Institut Jacques Monod leaves the X/Twitter platform

Uncategorized21 January 2025
Institut Jacques Monod leaves the X/Twitter platform Paris, January 20, 2025 For several years, the Institut Jacques Monod has used Twitter/X to share its scientific publications, communicate about its events and with the general public. However, after considering the evolution of the platform, we have decided, like many scientists, to suspend our communications on Twitter/X. We invite you…

Gazave Lab – A positive feedback loop between germ cells and gonads induces and maintains sexual reproduction in a cnidarian

Home publis15 January 2025
The Gazave Lab contributed to the publication of a new article in Science Advances: A positive feedback loop between germ cells and gonads induces and maintains sexual reproduction in a cnidarian   Abstract: The fertile gonad includes cells of two distinct developmental origins: the somatic mesoderm and the germ line. How somatic and germ cells interact to develop…

Ladoux/Mege Lab – Dynamic forces shape the survival fate of eliminated cells

Home publis15 January 2025
The Ladoux/Mege published a new article in Nature Physics: Dynamic forces shape the survival fate of eliminated cells   Abstract: Tissues eliminate unfit, unwanted or unnecessary cells through cell extrusion, and this can lead to the elimination of both apoptotic and live cells. However, the mechanical signatures that influence the fate of extruding cells remain unknown. Here we…

Dumont Lab – 4D Microscopy and Tracking of Chromosomes and the Spindle in C. elegans Early Embryos

Home publis3 December 2024
The Dumont Lab published a book chapter in Methods in Molecular Biology: 4D Microscopy and Tracking of Chromosomes and the Spindle in C. elegans Early Embryos Abstract: Maintaining genomic integrity throughout successive cell divisions is essential for the proper development and functioning of organisms. Chromosome alignment and segregation occur on a microtubule-based spindle originating from centrosomes. The molecular…

Minc Lab – Manipulation of Spindle Position Using Magnetic Tweezers in Sea Urchin Embryos

Home publis3 December 2024
The Minc Lab published a new book chapter in Methods in Molecular Biology: Manipulation of Spindle Position Using Magnetic Tweezers in Sea Urchin Embryos Abstract: The regulation of mitotic spindle position and orientation, and consequent division plane specification, is critical for early embryo development, tissue architecture and stem cells. Accordingly, defects in spindle positioning have been…
