An expanded view of cell competition In this Review, @ameya2810 and @s__ellis survey cellular selection processes across diverse physiological contexts and suggest that a broader view of the cell competition concept would benefit understanding of cell–cell interactions in heterogeneous tissues. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

We welcome new research group leader Michael Weber, who will build up his group “Nanoscale Optical Bioimaging" @mpicbg! mpi-cbg.de/news-outreach/…

New research division to combine AI and biomedicine in Dresden: Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation, Max Planck Society, TU Dresden and the Free State of Saxony agree on joint financing of EUR 40 million. mpi-cbg.de/news-outreach/…

(1/3) 🚨 Fellowship application deadlines are coming up soon! 🚨 Apply until 31 December: 👉EMBL CPP fellowship: embl.org/about/info/sci… 👉EMBL Sabbatical Visitor fellowship: embl.org/about/info/sci… Don’t miss these opportunities to join EMBL’s scientific community!

We've finally made the move to the other good place BlueSky. Please find us over there at ISDB.bsky.social. We'll continue to operate here but will start putting more effort into running our BlueSky account to slowly make the transition with the scientific community!

Happy #FluorescenceFriday. Here is one super interesting video of quail skin explant showing an expansion of the vasculature within the growing feather buds over 2 days. I've never seen such a thing. You can read more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cdev…

Powerful proteomics techniques show how tiny pits in cell membranes, called caveolae, respond to mechanical stress at the back of moving cells. Membrane tension causes caveolae to adjust by breaking certain connections, helping the cell move. elifesciences.org/articles/85601…

Congratulations, Michael Dorrity! The EMBL Group Leader has received the FEBS Excellence Award, which will provide €100,000 to support his research on molecular and cellular sources of robustness in development. embl.org/news/awards-ho…

Meeting alert! Registration deadline 15th November! Join us next year @TheCrick in London for The Beddington Dev Bio symposium. A stellar lineup of speakers, additional talks to be selected from submitted abstracts. You don't want to miss this crick.ac.uk/whats-on/the-3…

Feng, Cai, Xu et al. @ZJU_China report that saturated fatty acids cause mitochondrial damage and ROS elevation in human endothelial cells. Activation of #lysosome biogenesis using TRPML1 agonists is sufficient to mitigate SFA-induced #mitochondria damage. hubs.la/Q02X6t1l0
