We’re organizing a conference at @ijmonod.bsky.social in Paris, January 2026, in memory of M.P. Sheetz — pioneer in cell mechanics and mechanobiology, co-discoverer of kinesin, and founder of @mbisg.bsky.social. Join us to explore his legacy.

Thrilled to share our latest study on how mechanical forces drive cell competition! Congratulations to @andreasschoenit.bsky.social, S. Monfared, and L. Anger.

Curious about active boundaries, stress fluctuations, and intercellular forces in cell competition? 👇
