What if plate tectonics had something to do with development? We found a new framework for dynamic origami in tissue folding in a nerveless animal. Will share thread; but if you are at #cellbio2024, see @cbrannon.bsky.social poster B399 today. Not at ASCB; read www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

How can randomness be a source of living order? Can physics explain how an embryo emerges out of chaos? In this new paper in Science, Bernat Corominas-Murtra, @ehannezo.bsky.social & cols. show how embryos solve their own Rubik’s cube ist.ac.at/en/news/from...

Entropy is one of those formulas that many of us learn, swallow whole, and even use regularly without really understanding. (E.g., where does that “log” come from? Are there other possible formulas?) Yet there's an intuitive & almost inevitable way to arrive at this expression.

Super excited to announce my new lab at the University of Michigan opening Jan 2025! 🎉We’ll study how cells work together to shape the GI tract, with ties to regeneration & disease. Hiring at all levels—esp. a research tech to help launch the lab! Info: huyckelab.org #DevBio #CellBio #Hiring

What a nice perspective on the complexity of multicellular systems. Can a cell be defined by its interactions? We need to move beyond scRNAseq to categorize cell identity.
