Hot off Press 🔥 Exciting news to share – my brainchild finally sees the daylight! 🌞 In the field of neonatal care, delayed cord clamping (DCC) is widely recognized as the gold standard for both stable term and preterm newborns at birth. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Thrilled to collaborate with the fantastic team of epithelial mechanics fan club for this thread on Mechanical Cell Competition 🌟. Find out how cells mechanically compete for limited space and resources in a tissue 💪. Thanks to Nimesh Chahare for the opportunity. #CellMechanics #Mechanobiology 🔬🧫

Epithelial tissues are well-known to invade free space and stop proliferation at confluency. Do we know what regulates cell proliferation spatially and temporally? 🧵by Mathieu Dedenon

Hi I’m @yamini-ravichan.bsky.social, a postdoc interested in the mechanical induction of topological defect-mediated morphogenesis. I use different organisms to study the role of topological defects shaping development & regeneration. Below is an insight to the field!

Collective cell motion has many forms, but rotation is the coolest of them all. I'm Nimesh Chahare, and in this short🧵, I'll highlight some instances of global tissue rotation like this one from BauschLab

How can we use cell shapes and geometry to study mechanics of tissues? I'm @juliaeckert.bsky.social and with this thread I would like to show you the secrets of cells and tissues. Let’s connect biology with a little bit of physics. Don't be scared and get inspired 😀. #EpithelialMechanics

🔥New perspective: Can we trust the forces of plastic grown cells? Cells on plastic face unique pressures, altering their genome and mechanobiology. We explore how these changes affect cell forces, their reversibility, and propose mitigation strategies sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🎉 Happy Epithelial Mechanics Day! A huge shoutout to all our delegates who've made this journey possible. Together, we've crafted 25 amazing threads in the past year! Join us to contribute/read our bi-weekly threads. Let's keep this club going! 👥

Congratulations to epithelial mechanics fan club on it's first anniversary. I'm so glad to have been a part of this wonderful community. Kudos to @juliaeckert.bsky.social and Nimesh Chahare 🥂

Out today in Nature Materials, the updated version of our work on nuclear jamming in organogenesis 👁️🧠 Thanks to the reviewers (yes, thanks 😊), we have added a lot of new data. Check below for the new results... 🧵 ➡️rdcu.be/dQDm6

Very Happy to come back from holidays and see our latest work published Nature Genetics with the great Bartomeu Colom and Phil Jones' team Wellcome Sanger Institute! We show how Pik3ca mutant clones expand in the esophagus in a context-responsive way! Thread below👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Cytoskeleton shapes tissues during development. What signaling drives these changes? I'm Nimesh Chahare and let's explore FGF signaling's crucial role with examples. Trust me, you need to know this!

How do cells orchestrate themselves to achieve a directional movement as a group? Hi, I’m Sayuki HIRANO in Kazuhiro Aoki. In this thread, I’ll highlight key mechanisms of how cells communicate with each other to perform directional collective migration.

How do epithelial cells organize uniform polar orientation during long-range collective migration? I'm Emma Lång, and my research focus on collective cell behaviors. In this thread, I will take you through the concept of topology-guided polar ordering of collective cell migration

How is metabolism interconnected with cellular dynamics? We are Eirini Maniou and @hpscenthusiast and through an energy inexpensive process, we will highlight advances in mechano-metabolism and related fields🧵@epimechfc

Thrilled to share our new preprint on detecting the nematic orientation field on surfaces of 3D multicellular systems! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Huge thanks to all authors: Toby Andrews, Joe Pollard, Rashmi Priya @rashmi-priya.bsky.social, Alpha Yap & Richard G. Morris ! Any 3D system?

I’m excited to share that I have started my PhD at The University of Queensland and the Institute for Molecular Bioscience under the mentorship of Prof. Alpha Yap. Looking forward to this new chapter of discovery and growth! #PhD #EpithelialMechanics

Have you ever thought about inflating tissues? Or maybe quickly deflating those inflated tissues? New #EpithelialMechanics pre-print: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… 🧵with pressure control, multiscale buckling, patterned wrinkling

Now published in Nature Communications! 🥳 👉 rdcu.be/eATn3 We developed image analysis tools to capture the nematic orientation field of 3D tissue surfaces and combined soft matter physics with experimental biology. 1/n

(1/n) Excited to share that my PhD work Tamal Das Lab is now published in Nature Cell Biology! How do epithelial cells around a gap sense edge-curvature? We find that the ER acts as a central mechanotransducer, sensing the curvature & guiding cell migration. nature.com/articles/s4155…
