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...
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...

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.

This was a really amazing experience!With super interesting discussions and a very interdisciplinary group! Looking forward for the next physics of early divisions!
Had a great time this week with a wonderful group of researchers at our workshop on the physics of early embryonic cell divisions! Big thanks to everyone there, i.e. Johanna, Frank, Laura and Adam from @biologists.bsky.social, and to my co-organizer @kamenzlab.bsky.social! Let’s do this again!
