Interested in #mechanobiology? I joined Bruker’s Conversations on AFM to discuss how mechanical forces shape #cells and #tissues, what #AFM can reveal, and why mechanics matters for health and disease. @poldresden.bsky.social @tudresden.bsky.social

Congrats to our latest graduate Gina Dimari 🤩🥳💐@fischerfriedriclab.bsky.social @poldresden.bsky.social freshly graduated @tudresden.bsky.social faculty of Biology. Thanks to everyone involved in the project recently published @cp-iscience.bsky.social

It’s the #filopodia, stupid! 🚀
We just released our new study uncovering how filopodia and hydrostatic #pressure contribute to the regulation of #membrane #tension.
