Folding oneself into shape: a buckling of epithelial tissue. Morphogenesis is the genetically-controlled process through which organisms acquire a shape. Here we show that in the Drosophila embryo, the formation of the v...

This study is part of the ANR CellDance project which explores a new approach combining nanophotonics and microfluidics to measure the mechanical response of individual cells for diagnostic purposes. Indeed, the deformab...

Complex network analysis is a fascinating research topic with incredibly diverse applications: social networks, transportation, logistics, telecommunication and computing infrastructures, etc. It is also a cornerstone of...

Counting and characterizing molecules in their biological environment, whether in cells, extracellular matrix or biomimetic systems, is an important challenge for our fundamental understanding of life but also for clinic...

The dynamics of the chromosomal DNA of bacteria is arguably simpler than that of eukaryotic cells. Indeed, it is not separated from the rest of the cytoplasm by the nuclear envelope, and its compaction requires fewer lev...
