Getting physical: Material mechanics is an intrinsic cell cue dlvr.it/SqCFcr

How organelles respond to external forces? Do organelles play any role in mechanotransduction? We tried to answer these emerging questions in a new review we wrote together with Hesso Farhan Patrizia Romani doi.org/10.1016/j.tcb.…

We are opening an European Research Council (ERC) funded post-doctoral position in our lab to work on mechanosensitive gene editing. Joint project with the Translational Synthetic Biology lab of Marc Güell. More info and applications:

🟣 Assetjadors a l'aula: les universitats han investigat almenys 33 professors per assetjament sexual o abús de poder. Destaca que UVic, UOC i Abat Oliva no han fet cap investigació interna. “No significa que no tinguin casos; al contrari” Begoña Grigelmo ccma.cat/324/assetjador…

Very happy to be part of this interdisciplinary and international project! Happy 1st anniversary PLAST_CELL 🎂🥳

Fantastic discussion today! Sorry for not saying goodbye, the browser crashed… Write or contact me if you have additional questions - or if you want to join the lab in this new adventure (please rt)!

INVESTIGACIÓN | Dos años de acoso sexual de un catedrático de la UAB a su doctoranda: “¿No tienes ganas de ducharte conmigo?” eldiario.es/catalunya/anos… Por Pol Pareja

20 years of harrasment in the Neurophar Lab of the UPF are finally printed black on white and have the relevance they deserve. The article is strong so imagine what these women lived and are still living.
You are much stronger than you think and not alone anymore! 💪✊💜

We have 3 open PhD positions at the interface between physics-optics and biology-medicine. For info, see link or DM me.

🌯 BIOLOGY IS A BURRITO 🌯

Cells are crowded and very fast places. It's a miracle that anything works at all.

The central dogma is often depicted as DNA -> RNA -> proteins, but it's so much more: A biophysical marvel inside the smallest of vessels. 💓

Apparently UPF supports women in science events but does not do anything when there are cases of harassment towards multiple PhD students from their own supervisor. Is this the environment we are supposed to work in? This is disgusting and unacceptable

Happy to be part of such a team and be surrounded by these wonderful women and scientists everyday 🥰

Wondering what is the role of nuclear blebs in cancer cell migration and invasion? Check this summary of a very interesting story with the cutest cartoon ever!

Great opportunity, I can only recommend to apply!!

Nice work from NMSBlab! I contributed to their work by expressing their bioluminescent constructs in zebrafish embryos 🐟
