I have a new paper out: Communication through autoattractants can enhance and limit collective migration of immune cells journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... We show how complex interactions emerge around a secreted attractant, and you can play with the model online: chemotaxis.org/autoattracta...

New preprint! Migrating cell clusters have an asymmetric shape, with higher contact angle at the rear and lower at the front. We explained it by treating the tissue as an active droplet driven by asymmetric tractions! arxiv.org/abs/2610.03536

CHAOTIC BUBBLEWHEEL says good morning, as it fights off your dark thoughts with its playfulness. It glides autonomously through distinct life stages for over an hour, as gas slowly escapes the environment, along the bifurcation diagram of the Lorenz system. (1/10) arxiv.org/abs/2608.17169

Hi folks, I'm excited to share a whale of a tale (sorry, bad pun), where we engineer snowflake yeast to express sperm whale myoglobin, and explore how oxygen-binding proteins may have helped overcome anatomical limitations to early multicellularity. 🧪 #MEvoSky journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
