When observing the morphogenesis of Bacillus subtilis floating biofilms, we detect some kinds of bacteria self-assemblies at the liquid-air interface that further undergo a bioconvection process. Thus, the presence...

Recognition of pathogens relies on the diversity of immune receptor proteins. Recent experiments that sequence the entire immune cell repertoires provide a new opportunity for quantitative insight into naturally...

We are using a simple model, the nematode C. elegans, to analyze how mechanical forces influence specific cellular processes and conversely on how tissues withstand forces during morphogenesis. The C. elegans embryos...

Flagellated bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, swim by a succession of more or less straight runs and short reorientations, the tumbles. The bacteria probe their environment while swimming through the chemotaxis...

As part of their physiological functions, most cells need to adapt to their mechanical environment. In particular, the rigidity of the extracellular matrix was shown to control cell traction forces, shape, and...

Bacterial communities engage in social activities, exhibiting behaviors such as communicating with small signaling molecules (quorum sensing [QS]) and building antibiotic-resistant biofilms. Most of our understanding...

Bilaterians are complex organisms, characterized by the existence of a mesoderm tissue from which most of animal complex organs develop. Mesoderm emerged 570 millions years ago from cnidarians that are characterized...

We use emulsions as a model system for a wide range of applications: from the study of biomimetic tissues to the production of patchy particles for self assembly, or the exploration of granular matter physics. In...
