Internal durotaxis and asymmetric shape of cell clusters
Ricard Alert


Groups of migrating cells are usually guided by external cues, such as gradients of chemoattractant (chemotaxis), substrate stiffness (durotaxis), or electrostatic potential (electrotaxis). Here, I will show that cell groups can also be guided by internal cues, i.e., by gradients of their own properties. We found that, when moving from soft to stiff substrate, clusters of neural crest cells exhibit an opposite gradient in their own tissue stiffness, with soft cells at the front and stiff cells at the back. We predict that this internal stiffness gradient is enough to guide collective cell migration - a phenomenon that we call internal durotaxis. Moreover, these cell clusters are taller at the back than at the front. We explain this asymmetric height profile by modeling the cell cluster as an active liquid droplet driven by the motile cells at its base. We speculate that the emergence of internal guidance cues could provide robustness to the migration of cell clusters in noisy environments. More details...

Exploring multicellular developmental programs at the root of animals and beyond
Omaya Dudin


Invite par l'equipe Dumont, Prof. Omaya Dudin (Dpt. Biochemistry, University of Geneva) presentera un seminaire de l'Institut Jacques Monod sur le theme : Exploring multicellular developmental programs at the root of animals and beyond Resume : All animals develop from a single-celled zygote and undergo complex morphogenetic processes to form multicellular organisms. These processes are regulated by intrinsic and extrinsic factors that drive key developmental events, such as symmetry breaking, cell division, and differentiation. Despite the remarkable conservation of these pathways across species, the evolutionary origins of these morphogenetic mechanisms remain unclear. A major challenge in addressing this question is the limited availability of microscopy and cell biological data from key protists that occupy pivotal phylogenetic positions in the eukaryotic tree, including those identified as the closest unicellular relatives of animals. In this talk, I will present how our lab is utilizing Expansion Microscopy to capture novel ultrastructural details of microbial life cycles. I will also share recent insights into Ichthyosporeans, a lineage of protists closely related to animals, which exhibit diverse multicellular development strategies. These include species that undergo coenocytic development followed by cellularization, as well as others that develop through cleavage divisions to form spatially organized multicellular colonies. Our findings highlight the importance of studying diverse unicellular taxa to trace the origins of animal multicellularity, positioning Ichthyosporeans as a promising model for exploring the evolutionary roots of animal embryogenesis.

Tissue swelling and local mechanosensing drive crypt convergence in intestinal development
Laura CAPOLUPO


During development, organs acquire their function by assembling repeating structural units into coherent architectures. While the formation of individual units from cellular processes is increasingly well characterized, how neighbouring units coordinate their growth to achieve reproducible tissue organization remains unclear. Here, we focus on the mouse intestine, where thousands of stem-cell-rich crypts form postnatally with initially highly variable morphologies. Combining in vivo developmental time courses, organoids, and biophysical modelling, we find that crypts rapidly converge morphologically in response to tissue-scale mechanical changes in the surrounding villi. We show that transient swelling of villus enterocytes relaxes epithelial tension and increases crypt cell density. This density increase activates a mechanosensitive pathway in stem cells, in which the cytosolic calcium-dependent phospholipase cPLA2 promotes apical myosin relocalization. This process synchronizes apical contractility across neighbouring crypts, driving their morphological convergence. Disruption of either pathway instead leads to winner-takes-all dynamics, where only the initially more mature crypts close, at the expense of the others. Together, these findings identify a general principle of morphogenesis in which a global mechanical context, coupled with local cellular mechanosensation, prevents competitive amplification of variability and coordinates individual units to ensure reproducible tissue architecture.

