Great talk by @mayor_lab about building the quantitative atlas of cell shapes and sizes, and how shape of the cells is consequentual to fate determination during zebrafish development. EMBO Global Lecture at the 6th Indian Zebrafish Investigators Meeting.

Gracias a El Mercurio por publicar la entrevista y a Margherita Cordano por tan excelente síntesis de nuestra conversación
Por primera vez, un científico chileno integrará la Royal Society de Londres: “La ciencia no es una actividad individual, sino colectiva", comentó el biólogo Roberto Mayor a “El Mercurio”.

Being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society is a great honour. My deepest thanks go to the hundreds of students and postdocs who have passed through my lab over the last 30+ years. They have been the soul of the lab, and this recognition belongs as much to them as it does to me

Jorge Diaz and @mayor_lab show that epithelial and mesenchymal cells navigate chemical cues via fundamentally different force-generating mechanisms, offering new insight into how diverse cell types achieve collective movement during development & disease. hubs.la/Q03_J7Ms0
