Excited to share our new paper in Nature Communications! We show how Piezo1 and the molecular clutch work together to sense viscoelastic cues in stem cells. Grateful to my mentors and co-authors from @uofglasgow.bsky.social & @ibecbarcelona.eu who made this possible! Check it out: rdcu.be/eK8d4
Piezo1 regulates the mechanotransduction of soft matrix viscoelasticity
Nature Communications - Matrix viscoelasticity regulates cell behavior in a stiffness-dependent manner. Here, the authors reveal that the mechanosensitive channel Piezo1 transduces soft matrix...

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!

Check out our latest paper in Advanced Science 🥳, where we use viscoelastic hydrogels to better understand how spatial confinement and matrix viscoelasticity jointly regulate cell migration: lnkd.in/diRstW2B Great collaboration between UMONS and @giusciccone.bsky.social @manuelsalmeron.bsky.social