Data-Driven Inference of Cell Migration and Polarity Dynamics
Bram Hoogland


Invite par l'equipe Ladoux/Mege, Bram Hoogland (Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, Netherlands) presentera un seminaire de l'Institut Jacques Monod : Data-Driven Inference of Cell Migration and Polarity Dynamics Resume : Cell migration emerges from coupled processes including polarity, biochemical signaling, adhesion, and mechanical interactions. These processes govern how cells move, deform, and respond to one another, yet integrating them into a unified dynamical description remains a major challenge. Experiments typically capture only the resulting behaviors, such as cell shape and trajectories. Here, we present a data-driven framework to learn and disentangle underlying dynamics directly from observed cell behavior and apply it across scales from polarization dynamics of single cells to multicellular systems. In multicellular migration, our framework reveals distinct interaction rules across cell types. Non-cancerous epithelial cells exhibit reciprocal repulsion and velocity alignment, whereas cancerous mesenchymal cells additionally show nonreciprocal interactions that modulate self-propulsion. These nonreciprocal interactions shift the onset and speed of cellular flocks, linking microscopic interaction rules to collective behavior. Using experiments with a molecular polarity marker, (from the amazing Joseph), we uncover how cell motion, morphology, and polarity are coupled. We identify dynamical states associated with persistent migration in small cells but find that these states are absent in large cells, revealing a coupling between cell length and polarity-driven migration. Lastly, we have started making the first steps in learning a full 3D stochastic reaction diffusion model directly from experiments on budding yeast, capturing their symmetry breaking and finding active transport. Overall, our data-driven framework provides a principled route to learning interpretable dynamics from experiments, enabling comparison across cell types and linking cell-intrinsic dynamics and cell-cell interactions to emergent behavior.

Order in the Chaos: How Cells Navigate Broken Genomes
Anjana Badrinarayanan


Invited by: Manish Kushwaha Information essential for life is encoded within DNA, yet this molecule is constantly challenged by diverse sources of damage. Our research program asks how microbial cells regulate DNA damage repair in space and time, using high-resolution imaging to track replication, recombination and repair inside individual cells. In this talk, I will focus on double-strand break repair by homologous recombination, centred on homology search, in which a RecA nucleoprotein filament must locate a matching sequence within a crowded genome. Our work shows that homology search is not a passive, diffusive scan but an actively organised process unfolding in two steps. First the filament must encounter its candidates, a problem of movement. We find that the SMC-like protein RecN acts as a DNA motor, driving filaments in long-range, back-and-forth sweeps across the cell, with a conserved DNA helicase an essential partner in this motion. A chance encounter must then become a commitment, and here the genome’s own topology supplies the selectivity. RecA filaments overwhelmingly favour negatively supercoiled targets, so that supercoiling, not mere proximity, finally licenses a faithful pairing. Together these pieces describe a coordinated apparatus for moving genetic information faithfully within a cell. Indeed, the same recombination machinery can move information between cells as well, and the very processes that protect genetic information are also the ones that move and reshape it.

IMAGING ACROSS SCALES ? CATCHING CONCURRENT ORGANELLE DYNAMICS IN LIVING CELLS AND TISSUES


In animal development, timing matters. Phenomena operating within distinct levels-those of molecules, organelles, cells, or tissues, span the extremes of timescales and give rise to the clock work of development. Developmental programs are under genetic controf?however, the physical basis of these processes lie within the components that drive it - molecules, organelles, cells, supracellular assemblies. Capturing these mechanisms requires imaging approaches that can span different scales, molecular to tissue level processes demand both high spatial and temporal resolutions simultaneously. In the first part, I will introduce light-sheet microscopy and exemplify cell biological studies using endosomal timekeeping of biochemical reactions at single cell levels. However, these approaches are limited by the absence of physiological context as cells are investigated in isolation. In the second part, I will describe imaging approaches based on Airy beam-based light sheet microscopy of organelles in tens to hundreds of cells in a few hundred micrometre-wide tissue environments that will enable. This approach achieves a typical resolution of 320 nm over 266 × 266 × 100 ?m3 volumes at a temporal rate of 0.05 Hz that now allows tracking molecules and organelles in large living tissues. I will detail out how such imaging across scales allows discovering new phenomena in tissue morphogenesis using Drosophila as a model system, where we address how during germ band extension, the monolayer of cells from the central side wrap around the high curvature posterior pole onto the dorsal surface. We discover an interplay between curvature, waves of cell divisions within domains and tissue fluidization that work together to preserve segment boundaries. Finally, I will conclude by addressing data challenges, including visualization and analysis, and outlook on the future of biological problems that these approaches unravel. More details...

