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…

There is increasing evidence that cancer progression is linked to tissue viscoelasticity. Universidad Granada scientists explore the topic, including how the use of biofabricated tumor models for studying the impact of ECM viscoelasticity on cancer behavior. 🔗 bit.ly/4fnQzFo
