Absolutely ecstatic to share that WE GOT THE COVER!!! 🥹🎉 Seeing this on NCB's cover feels surreal. So much time, science, and teamwork went into this project, and I couldn’t be more excited to see it celebrated like this. A very, very happy day for this really really old and grown embryo 🐭🧫💥

New paper @natcellbio.nature.com! We propose to understand embryo implantation as active wetting. Embryos from older mothers spread less because they are too contractile and viscous. Experiments by @katecavanaugh.bsky.social and theory by MJ Franco-Oñate in my group. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

☕Embryos from aged mice have increased contractility & tissue viscosity on E4.5, causing poor spreading and attachment. Similar age-associated mechanical changes in human embryos correlate with implantation potential. @katecavanaugh.bsky.social 👉https://rdcu.be/fCDVb www.nature.com/articles/s41...
