How does the segmentation clock instruct cells to form a somite boundary? Read our new pre-print “Clock driven waves of Tbx6 expression prefigure somite boundaries”, by @Olivier_Venzin and colleagues, to find out. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Summary thread below: 1/15

2. The segmentation clock forms a densely connected network. We show here that, in addition to driving oscillations of dpErk activity (Simsek et al. 2023) and inhibiting the expression of ripply1/2 (Yabe et al. 2023), Hes/Her genes also drive oscillations of Tbx6. 14/15

Our collaborative work with @mssakar on a robotic microsurgery platform to investigate the mechanics of zebrafish embryo elongation.
News article on our microsurgery platform. Please contact us if you would like to operate on your samples using our robot or build your own system. @eceozelci @OatesLab @NatureComms actu.epfl.ch/news/a-robotic-… #epfl

Excited to build on the footsteps of hugely #interdisciplinary mentors @StephanGrill @mpicbg @oateslab @epflsv as I make the transition to @TIFRScience as a group leader in September. 1/n tifr.res.in/~dbs/faculty.htm… symmetrylab.squarespace.com

Is left-right #symmetry a default state in somites? Excited to share our latest #preprint that counters the textbook view @Sundar_Ram_07 @mpopov1c @AOates1 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The proposed adjustment mechanism does not depend on whether the somite interior is a fluid, or a yield stress material as long as the somite is in a uniformly flowing state
