This week we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the I2BC — very proud of what we have accomplished together! www.i2bc.paris-saclay.fr

🎓 My team is seeking a PhD student in Biochemistry & Cell Biology at I2BC, Paris-Saclay! 🔬 Study cytoskeletal signaling in collective cell migration 🌍 Fully funded, 3 yrs | 📍 Gif-sur-Yvette, France 🗓️ Apply by Aug 22 via the following link: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Docto...

Postdoc position in my lab: investigating how the microtubule motor protein dynein-2 works in cilia. Here's dynein-2 at work translocating microtubules - how is this activity regulated? How does dynein-2 malfunction in disease? Find out more and apply: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Our latest publication on #macrophages congrats Anna Mularski and @manondepierre.bsky.social @institutcochin.bsky.social @actin-paris-saclay.bsky.social Martial Balland @grenoblealpes.bsky.social @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social cnrs physique @anr

✍️ The @bladoux.bsky.social / @rmmege.bsky.social Lab published a new article 📖 Nature materials 📃 Force transmission is a master regulator of mechanical cell competition 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share our new publication in @naturematerials.bsky.social on mechanical cell competition! Great collaboration between our CAM team, Chavrier's and Doostmohammadi's. Special congrats @luanger.bsky.social, @andreasschoenit.bsky.social, Siavash Monfared! 🎉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In Memoriam: Wolfenson, Giannone, and Schwartz recall the life and many contributions of Michael Sheetz, who passed away on January 30, 2025. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Our new #Mechanobiology collection examines the mechanical properties & interactions that shape the fundamental operations & structures of cells. Delve into diverse mechanical properties of membranes, organelles & other structures within & among cells 👉 https://buff.ly/3EK0uaq

Congratulations to all ! Very happy to have been part of this collaboration !

Unique opportunity to join the CytoMorpho Lab (in Paris ❤️) as a postdoc to work on the self-organization and polarization of reconstituted networks made of microtubules, motors and actin filaments in vitro. Experience required. Please Repost 🙏 thanks !

Don't miss the opportunity to come and work with us, as this is the last week to apply for our cell biology group leader position. Application deadline: Feb 28, 2025

Glad to share our last manuscript on a luminescent sensor we created to unveil novel potentially actionable regulators of β1 integrin activation in vascular endothelial cells and angiogenesis. @cp-cellreports.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Deeply saddened by the passing of Prof. Mike Sheetz, a true leader in Mechanobiology. His groundbreaking work on Kinesin, membrane organization, and mechanotransduction has left an indelible mark. A tremendous loss to science. #Mechanobiology #Science #LaskerAward

The Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC) is recruiting group leaders in cell biology. Don't miss the opportunity to start your team in the vibrant environment of Paris-Saclay University. Application deadline: Feb 28, 2025 www.i2bc.paris-saclay.fr @i2bcparissaclay.bsky.social

Our collaboration with the Germain Lab is now out in its final form!

📣 I’m looking for PhD students to work at the intersection of theoretical physics & biology -topics range from active cell mechanics to collective cell migration & tissue patterning! Feel free to reach out for more info (DM/email)! Please repost / share 🙂

OFFRE D'EMPLOI / JOB OFFER (IN FRENCH) Notre équipe peut accueillir un-e assistant-e ingénieur-e en biologie (déjà en poste au CNRS) dans le cadre du programme NOEMI de mobilité interne du CNRS. Pour candidater et obtenir plus d’informations : bit.ly/4gjpFhQ

Clathrin-coated pits, plaques, and adhesion... This post is dedicated to Christien Merrifield, who left us far too soon around this time in 2017. His memory continues to inspire 🔬 doi.org/10.1016/j.js...

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

Recently, I joined @actin-paris-saclay.bsky.social team as an Assoc. Prof. 🎉 There I will continue to explore the feedback between the physics of the cytoplasm and cytoskeleton dynamics using in cellulo and in vitro approaches. I am looking forward to interacting with you all here.

go.bsky.app/Kjf7vCa I made this starter pack for #I2BC members. If you are not on the list, sorry. Please contact me I will add you 😉 (corrected)

Happy to have contributed to Alexis Gautreau's lab article by John James and Stéphane Romero ! Congratulations to all co-authors ! Vinculin–Arp2/3 interaction inhibits branched actin assembly to control migration and proliferation. www.life-science-alliance.org/content/8/2/...

The Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC) is seeking to recruit new group leaders in cell biology. The application deadline is February 28, 2025 www.i2bc.paris-saclay.fr

More cell biologists! #cellbiology go.bsky.app/Utnjx1a

First attempt in a (loosely defined) Single-Molecule Biophysics starter pack. Please share and (self-) nominate. go.bsky.app/CteFZM5

Thought this would be a great opportunity to gather the #mechanobiology community. Please feel free to spread the word. go.bsky.app/G5cQqYT

Made a starter pack for microscopy and image analysis - please (self-)nominate additions! go.bsky.app/Nwa91pC

I started a list of people working broadly on cell adhesion and cell migration. I likely missed many, please drop me a message if you want to be added go.bsky.app/5Gzo7oZ

here's the starter pack for cytoskeleton go.bsky.app/TF83cpi

Very pleased to share the publication of our paper "Talin and vinculin combine their activities to trigger actin assembly" in Nature Commun. Congratulations Hong Wang for your great work ! Thanks to our team members, and the Grosse team. Article here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
