We look forward to hearing feedback from the community on our #preprint where we used #NETosis as a platform to show that chromatin decompaction inside the nucleus directly regulates cell mechanics. This work identifies long-range biophysical impacts of chromatin in mammalian cells.
Chromatin is a long-range force generator that regulates plasma membrane tension and cell integrity independently of gene expression https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.02.680155v1

Thank you very much @abdourachidthiam.bsky.social for kicking off the 2025 Stanford BioE colloquium @bioe-stanford.bsky.social! We had a blast learning about cellular lipid droplets and seeing all the creative ways you combine cell biology, chemistry and physics!!!
