How do cells navigate up gradients of adhesive proteins? 🤔 Termed "Haptotaxis", this effect is ubiquitous in cell migration, but it's mechanism was poorly understood We show that passive friction directs cells & explains complex trajectories on gradients 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share that my PhD has finally taken the shape of a paper! ✨ Huge thanks to all authors, especially @davidbrueckner.bsky.social & @ehannezo.bsky.social for leading the modeling and @raimonsunyer.bsky.social & @xaviertrepat.bsky.social for their invaluable supervision. 🧵👇

Stoked to announce that I received a poster award! 🔥😍 Many thanks to the #25EngLife organizers for the amazing meeting!

Looking for #MaterialStiffness of #BasementMembrane across tissues? Excellent literature resource here😆👇 The basement membrane as a structured surface – role in vascular health and disease @claireleclech.bsky.social @jcellsci.bsky.social 2020 journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Might be an interesting review on that topic ! www.cell.com/trends/cell-...

1/7: New paper alert! Excited to share our co-first author paper on Micro Immune Response On-chip (MIRO) a model that recreates the tumour-stroma interface for immunotherapy testing! @oriolmb.bsky.social and I wrote this thread to break it down for you. 👇🧵 Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Let's look at some cool bilateral cellular flows videos IMHO: this is a goldmine for #EpithelialMechanics Movie from Asai et al 2024 shows beautiful counter rotating flows.

Is endothelium a type of epithelium? I am @icfortunato.bsky.social & I would like to discuss this with a short🧵 focused on cell-cell junctions, specifically adherens junctions.

Curvature-sensing BAR proteins control junction turnover to promote collective migration of endothelial cells in angiogenesis. rdcu.be/d6a04

Thrilled to share our new manuscript on how force transmission can regulate mechanical cell competition! Fun collaboration between the @bladoux.bsky.social / @rmmege.bsky.social and the Doostmohammadi group combining experiments and simulations. Main points below 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🎈New preprint! We study how single cells move up, down and about fibronectin gradients. Experiments by @icfortunato.bsky.social, theory by David Bruckner. Collaboration with @raimonsunyer.bsky.social and @ehannezo.bsky.social 👇https://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2024.12.02.626413v1
