What if we stop asking only how cells build tissues and ask how tissues shape cells?
That’s what we’ll explore at Modelling Life from Tissues to Cells 🇨🇭

Visibility in Academia, like in the world, is not fixed; it is produced. This piece “What Cell Biology Reveals About Academia” is a reminder that everyone has the potential to be either seen or unseen.

Our latest from @TheCrick …
Sebastian Sorge led on this amazing new chemically defined (holidic) diet for fast larval growth & development in Drosophila. It’s called HoldFast, soon to be available to the community, in powdered form, from @VDRC_flies.

New paper out @Nature - why are males more vulnerable to severe infections (ex acute #COVID), while females suffer more from autoimmunity (SLE, MS etc and also #LongCovid)? sex chromosomes or hormones?
Here we studied adaptation of human immune systems to gender-affirming testosterone treatment in trans-men assigned female sex at birth: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
