@zwickergroup.bsky.socialMoments from @embo.org PhysCell2026 where @advait-thatte.bsky.social presented work on "Self emergent oscillations of active droplets induced by sedimentation driven fusion". Congrats to Kristina Ganzinger, Timo Betz, Chase Broedersz, Louise Jawerth & @mariannebauer.bsky.social for a great workshop!
Show PostNew 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
Show Post🚨New Preprint with @zwickergroup.bsky.social ! Phase-separated condensates 🫧 often encounter compositional gradients. We show that these gradients generically lead to surface-tension-driven propulsion even in the absence of surfactants. 📃 arxiv.org/abs/2609.24529
Show PostDuring our stay at @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social last year, we discussed where the condensate field stands and where it should go next. Those discussions became a Roadmap for Condensates in Cell Biology! Thanks to @zwickergroup.bsky.social for driving the effort! journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...
Show PostWhat should the future of condensate research look like? Great to see this new Roadmap for Condensates in Cell Biology, shaped by discussions at KITP and with contributions from our own @ivarhaugerud.bsky.social. Congrats to @zwickergroup.bsky.social and everyone involved! 🎉
