I am putting together a collection of video-protocols we (will) use in tissue mechanics research🌀
I hope to help consolidate established methods, but also showcase a few up-and-coming ones in our blooming field.
Abstract submission by March 2026! Get in touch✨

For this festive season, I’m sending friends and family something a little different: postcards straight from the microscope. 🔬
Featuring my hiPSC Christmas tree from last year and a hiPSC colony turned into a festive bauble, with wishes for a season that’s festive at every scale. 🎄

You know that sinking feeling 🥶 when it was all going well, but this past month your cells stopped attaching to their protein patterns? Could it be the change of season...? 🫠

After 80 years of observations, we finally took a deeper look thanks to 2D #organoids. We report:
3D #forces, #extrusion still only in the villus even without curvature, #lamellipodia generate 3D force.. and more. Have a look!
