Our review is out in Nature Reviews Cancer ! It's been fantastic to work on this with you Tom, great collaboration bringing together materials science, matrix biology and cancer research ☺️ nature.com/articles/s4156…

Member publication alert: Spatial regulation of substrate adhesion directs fibroblast morphotype and phenotype academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

Very happy to share our new article on SCAD-associated talin-1 mutants published in Human Molecular Genetics. Great teamwork with Latifeh, Yasumi, Vasyl, Ben Goult and Paula Turkki. The Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology (MET academic.oup.com/hmg/advance-ar…

New Paper. Very happy to have been involved with this study by Martin Schwartz's team Yale University published in Science Advances. It provides a direct demonstration that talin 1 stiffness sensing is important for tissue mechanical homeostasis Inst of Systems, Molecular & Integrative Biology science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Cool format:

UK public bodies spent £3.4bn on private consultants last year. I told The Guardian this "parasitic" relationship weakens state capacity to address key challenges like climate change and digitalisation. We need to invest in public sector capabilities. Read the piece here ➡️

Very nice review:

Very interesting:

Very interesting preprint 🤩(if you want to read even more on the context of mechanotransduction in stem cells, have a look at our very recent review written with Carmelo Ferrai 👉sciencedirect.com/science/articl…):

Inverse blebs in mouse blastocyst now peer-reviewed Nature Cell Biology with Markus Schliffka and Argo Mukherjee! nature.com/articles/s4155… Check out the excellent tweetorial from Markus Schliffka and celebrate with this latrunculin-treated embryo that is inverse blebbing like there is no tomorrow!

Achieving #HealthForAll requires concrete changes in economic policy. My latest article with Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on the cover of the The Lancet outlines next steps on how to align health, economic, and environmental priorities at national and international levels. Read it here ➡️

Please RT: Job alter! We're looking for a postdoc working at the interface of developmental neurobiology & mechanobiology.If you want to figure out how local tissue mechanics interacts with chemical signals to regulate brain folding, apply!

You will work in a great interdisciplinary team together with Borrell Lab Laurent Nguyen Roberto Toro (🐘 @[email protected]) in a great environment Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin FAU Erlangen-Nbg PDN Cambridge ! Any questions, please get in touch via email.

We have an open postdoc position in the NeuroCyto lab! Come explore new mechanisms of microtubule turnover and their physiological roles in collaboration with THERY Manuel, funded by ANR for up to 3 years. More info & contact: neurocytolab.org/postdoc/ Thanks for RTs🙏🏻

New paper alert! Just out in PNAS Nexus. Led by former PD Junghwacha we show that GBM cells "prime" 3D HA matrices for invasion through secretion of collagen VI academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…
