint at arxiv.org/abs/2411.07141

It took me a lot of time to move here from the old space. Everything still feels very empty so far
