🔬 Honored to present at #ICBME with our #PIEZO1 geometrical mechanosensing works! Amazing discussions on #mechanobiology with brilliant minds NUSBME & Biomedical Engineering, University of Sydney chaired by Andrew Holle Jennifer Young and support from Snow Medical Heart Foundation Charles Perkins Centre Mechanobiology Institute Australian Society for Mechanobiology (AuSMB) Sydney Nano




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.


.kashish jain et al. show that #integrins form STARnodes—long-lived #nanoclusters that regulate mechanosignaling by organizing key proteins (FAK, paxillin, vinculin) within adhesions. 🔬 Mechanobiology Institute Read it here 🔗 go.acs.org/c7R
