Saraswathibhatla lab is open for business!!

Have you ever thought about inflating tissues? Or maybe quickly deflating those inflated tissues? New #EpithelialMechanics pre-print: doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧵 with pressure control, multiscale buckling, controlled wrinkling

Thank you for highlighting our preprint, Sharvari!! @prelights.bsky.social

Preprint alert! Excited to share this manuscript from my PhD which aims to answer an age-old question. Does size matter? For fat cells, or adipocytes, the answer seems to be yes. We found that larger adipocytes promote aggressive behavior in breast cancer cells. 1/5 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

REPOSTING this here just to officially leave "the other place" Our work on the role of endogenous electric fields in guiding collective cell migration during #morphogenesis is out @naturematerials.bsky.social nature.com/articles/s41...

Understanding the physics of our foods can inform the design of future foods - plant-based or otherwise! Check out the article here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Someone awesome in my circle shared some terrific news with me today but was hesitant to do so because of all that is going on in the science world. It may appear insensitive that you are celebrating when other colleagues are struggling but I entreat you to celebrate & share good news. 1/

Despite the current uncertainty of being a scientist, I am excited to share our manuscript demonstrating an interesting mechanism of how swirling motion of breast cancer cells align collagen fibers radially at the tumor-stroma interface to enable their invasion (1/11) @thechaudhurilab.bsky.social

Our latest paper providing a biophysical mechanism of collagen fiber alignment that enables collective invasion in breast cancer!