Biologie des Systemes du Cancer | 9e edition


L heterogeneite observee entre les tumeurs de differents patients, et meme entre les cellules cancereuses d'un meme patient, complique considerablement le developpement de traitements. La medecine « personnalisee » ou « de precision » vise a surmonter ce probleme en proposant un traitement adapte a chaque patient, en fonction de son profil genetique individuel et de la signature moleculaire de sa tumeur. Cet objectif ambitieux necessite une caracterisation moleculaire approfondie du cancer chez le patient, a l'aide de technologies a haut debit et de techniques d'imagerie avancees. Beaucoup de donnees multi-echelles sur le cancer deviennent disponibles, mais elles restent encore largement sous-exploitees pour elucider les mecanismes sous-jacents et ainsi guider la stratification des patients et le choix des traitements. L'analyse integrative multimodale des donnees omiques et cliniques offre un fort potentiel pour elucider les bases moleculaires des differents types de cancer.

Conference Jacques Monod - The mechanistic and evolutionary basis of programmed DNA elimination


The Conference Jacques Monod » The mechanistic and evolutionary basis of programmed DNA elimination» will take place fromMonday, September 21, 2026 toFriday, September 25, 2026 in Roscoff (Bretagne, France). Abstracts submission deadline :Tuesday, May 5, 2026 Deadline for payment of registration fees :July 2, 2026 Deadline for return of completed forms :July 2, 2026 Registration and abstract submission website Beyond mutations, the genetic content of an organism is generally constant across cells throughout development. Programmed DNA elimination (PDE) - a process in which specific cell lineages lose DNA segments or whole chromosomes - represents is a striking deviation to this principle. PDE is widespread in eukaryotes and plays roles in a variety of cellular processes, including gene silencing, germline differentiation, genome defence, and non-Mendelian inheritance. It manifests in diverse biological contexts, including the formation of germline-limited genomes, meiotic elimination of parental chromosomes, and sex determination via X-chromosome loss. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that PDE occurs across a wide range of phylogenetic groups, and involves diverse mechanisms. These findings underscore the overlooked plasticity of genome integrity, and reveal significant gaps in our understanding of why PDE has evolved repeatedly and is maintained across the Tree of Life. This conference is designed to present the latest research on the mechanisms and evolution of PDE - from the molecular pathways that control genome stability and chromosome segregation, to genomic conflictsand the long-term evolutionary consequences of PDE on population dynamics and species diversification.We also welcome researchers studying related phenomena, such as meiotic drive, B chromosomes, and those that work on the mechanisms and regulation of genome stability, chromosome segregation and germline development. The meeting will address the following key topics: Mechanisms and regulation of genome stability and instability Mechanisms of chromosome segregation and missegregation Genomic conflicts Evolutionary dynamics of programmed DNA elimination More details...

Ctrl+Epi+Edit, Engineering the Epigenome


Epigenome editing is a rapidly emerging field that has the potential to revolutionise genomic medicine by offering new ways to precisely program gene expression and treat a range of diseases. Precision control of the epigenome and gene activity is further unlocking key mechanistic insights into a wide variety of molecular and cellular processes. The potential of epigenome editing technologies for both research and therapeutic applications has thus led to widespread excitement over the last five years, in areas ranging from neurobiology, to high-throughput (epi)genomics to agriculture. As the technologies continue to emerge and the epigenome editing field begins to coalesce, we feel now is the time to bring interdisciplinary experts and leaders in the field together. This will enable, for the first time, epigenome editors and related disciplines to collectively discuss the technology, its applications and ethics, and the exciting scientific insights being generated. Such a symposium will help to accelerate progress in this field by facilitating collaborations between researchers and providing a platform for the dissemination of new discoveries and techniques. It will also help to raise broader awareness of this exciting emerging science and its potential to transform precision medicine.
