🚨📢 How do mechanical forces shape a developing organ?
Our new @ScienceAdvances study, led by the amazing @CVagenaPantoula, reveals a Piezo1-driven hydraulic mechanism, where mechanical cues control cell volume to guide cardiac formation ❤️🐟 #DevBio

Check out our latest preprint on the cellular mechanical basis of Voronoi tessellations in epithelia! This biophysics study is inspired by disordered tessellations observed in zebrafish hearts🤓🐟🩵 @Sulaimaan_Lim #ChiuFanLeeLab

Out now! Our very first paper from the lab, an impressive feat by @tobyandrews
where we show how a developing heart grows and scales up its morphological complexity to keep beating...an excellent summary below ⬇️ cell.com/developmenta...

Thrilled to see our latest work online @Dev_Cell! 🥳
How do cells build functional organs with precision?🫀🫁📏 Here, we show how coupling of cell shape and organ function tunes the form and contractile power of the developing #zebrafish heart 1/n
