It sure took a while, but we made it here...the Gloerich lab is finally on twitter! We'll be sharing everything that excites us on mechanobiology and more!

Monster et al. GloerichLab show how epithelial cells can round up in #mitosis while maintaining epithelial barrier integrity. This requires an asymmetric composition of mitotic cell-cell junctions through an E-cadherin mechanoresponse in neighbor cells. bit.ly/3ex5iBb

Check out our methods paper in STAR Protocols on performing Seahorse analysis on organoids! Thanks to Maaike & Maria Rodriguez Colman! #metabolism #organoids. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Today I was able to present our research at the #AM2021 of the Oncode Institute. A special thanks to the scientific committee for giving me this opportunity! GloerichLab

To everybody who liked science and riddles: our institute UMCU_CMM is doing a 'Who's the Scientist' riddle series. Try to identify the scientist using the hints. Here's the first one: youtu.be/CeFvuD-y_B0

Excited to share our #mechanotransduction review in Curr Opin Cell Biol, for which we teamed up with Swaminathan Lab to discuss how mechanical forces can induce very different cellular responses dependent on their magnitude, direction and duration…sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are looking for a PhD student to study the function of signaling condensates in gene regulation in cancer. Please apply or RT! schuijerslab.org/vacancies

Check out this new preprint from our lab! GloerichLab

Happy to share our new preprint, showing how epithelia sense cell density through forces on E-cadherin to control G2 progression and cell division. Many thanks to wonderful collaborators in Xavier Trepat and Borghi labs! Details in thread👇 UMCU_CMM biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

We are looking for a new Principal Investigator in the field of human (onco) genetics UMCU_CMM. Who will be become our new colleague and strengthen our 17-headed PI team at the Center for Molecular Medicine UMC Utrecht ? Please RT vernieuwmee.nl/vacatures/rese… #vacancy #Genetics

We are looking to expand! Interested in exploring the role of force-sensitive cell-cell adhesions in healthy tissues and cancer? We have 2 fully funded postdoc positions available in our lab! See: tinyurl.com/gloerichlab Please RT!🙏 UMCU_CMM
