Wonderful closing talk at the German March Meeting by Ulrich Schwarz. What a wonderful opportunity to remember how research on active cell mechanics began.
Pavel Tomancak asks everyone who uses FIJI in the crowd to stand ... and dammit, 90% of the crowd stood. What a testament to the power of such tools. #DROS25
Exciting talk by Vincenzo Vitelli at the March meeting in Regensburg. What is needed to learn the dynamics of a system irrespective of the experimental platform?
Physics of Parasitism SPP meeting in WΓΌrzburg. Isnβt this a fascinating beast?!
Just attended a fantastic talk by JiΕΓ Friml (IST Austria) on the plant hormone auxin, which acts similar to a morphogen and is a major regulator for growth in response to light, gravity, and chemical stimuli. Plants make up ~80% of all biomass and there are so many open questionsβ¦ fascinating.

#Neisseria gonorrhoeae evades immunity by altering its surface structures. @maierlab.bsky.social &co show that this process also modulates bacterial interactions, driving microcolony diversification, aggregation, colony morphology & #antibiotic tolerance π§ͺ @plosbiology.org plos.io/4aN1zdO
How do epithelial tissues develop their diverse, beautiful shapes?
Some researchers have been controlling their forces with light to understand it.
Iβm Guillermo MartΓnez Ara and today Iβll tell you about how we can use optogenetics to study morphogenesis!
Random remark to get the page started: I am teaching path integrals for stochastic processes tomorrow and found this helpful

Is there a book that rigorously treats stochastic dynamics and perturbation theory for stochastic path integrals?
