Cell adhesion and spreading on fluid membranes through microtubules-dependent mechanotransduction - Nature Communications
During cell adhesion, integrins are typically thought to require immobilized ligands for spreading. Here, the authors demonstrate that cells can spread and form mature integrin adhesions on fluid subs...

1/11 🚨 New research! 🚨 We explored how cells adhere to supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) using Invasin, a high-affinity integrin ligand. Surprisingly, cells spread and form mature integrin adhesions on fluid SLBs, revealing a novel microtubule-driven mechanotransduction! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How do genes that keep melanocytes alive affect #melanoma?
Using a #zebrafish line with mitfa-driven Cas9, researchers show that knocking out survival genes can sometimes fuel more aggressive tumour traits.

Just back from the #Arolla conference in the Swiss Alps 🌄 — 40 years of history, but still unmatched in atmosphere & scientific exchange. Grateful for the inspiring discussions in such a unique setting!

Today we had a beatiful talk of @mikhajlov-oleg.bsky.social in the Biology Club.
We learned a lot about sguanine crystalls and their physical properties 🐟🐠.
Don't miss the next Biology Club!

Great job, Olga! Congrats!
New paper alert! ‼️‼️
Super happy to share that my postdoc paper is finally out!
1/3 We looked at scaling of chromosome separation during anaphase in zebrafish embryos.
