Understanding the physics of cancer, preventing metastases: Jochen Guck (GuckLab 🇺🇦) receives the Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften Leopoldina Greve Prize 👏 The ability to explain the conditions that lead to cancer metastases is key to developing new approaches to cancer treatment. 👉 bit.ly/MPL-Guck-Greve…

Deadline approaching! Please get in touch if you are interested to find out more!

🎉 We're excited to share our new research in nature! We reveal that crocodile head scales self-organize through compressive folding of the skin - a mechanical twist on their development & evolution! Please read & share 🐊🔬 Genetics & Evolution Université de Genève nature.com/articles/s4158…

Check out our latest review on the mechanics of cardiac morphogenesis!🤓💙 #mechanobiology #devbio sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out this great write-up about our mobile Optical Coherence Microscope (OCM) and how it contributed to EMBL's TREC expedition across Europe! 🔬🚚🐠

Through live imaging enabled by new tools, Wuergezhen et al. visualises the hidden dynamics of the basement membrane (BM). We show how BM turnover & expansion coordinate with cellular movements & divisions, highlighting their active & synergistic roles in skin morphogenesis.

Great start to the 2025 MBI Weekly Seminars with a super engaging talk by Sheng S.-H. Chen from IMB Academia Sinica on how ferroptotic (iron-dependent cell death) trigger waves behave similarly to a wild fire to initiate and propagate large scale cell death during development.

Mechanobiology Institute (MBI), National University of Singapore, is seeking outstanding students to join our PhD training programme in mechanobiology. The application deadline for the PhD programme is fast approaching: 13 Jan 2025
