I am putting together a collection of video-protocols we (will) use in tissue mechanics research🌀 I hope to help consolidate established methods, but also showcase a few up-and-coming ones in our blooming field. Abstract submission by March 2026! Get in touch✨ #JoVETissueMech #ReproducibleTissueMech

Today I'm traveling to Portimao, Portugal to play with the German Men's Masters National team at the World Beach Ultimate Championships 2025. Wish me luck. wbuc.sport

Check out the preprint of my main work in the lab of @xaviertrepat.bsky.social @IBECBarcelona. Many thanks to all the people involved!

I'm proud to contributing to the development of the experimental system of this amazing study. I heard @onenimesa.bsky.social will do a whole thread soon. And maybe we have even more in the pipeline...

New preprint out! We show how cellular nematic order can be harnessed to program tissue-wide force fields and guide 3D shape transformations. The tissue morphogenesis logic, now engineered into living, programmable materials. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #ActiveMatter #TissueEngineering

What do we see when looking at cells under the microscope? 👉Some are bigger than others, some are elongated and align with the neighbors & others seem to move. Cool, right? But wouldn't it be cooler to quantify these observations? I'm @juliaeckert.bsky.social. Let's explore some analysis software!‬

Great stuff from our lab!

Hello world! I wrote something about intermediate filaments and epithelial mechanics back on twitter. But you can also find it here :)
