It’s a classic from the lab, forever thanks to @colomlab.bsky.social [contains quote post or other embedded content]08 Feb 2026 18:45 +0000at://did:plc:ewkcfbzebainft5k3ls3xzdg/app.bsky.feed.post/3meelpr5zmc24https://bsky.app/profile/rouxlab.bsky.social/post/3medotbdpms24thanks for showing this movie! The gradients of tension reorient while migrating cells change directions.
