@yashunsky.bsky.socialNew #preprint: "Discontinuous buckling from cytoplasmic mechanics in vertex models of epithelia" arxiv.org/abs/2610.03239 More buckling from the #PhD work of @chandraniva.bsky.social.
Show PostCheck out my latest thread for @epimechfc.bsky.social and dive into how a 70 yr old mathematical theory may explain pattern self-organisation in biology!
Show PostWhat determines how epithelial cells divide when shape cues disappear? Our new work in @natcomms.nature.com shows that divisions follow maximal stress anisotropy — a “principal-stress rule” beyond Hertwig’s long-axis rule. Fantastic work led by @luanger.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Show PostScientists pinpointed dantrolene’s RyR1 binding site and found that ATP or ADP is required for channel inhibition. The same region also senses ADP. Co-authored by BGU’s Ran Zalk with @columbiauniversity.bsky.social and New York University. 🟠 doi.org/10.1038/s414...
