Amazing work led by Mariana! Go read it if you’re interested in viscoelasticity of the ECM, the molecular clutch and Piezo1 #mechanobiology

Excited to share our new publication in Nature Physics about the mechanical memory of morphology in confined migrating cells by @kyohalie.bsky.social 🥳 Super fun collab with @davidbrueckner.bsky.social and @gcharras.bsky.social 👏🏻 Enjoy the reading www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do you use #PAAm #hydrogels in your #mechanobiology research? If so, check out our mini review where we discuss advances in cell mechanobiology made using these systems. We discuss protein micropatterning, mechanical patterning, stretching, DNA tension probes, viscoelasticity, and 3D systems!

Super interesting work from the lab in Mons! Have a read if you want to learn how sea stars dynamically control their locomotion! ⭐️

Interested in how cells respond when squeezed? Check the review paper just published by Laura Faure, @valeriaventurini.bsky.social and myself on this. Really thorough and clear revision by Laura and Valeria!

In their Review, Laura Faure, Valeria Venturini @valeriaventurini.bsky.social and Pere Roca-Cusachs discuss the biological contexts of cell mechanical compression, the associated mechanisms and the experimental systems engineered to compress cells in vitro. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

🚨 📈 Exciting news! 😰 Did you run out of time to submit an abstract?? Are you still waiting for your PI´s feedback on your abstract?? Guess what!? Yes! We´ve extended the abstract submission deadline for CellMech 2025, until March 16!! Hurry up!! 👉

www.linkedin.com/posts/manuel... Get in touch if interested in joining our team in Barcelona! @manuelsalmeron.bsky.social @ibecbarcelona.eu

⚠️⏳ There are less than 2 weeks left to submit your abstract!! Hurry up and submit here! 👇🏻 cellmech2025.org/abstracts/

Join us online on Tuesday, February 25, for this exciting DGZ workshop on #celladhesion and #mechanobiology 👇🏼

Very happy to share the final version of our work, out in #AdvancedScience!

🚨 We are thrilled to announce our amazing list of keynote speakers!! @PCusachs @GeorgHalder @hirashima0203.bsky.social @iberd.bsky.social @johannaivaska.bsky.social @gijsjekoenderink.bsky.social @laurentnguyen.com @renkawitzteam.bsky.social @Sixt_Lab ...

Really looking forward to visit the Salmeron’s lab at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia @ibecbarcelona.eu at Barcelona tomorrow ! Thanks to @manuelsalmeron.bsky.social and @giusciccone.bsky.social for their kind invitation !

Very exciting!

Great #mechanobiology meeting in London! Thanks everyone for sharing their impressive science, and thanks to the organisers for the opportunity to share some of our own work!

🎈New preprint! We study how single cells move up, down and about fibronectin gradients. Experiments by @icfortunato.bsky.social, theory by David Bruckner. Collaboration with @raimonsunyer.bsky.social and @ehannezo.bsky.social 👇https://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2024.12.02.626413v1

Pre-announcing the 10th Biennial European CellMech conference organized in Leuven 🇧🇪 from September 30th to October 3rd, 2025. cellmech2025.org Save the date !

Want to engage with the #mechanobiology community? Why not join this group? Just drop me a DM and I´ll add you. go.bsky.app/G5cQqYT

👋Hello #mechanobiology community! Next year we are organizing the CellMech conference in Leuven! We will soon be announcing (super amazing) invited speakers, registration deadlines, etc I'll try to keep the🦋community updated, but best is to subscribe to the mailing list 📧👇 cellmech2025.org

Starter Pack: Collective #CellMigration /Dynamics is growing. Looking at related emergent phenomena eg. #intercallation, dorsal closure or branching #morphogenesis? Reach out! Also modelers, soft-matter physicists & YOUNG scientists etc etc! go.bsky.app/DLUDYX3 #cellbio #SoftMatterPhysics #science

Couldn't find one so made a quick physics of life list, enjoy! go.bsky.app/EA2VsDN

Here's a starter pack that focuses on engineers/builders/makers/enablers of optical tools for (cell) biology. I'm pretty sure that the pack is incomplete - if you want to join the list, please reply with your favorite probe (that you made or used) and I'll add you 🤓 go.bsky.app/2YVvYER

Seeing lots of folks navigating over here in last few days (welcome!). Aggregating folks in the biomaterials & tissue eng. (+ adjacent) spaces that I see. Apologies if replicative. Let me know of others to add to this curated list (self-nom too!). Here's to a new community! 🧪 go.bsky.app/AeG8FWr

Some people here may be interested in this other Starter Pack too: go.bsky.app/CtQMJyW May you please include me in yours? Thanks

A forum for all things related to the cellular microenvironment and its role in health and disease. Spread the voice and drop a message if you want to join! go.bsky.app/jhvVHF
