📢PhD opportunity!! The amazing The Francis Crick Institute international PhD Programme is now open! If you are interested in mechanobiology and the ECM, come and join our lab to study the role of the ECM dynamics in tissue organisation. Please RT. crick.ac.uk/careers-study/…

Hello everyone, excited to share our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… ---- Everyday, cells like this crawl through your body to protect you. While we know that their front 🔴 and back 🔵 polarity programs work together, how exactly do these two processes communicate? Lets chat!

Il leader di Hamas Sinwar è stato ucciso non in un sofisticato complesso sotterraneo circondato da guardie e ostaggi, ma da solo, in un appartamento diroccato. Questo ci ricorda che dall'Ucraina all'Afghanistan le basi segrete sotterranee sono un mito 👇 dmdl.substack.com/p/le-basi-segr…

Our work on a new technique we call 3D micropatterned traction force microscopy (3D-μTFM) is now out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Centrar-se en la por a Trump no ha estat una bona estratègia; no és suficient avisar que ve el llop, cal tenir projecte propi. L’extrema dreta avança arreu mentre els qui haurien de fer-li front van a remolc o li compren l’agenda. El mal menor no convenç prou, demà a El Punt Avui 🎗️

PSC i Junts haurien de fer un cop d'ull a Idealista. A Barcelona li diem pis a una habitació amb placa d'inducció i lavabo. 25m2, més de 600€. 11 mesos. Al Baix Llobregat res per sota dels 800 euros. On es suposa que hem de viure? Hi ha un conflicte, estarem a l'alçada. #23N

Let’s understand collective cell migration by breaking it down to its essential elements! I'm Leone Rossetti, and this is a thread showcasing what we can learn from cells journeying along narrow paths, and from the forces they generate. #EpithelialMechanics

New preprint from the lab! We studied how single cells migrate up, down and about fibronectin gradients. Experiments by Isabela Corina Fortunato, PhD , theory by David Bruckner. Collaboration with Edouard Hannezo and Raimon Sunyer IBEC biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#Taldiacomavui de 1939 va néixer Ricard Bofill, l'arquitecte català de més renom internacional després de Gaudí. Estructuralisme, historicisme... des de 1963 practicà diversos estils del Postmodernisme arreu, i això era casa seva: la Fàbrica (1973-75), a Sant Just Desvern. Fil 📐

After living for over a year in Ukraine, traveling across the country, and visiting the frontline multiple times, I had the opportunity to gather some thoughts on the war. I’ve shared them in the🧵below and in an article (link in profile/end of the thread). Hope you enjoy

Yesterday in Ukraine, violence erupted against military recruiters: one was killed in Poltava, and a bomb exploded at an office in Rivne. Is this a sign that Ukrainians' will to fight has vanished—or worse, that it was always a myth? A 🧵 about the "Ukrainian warrior elite"👇

La cafonata delle nozze di Bezos è il trailer del Paese che diventiamo quando “il turismo è il nostro petrolio”. Un'economia modello Twiga con ricchi stranieri che gozzovigliano e gli italiani a fare i camerieri.

🚨 Second preprint of the week! We uncover the multiscale dynamics of active viscoelastic buckling in epithelia. We harness these mechanical instabilities for synthetic morphogenesis. Led by Nimesh Chahare🙌. Theory by Marino Arroyo and team. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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

Thank you Xavi! Click on this to see epithelial pressure control, multiscale buckling, controlled wrinkling x.com/onenimesa/stat…

New preprint! 🚨 We uncover a slow adaptation to stretch that links star-bundling of keratin filaments with nuclear escape from its keratin cage. Led by Tom Golde 🙌 IBEC biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out the preprint of my main work in the lab of Xavier Trepat IBEC. Many thanks to all the people involved!
