Wow! #Optogenetics FTW!
Truly transformative suite of techniques. Our paper would have been impossible without optogenetics. Congratulations to the winners. We can't thank you enough :)

BREAKING NEWS
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”

Forgot to tag @verenakaul.bsky.social. Verena’s following up on this brand new discovery of out of plane division, linking cell biology, tissue mechanics to evolution with Steffen. Stay tuned!
Our heroes: Bipasha Dey in my lab, Verena Kaul and @girishkalephd.bsky.social in Steffen's lab. PI search committees: be on the look out for Bipasha and Girish. They do wonders. But not after Bipasha does some additional cool things with Pavel. Stay tuned! (6/9)

Divergent evolutionary strategies pre-empt tissue collision in gastrulation - Nature
Flies have evolved two distinct strategies for managing mechanical stresses during embryogenesis: out-of-plane cell division in midges and transient out-of-plane tissue folding in fruit flies.

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

Tissue 'tectonic' collision is detrimental, but flies found two distinct solutions! Gratifying and grateful to be included in this collective effort, w/ Steffen Lemke, to crack the (or 'a') code of #cephalicfurrow, now out in @nature.com, all with @paveltomancak.bsky.social at the helm. (1/9)
