Discover the secrets of cell rounding during detachment of interphase cells in our latest article! Our study uncovers the role of actomyosin-dependent cortical remodeling and ERM activation in driving this process. Interesting reading for anyone studying cell mechanics!

I 🩷 this paper! We show that the shells of 🐚Pinna Nobilis have unusual optical properties: each prism acts as an optical fiber guiding the light to the inner shell cavity by total internal reflection ⚡️ Shahrouz Amini Abin Biswas Kyoohyun Kim @BM_MPICI @MPI_light Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology
