Not too much, not too little: the delicate mechanisms that shape the embryo
How does an embryo develop properly? A study reveals that its development depends on a subtle balance of mechanical forces. This research, published by Matteo Rauzi’s team at the Valrose Institute of Biology (Université Côte d’Azur, CNRS, Inserm), in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Physics Laboratory (Université Grenoble Alpes, CNRS), highlights the key role of tensions within embryonic tissues.

Glioblastoma: A Novel Human Brain Model to Unravel Tumor Invasion
An innovative laboratory model of the human brain has been developed to better understand glioblastoma invasion. Published in the journal *Cell Death & Disease* in August 2026, this research—led by Michele Bertacchi’s team at the Valrose Biology Institute—reveals the key role of certain proteins in guiding tumor cells within the brain.
