Structure and Function of the Cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton, a dynamic and intricate network of protein filaments, is found within the cytoplasm of all cells, from bacteria and archaea to complex eukaryotes. This essential cellular component …

Robust pan-junctional reinforcement preserves the gut epithelial barrier under mechanical stress
Epithelia are specialized tissue barriers that safeguard the organism's internal milieu from the hostile external environment, a function critically dependent on intercellular junctions. In the colon,...

Can pressure gradients persist over long timescales in animal cells? We induced intracellular pressure gradients and examined the resulting flows in single cells. We reveal surprisingly long lasting pressure gradients.

🥳 Thrilled to share our lab's first preprint, led by our talented postdoc Justine Creff! 👩🏻🔬 We tackled a fundamental question: how the epithelium withstands mechanical stress at the interface of cells with distinct geometries and mechanics, such as enterocytes (E) and goblet cells (G) (1/9)

Very happy to see my PhD work published and featured as the cover of MBoC. Thanks to Jasmine, Manasi, Giulia and of course Guillaume @gcharras.bsky.social and Alan @quantumjot.bsky.social for all the support! doi.org/10.1091/mbc....
Spatial and temporal signatures of cell competition revealed by K-function analysis | Molecular Biology of the Cell
Cell competition is often categorized into mechanical competition, during which loser cell elimination is induced by long-range mechanical effects, and biochemical competition, during which loser cell...
