Stoked to present our latest, brilliantly led by Chris et al & Alejandro Torres-Sanchez. How tissues are patterned during development – we found that geometry-constrained ECM fractures pattern the myocardium in the vertebrate heart 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The heart is a remarkable organ, where form and function arise in parallel – in this case, the heart wall remodels to form a complex architecture, while the heart beats to support blood flow to the peripheral organs 2/n

Thrilled to see our latest work online @Dev_Cell! 🥳
How do cells build functional organs with precision?🫀🫁📏 Here, we show how coupling of cell shape and organ function tunes the form and contractile power of the developing #zebrafish heart 1/n

Out now! Our very first paper from the lab, an impressive feat by @tobyandrews
where we show how a developing heart grows and scales up its morphological complexity to keep beating...an excellent summary below ⬇️ cell.com/developmenta...

This was a fun exercise... reflecting on my accidental path into science, the questions that drive our lab @TheCrick and thoughts on building a more inclusive scientific community. Grateful for the opportunity
@focalplane_jcs and Subhajit .
New post from 2024 #FocalPlaneCorrespondent @SDutta_2904
Subhajit talks to @_Priya_R about her unconventional journey into science, her fascination with organ morphogenesis, and her dedication to fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.

importantly fractures/cracks/defects are not always destructive - biological materials can self-fracture to generate shapes, see Santos-Durán 2025; Dumortier 2019; Duque 2024; Prakash 2021, others ...‘Break To Build’ 🛠️ (stay tuned for more 😎) #BioPhysics #Mechanics 11/n
