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…



🎉 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…




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.



Our work on the role of endogenous electric fields in guiding collective cell migration in vivo is finally out Nature Materials ! nature.com/articles/s4156… Congrats to all the authors, specially Fernando and Sofia Moreira from my lab #bioelectrics #devbio #cellmigration #xenopus



🚨 Paper Alert 🚨 Absolutely delighted to share our last paper on "spatial mechano-transcriptomics" in Nature Methods👇!! nature.com/articles/s4159…


Three weeks left until the abstract submission deadline for our joint MBI-MPI #mechanobiology conference this September! Mechanobiology Institute Max Planck Society To early career scientists- be sure to apply for a travel award to present your work! mbi.nus.edu.sg/events/mbiconf…


We thought we were just studying mesoglea biogenesis…Turns out Nematostella has been hiding a sophisticated backup pressure valve! Work driven by the talented PhD student Soham Basu! @EMBL #nematostella #morphogenesis biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Fantastic work by 🇦🇷🇦🇷Juan Manuel Gomez Elliff! See below the updated & published version of our paper on the mechanical dynamics of cells during Drosophila gastrulation - out now in Nature Communications! Congrats to the whole team - wonderful collaboration with the labs of Maria Leptin & Julio Belmonte 🥳🥂🙌
