Our attempt to give multinucleate cells the spotlight they deserve (seriously, they’re everywhere), led by the fearless @mrosjac.bsky.social and with @Markus Ganter doi.org/10.32942/X2M... We’d love your feedback while this goes through the peer review process! #MicroEvoSky #ProtistsonSky 🧪🌏

I just wrote an invited review on one of my favourite topics. This was a long and tiring process (as usual). I wrote the entire thing from scratch without any AI tool (not even editing or paraphrasing). Editor comes back to me with highlighted sections that were AI-generated. How should I reply?

Here's a few thoughts after the FASEB meeting on Mechanobiology of the nucleus #MBNSRC 1 - The community is healthy and growing in multiple directions 2 - New people are committed in moving the field forward 3 - Some directions are unexpected and have huge potential. Looking forward to new chapters

📢 Fully-funded 4-year MRC DiMeN PhD opportunity in our lab. 🔬 Exciting cancer cell biology collab with @maiblab.bsky.social & Liz Smythe @mcb-sheffield.bsky.social to use recombinant biosensors to image active KRAS in #pancreaticcancer 👇Apply by 4th Dec www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Get out your calendars! The motors are out of quarantine and we plan to assemble in person on 8th May 2026 at University of Warwick Campus for a fun day on motors and the filaments they walk along. Livestream is planned too. More details on registration, travel bursaries etc. will be revealed soon.

Getting ready for the 2nd day of the Mechanobiology of the nucleus meeting! #MNBSRC

Almost time for the best meeting of the year! Looking forward to interact with everyone! See you there

📣Announcing the 4th edition of the EMBL‑IBEC Conference on “Engineering Multicellular Systems”, taking place 11–13 March 2026 in Barcelona. Exploring organoids, mechanobiology, embryo models, organ-on-chip systems, multiomics and more. Abstracts open now! events.ibecbarcelona.eu/embl-ibec-co...

The Chancellors Studentship is an excellent opportunity to do your PhD in the UK. If you are interested in doing your PhD at the interface between physics, neurobiology and mechanobiology, please get in touch. warwick.ac.uk/services/dc/...

Can pressure gradients persist over long timescales in animal cells? We induced intracellular pressure gradients and examined the resulting flows in single cells. We reveal surprisingly long lasting pressure gradients. More here: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Are you interested on how regenerating tissues transit between stages? Am sharing here our work showing that during #Xenopus tail regeneration, tissue stiffening activates a Piezo1-Yap1 mechanosensitive cascade to allow wounded epithelia to transit into regenerative states!

I am advertising for a #postdoc for a 3 year BBSRC-funded project exploring the role of macrophages in salivary gland development. The successful candidate will be based at @edinuni-irr.bsky.social at @uni-of-edinburgh.bsky.social. Closing date: 9th Oct. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

New preprint from the lab! Please check it out. 🚨 Have you ever wondered how cells decide when it’s time to divide? So did we! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Please re-post: If you know (or are!) somebody who might fancy doing a PhD (Oct 2026 start) in my group @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social, working on chromatin evolution in prokaryotes (or other things we're interested in), please have a look at www.bioch.ox.ac.uk/supervisors-...

Join us for the first Mechanobiology of the Nucleus conference supported by @faseborg.bsky.social. Co-organized with @lammerdinglab.bsky.social, @katemiro.bsky.social and Verena Ruprecht, the amazing program is here: events.faseb.org/event/Mechan... Opportunities for talks! Abstracts by Aug. 31st.

Excited for our next special issue and looking forward to working with Abby Buchwalter (@abbybuch.bsky.social) and Megan King (@luskinglab.bsky.social)! Working on the cell biology of the nucleus? Send your papers our way! #notforprofit

Looking forward! Promises to be an amazing conference!

Just learned of the passing of Frank Stahl. Together with Mat Meselson, he figured out one of the most amazing processes in biology. How does DNA replicate? Check out the beautiful movie made by iBiology and celebrate their legacy! www.ibiology.org/genetics-and...

I suppose there are worst places to grade exams.

Welcome and congratulations to the 60 new members and 9 associate members who have been elected to the EMBO Membership! This honour celebrates #research excellence and outstanding achievements in the #LifeSciences. 🧪 Learn more here: www.embo.org/press-releas... #EMBOMembers2025

📣 Good news: 281 top researchers have just won ERC Advanced Grants! The new funding, worth nearly €721 million, is part of the 🇪🇺 EU’s #HorizonEurope programme. Find out more 👉 europa.eu/!JYKxkD #ERCAdG #FrontierResearch @ec.europa.eu

Nationwide blackout in Portugal at the moment. No electricity anywhere. I was in the middle of a lecture. That was a new experience for me

I´m honoured and thrilled to share that I have been promoted to tenured Associate Professor in Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Porto! My huge thanks and gratitude to all lab members, past and present.

I have a 1 year fellowship available (MSc level) for someone interested in studying how nuclear mechanics regulates the timing of mitotic entry. Plus it´s in the beautiful city of Porto! Please spread the word to anyone who might be interested. dozer.i3s.up.pt/applicationm...

🔔🧪 I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Michael Sheetz, a true pioneer in #mechanobiology. I'll always cherish our lovely times in NYC, Singapore, Zurich, and Sydney. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends in this difficult time. So long, Mike 🥺😔

Nice excuse to visit Porto

Excited to share that IBDM (Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille) is expanding its research groups this year! A great place for developmental biology and interdisciplinary research located on the beautiful Marseille-Luminy campus! Deadline for applications: March 30th, 2025

Congrats! Always stunning work

To all of you applying for #ERC #CoG grants this round, good luck! Now time to relax a bit...

Wow! Congrats! Beautiful work

🚨 Last minute call we have an open call for post-docs expiring soon dm me if you’re interested! Several projects on the table around mitochondrial mechanotransduction and its functional roles in vivo!!

We´ve been waiting for this! Extremelly relevant. Thanks for sharing.

Huge congrats to all #ERC #CoG winners that were recently annouced! Many exciting science to come, I´m sure. Unfortunately, I couldn´t convince the reviewers during the interview stage. But I´ll definitely go agan next year! 👍

I didn't find a specific mechanotransduction starter pack, so I open one myself😊. There are still a lot of people to be added, but it's late, so please drop me a message or post here to nominate yourself for the Mechanotransduction community. go.bsky.app/2PXf5SC

Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space ! Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns. #morphogenesis doi.org/10.1073/pnas... (1/n)

This movie highlights two of the main interests in our lab. The #nucleus and #mitosis. (human RPE-1 cell with H2B-GFP/tubulin-RFP/LaminB-halotag)

The Mechanotransduction community is alive and kicking, and continues to grow. If you want to join, drop me a message or post in response. Is anyone else going to the Mechanobiology meeting in London 4-5th of December?

Dear blue-friends, I have just learnt that, due to a cold and brutal administrative decision completely beyond my control, we have to terminate the contract of one of my PhD students, who was recently recruited for a project in cellular mechanobiology 😲. Thread ! 👇
