Hello, 🛠️ We are preparing something really exciting. 📢 We will announce it very soon... #StayTuned 👀🤔 Sylvain GABRIELE , Kalukula Yohalie , Luciano Marine , Apeksha Shapeti , Bart Smeets , Jorge Barrasa Fano

Congrats David, very well deserved 👏🏻 I look forward to collaborating with your new group !

Luciano, M., Tomba, C., Roux, A., & Gabriele S. (2024). How multiscale curvature couples forces to cellular functions. Nat Rev Phys, 6, 246–268. #EpithelialMechanicsReview nature.com/articles/s4225…

Highlight of our recent review on multiscale curvature in Nature Reviews Physics with Luciano Marine Caterina Tomba and Roux Lab 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

📢Hot off the press: our review on "tissue active matter" Together with Edouard Hannezo, we review theoretical approaches for tissue dynamics, integrating active mechanics, cell-cell interactions and biochemical signaling Now out in CSH Perspectives: ➡️cshperspectives.cshlp.org/content/early/…

My group will be open to host PhD students & rotations for the upcoming Biozentrum, University of Basel Fellowship call We use theoretical physics to understand complex biological systems, from chromosomes to embryos Interested? Check our research & get in touch➡️davidbrueckner.de/research Please RT

📢 Dear mechanobiologists, we are very happy to announce that Sylvain GABRIELE Bart Smeets and MAtrix labs will organize #cellmech2025 at Leuven in Belgium 🇧🇪 🗓️Save the date and stay tuned for more infos very soon: cellmech2025.org

Nearly everyone found their way to the Gordon Research Conferences on Multiscale #Mechanochemistry and #Mechanobiology after the #ITOutage. Great kickoff by Christoph Weder and Sarah Heilshorn last night. Now looking forward to a full day of synthetic and biological mechanoresponsive molecules.

Chiral mismatch in collagen-mimetic peptides modulates cell migration through integrin-mediated molecular recognition biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Proteins are left-handed and in the (levo) L-form. However, what could be the influence of matrix chirality on cell behavior ? To answer this, we studied cell migration on homo- and hetero-chiral mimetic peptides in our new preprint 👇🏼 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🔥 New preprint online on cell-cell interactions 🔥

Preprint alert! We show that the electrical maturation of neurons is regulated by environmental mechanics in vitro & in vivo, and we identify a mechanotransduction pathway. A tour de force by Eva Kreysing et al, great collaboration with Thora Karadottir Lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our new method in Science Magazine to advance the properties of DLP-printed materials. This work was led by Abhishek Dhand & @fiber_matt in collaboration w/ Hannah Zlotnick & NIST colleagues.

Very inspiring week in Lewiston, ME with Kalukula Yohalie for the Gordon Research Conferences on mechanochemistry and mechanobiology mcb2024 !

📢 Do cells migrating on a confined environment have a mechanical memory of their previous state ? We tried to answer this question in our new preprint 👇🏼 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… an outstanding work by Kalukula Yohalie and very great collab with David Brückner

A general mechanism of left-right symmetry breaking is observed in epithelial spheres, highlighting the subtle interplay between geometry, topology, and collective dynamics in living #tissue. Read the paper: go.aps.org/3ysH3Ar

Looking for a summer read?🏖️🌞📄 You're in luck 😂. Our paper on optogenetic leader cells is out Nature Physics. We found a force-velocity relation for collective cell migration. Experiments by Leone Rossetti, theory by @ricardalert. IBEC rdcu.be/dQDmM

Joint preLights post with Vibha Singh on how “Cells "Remember" Their Shape via Actin Cortex, a Flexible Memory System” - recent preprint from Kalukula Yohalie, Sylvain GABRIELE and team prelights.biologists.com/highlights/the…

New preLights alert 🚨!! “Cells "Remember" Their Shape via Actin Cortex, a Flexible Memory System”. Excellent collaboration with Prasanna Padmanaban covering bioRxiv Cell Biology amazing preprint from Kalukula Yohalie Sylvain GABRIELE.
