Bart Smeets
@bart-smeets.bsky.social
Professor of the Multicellular System Dynamics Lab at MeBioS KU Leuven. Interested in mechanobiology, computational modeling, active matter, evolution and more!
Our paper is out in Nature Communications!
We combine two-photon microscopy and active foam modeling to show how cell-scale mechanics control the viscoelasticity and fusion of tissue spheroids, linking single-cell behavior to tissue-level properties.

Active foam dynamics of tissue spheroid fusion - Nature Communications
Combining microscopy and modeling, the authors reveal that tissue fluidity, driven by active cell motion and interfacial tension, governs how living spheroids merge into larger structures.

Hi to you all here on Bluesky!
I'm interesting to interact with you all on science and bio-engineering, and hopefully discover a vibrant mechanobiology community!
