Our recent piece: Transcending the hegemony of the molecular machine through an organic renewal of biology and biomedicine. Here, Alan covers the State of Science in biology and biomedicine, why it has stagnated, and where it needs to go. alanrrodrigues.substack.com/p/transcending…

4/4 Focusing on the supracellular scale, we articulate how holistic biophysical thinking provides an expanded view of three key concepts in biology (epigenetics, mechanism, and regulation).

3/4 We discuss that, while underrepresented, holistic biophysical thinking is not new and was apparent in the approach of two notable 20th century theorists of morphology, D’Arcy Thompson and Pere Alberch.

1/4 In our new concept paper in @BiolTheory, we elaborate an investigative approach that prioritizes the art of careful observation, the biological whole, and physical thinking in order to develop novel biological theories of morphogenesis. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@MBLScience Embryology alumna Amy Shyer & Alan Rodriguez from @RockefellerUniv kick off the first afternoon session Amy puts forward a different way of thinking about morphogenesis not as a machine but as a consequence of reciprocal causality sciencedirect.com/science/articl… cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092… Alan, in turn, describes experimental approaches to test this model science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #spemannmangold2024 @UniFreiburg

#spemannmangold2024 @MorphoLab_AS_AR beyond single cells & genes, moving our thoughts towards #emergent properties of cells ensembles w/ good experimental system. In many ways, Spemann’s organizer is an example of a ‘whole’ working together. For details: shorturl.at/tnrX9

Congrats to @karl_palmquist for winning the Weintraub Graduate Student Award! We were very fortunate to work with Karl and are immensely grateful for the conceptual openness and intellectual bravery he exhibited throughout his time in the lab.

Weintraub Graduate Student Award@WeintraubAward

A huge congratulations to the recipients of the 2024 @FredHutch @WeintraubAward! These twelve exceptional graduate students exemplify the bold, creative, and pioneering spirit embodied by Dr. Hal Weintraub: fredhutch.org/en/news/releas…

Thank you @AMartinezArias and @Amro_Hussien for your interest and kind words!

Alfonso Martinez Arias@AMartinezArias

@Amro_Hussien @CellCellPress Thank you for bringing this up to my attention, It is a very good discussion, probably the best I know of, on the topic of #SelfOrganization in the Developmental Biology

4/Simultaneous causal influence between separate entities—aka reciprocal causality—empowers self-organizing systems to create form. From this outlook, we review recent studies where self-organization at the supracellular scale drives creative processes during organ morphogenesis.

3/For example: interacting components at a low length-scale give rise to complex patterns at a higher scale. At the same time, the self-organized order at the higher scale influences the low-level components, establishing a self-perpetuating system. New forms emerge.

In our new review, we confront how self-organizing systems blur the line between cause and effect through reciprocal causality! (1/4) sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #selforganization #causality #supracellular #morphogenesis

By focusing on the emergent features of cell collectives, instead of individual cells, scientists in the @MorphoLab_AS_AR forge a new path for understanding how organs develop their architecture. #RockefellerScience rockefeller.edu/news/35058-a-n…

10/We are very grateful to graduate students Sichen Yang and @Karl_Palmquist for leading this project. In addition, we had the good fortune of collaborating with applied mathematician Pearson Miller, who created the insightful quantitative biophysical models in this study.

9/This study suggests that the subtle tuning of hundreds of genes at the individual cell scale can coalesce into emergent and discrete material and mechanical properties that are ultimately responsible for the creation of organ morphologies.

When it comes to understanding morphogens, have we been missing the forest for the trees? By focusing on the emergent features of cell collectives, instead of individual cells, here we endeavor to make sense of how morphogens morph! (1/10) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
