A key result: adherent cells maintain long-range membrane tension gradients even when they are not migrating! (micropatterned cells below)
In contrast, non-adherent migrating cells *do not* show these gradients.

Multiplexed imaging of G-proteins and ERK activity upon activation of CaSR
We have previously shown that the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) activates different G proteins and second messengers in single cells, and that GPCR and G protein-mediated ERK activity can be highly ...

The lab’s first pre-print! We investigated how growth-inducing Erk activity waves are regulated in regenerating zebrafish scales. We discovered that Erk waves are followed by waves of expression of their own inhibitors, as predicted by excitable waves theory. tinyurl.com/26r2cmpj

Extremely thankful to @caixaresearch.bsky.social for supporting our vision, and to all the amazing collaborators who enable our research. It takes a vilage and this is a road we walk together. Now onwards to make those scopes go pew pew only when needed
Light from high-res microscopes can damage cells and limit the study of viral infection cycles.

With a #HealthResearch grant, @henriqueslab.bsky.social (@itqbnova.bsky.social) uses AI to adjust light in real time and boost our understanding of infectious diseases.

After 3 broken trains, and 2h delay, I’m finally in Delft for the MicroNano conference. If you’re around, in the afternoon I’ll give a talk on “uncommon microfluidics” . Which, you know me, it is mostly 3D printing :)

For Python package management I use a mixture of pixi, uv and conda depending on the task I'm doing.

I wrote up a long form post about the history of these tools, why each one exists, and why I settled on these choices in my workflow.
