#theGuardian embraces the #allOrganoids narrative. I&#39;m not the best person to comment, but I believe this conjunction of over-enthusiasm for #organoids and of anti #animalResearch is problematic. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/aug/12/organoids-human-organs-cambridge-shift-drug-testing-medicines-animals #healthResearch #biomedical #research #biology

RE: https://biologists.social/@Rxiv_mechanobio/117069212690349050 &quot;The arrival of #machineLearning approaches that predict cellular behavior at scale and integrate a wide array of #biologicalData types makes the analytical demand on #mechanisticModels even more pressing. Prediction is increasingly available without #mechanistic #understanding. The central challenge is no longer building models that reproduce #biological behavior, but building #models from which causal structure can be...

My #bibliography #bots @flypapers @Rxiv_mechanobio and @Rxiv_cytoskeleton have been off for a week, sorry. More annoyingly, they currently don&#39;t manage to post #bioRxiv content, because their #RSS feed appears to be down? Any info anyone? @biorxivpreprint @Co_Biologists https://connect.biorxiv.org/biorxiv_xml.php?subject=developmental_biology http://hwmaint.biorxiv.highwire.org/cgi/collection/rss?coll_alias=developmental_biology

&quot;#LiquidesIoniques : patience et longueur de temps résolvent plus de dix ans de controverse scientifique&quot; Mes collègues du Liphy ont observé deux régimes : des oscillations à courte distance (liées à l’organisation en couches d’ions) et une répulsion simple à plus grande distance. Ils et elles montrent que la portée des forces dépend fortement de la vitesse de mesure. Des déplacements trop rapides donnent l’illusion d’interactions anormalement longues. À l’équilibre, les résul...
