Congratulations to our postdoc @henrydebelly.bsky.social for opening his own lab at UTSW!! 🎉
Thrilled to announce the launch of my lab
@cri-utsw.bsky.social at UTSW this January!

We will explore how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces, focusing on membrane mechanics to reveal how tension and signaling work together to shape cell behavior.
We're growing! Our newest Investigator @henrydebelly.bsky.social will join the CRI Tissue #Regeneration Program in January 2026. Learn more about Henry ➡️ cri.utsw.edu/faculty/henr... and 📌apply to research in his lab cri.utsw.edu/careers

@henrydebelly.bsky.social @oweinerlab.bsky.social elegantly showed how migrating cells exhibit a long-range mutual activation and partitioning of GTPases at both the front and back of the cell, functioning as an integrated mechano-chemical system. He’s also recruiting for his new lab!🧑‍🔬#MBIMPG2025

WAVE complex forms linear arrays at negative membrane curvature to instruct #lamellipodia formation, say Muziyue Wu, Orion Weiner @oweinerlab.bsky.social and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

In new @jcb.org study from Muziyue Wu et al. @oweinerlab.bsky.social, in vivo biochemistry sheds new light on how the WAVE complex templates the characteristic shape of lamellipodial protrusions. rupress.org/jcb/article/...
