We are really happy to see @mehmetintheory, @zanealsberga and @jonna_alanko‘s work on self generated gradients in collective migration out! Another great collaboration with @EdouardHannezo ‘s lab.

We teamed up with @ISTAsustainable and Saki, visiting artist @ISTAustria, and collected used non-contaminated gloves. The result was a beautiful dress worth a red carpet event in the lab.

Last Friday our @ERC_Research synergy team #pushingcell got together @institut_curie in Paris. Great discussion with @BassereauTeam, @PierreSens group and Anna Akhamnova’s team!

👻Trick or treat?🎃
Here is a treat 🍬 In our new perspective article @mi_riedl dives into the self-organizing principles behind actin polymerization and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. Two seemingly different systems, one underlying principle.

@mi_riedl paper is officially out in @NatureComms! We show that actin wave synchronization unifies the speed in collectively moving cells. Our unconventional "toy" model emphasizes the importance of nearest-neighbor coupling in this process.
