Our open access paper on cytoplasmic streaming is out! Using analytical methods we develop for flows in elongated geometries, we show that cytoplasmic flows are finely tuned to optimise nuclear spreading in the Drosophila embryo. Here's a thread. [1/12] doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2023.04…

Finally, we use this long-wavelength solution to fully analytically solve an advection equation in a reduced-order model which captures the essential physics of the full system. The nuclear density function displays most uniform spreading at an optimum value of chi. [12/12]

Excited to have presented our research on cytoplasmic flows in the Drosophila embryo at #APSDFD2023 in DC. Had fun with friends and colleagues, old and new, and with lots of great science! @APSMeetings
