I am thrilled to share my PhD work with @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social @embl.org: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... A fun collaboration with Bernat Corominas-Murtra, Adrián Aguirre-Tamaral, @bart-smeets.bsky.social , Jef Vanghel and Tom Belpaire! Read the story in the comments below ⤵️

Our paper is out in Nature Communications! We combine two-photon microscopy and active foam modeling to show how cell-scale mechanics control the viscoelasticity and fusion of tissue spheroids, linking single-cell behavior to tissue-level properties. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ActiveMatter

Consider submitting an abstract for CellMech 2025. The deadline for abstract submission has been extended. We have an amazing line-up of invited speakers and I am sure you will have a good time in Leuven!

Hi to you all here on Bluesky! I'm interesting to interact with you all on science and bio-engineering, and hopefully discover a vibrant mechanobiology community!
