How do cell interactions determine the migration of cell trains? 🦠🚂🤔 Check out our latest study in Nature Physics in collab w/ Sylvain GABRIELE Edouard Hannezo Xavier Trepat & experiments led by Eleonore Vercruysse! ➡️nature.com/articles/s4156…

8y in the making and out now. Very proud of this, in collaboration with Albada Lab, by fantastic phd student Martijn van Galen. We managed to engineer one of Nature’s most clever molecular mechanobiology tool from the bottom up: de novo-catch bonds…a 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4155…

One UK institute has produced a dozen Nobel laureates and biomedical breakthroughs across the board. How does Cambridge’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology do it? go.nature.com/3VGmuYI

Thrilled that our latest paper on engineered matrices for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) organoids is now live Nature Materials! Follow along to learn why PDAC organoids develop chemoresistance when cultured in high stiffness matrices. 🔎 (1/12) nature.com/articles/s4156…

Now out! I'm beyond thrilled to share our method for dynamically measuring neurulation forces. We hope that our addition to the toolkit will push forward the quantification of living tissue mechanics.

Traditional courses on thermodynamics are shockingly weak in developing thermodynamic models. In particular, such courses are devoid of models illustrated by this theory of phase transition. docs.google.com/document/d/1iE…

Tight junctions assemble from protein condensates that spread along the cell membrane like a water droplet spreading over glass go.nature.com/4ddENw1

Excited to share our new paper on 3D printable κ-carrageenan hydrogels!🌿 This algae-based ink enables load-bearing structures to be printed at room temperature, offering a sustainable alternative for tissue engineering and food applications. Check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
