🚨Checkout our new preprint on the interplay between matrix viscoelasticity and spatial confinement on the mechanobiology of mammary epithelial cells by Giuseppe Ciccone, in collaboration with Manuel Salmeron and Massimo Vassalli 👇🏼 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

We are hiring for a 2y post-doc within the Centre for the Cellular Microenvironment to work on on "Brillouin Microscopy of in-vitro bone marrow models to support early diagnosis of leukaemia". Get in touch if you are interested! linkedin.com/posts/massimov…



***PhD Opportunity*** "(Inter)Facing mechanotransduction-related aspects of brain tumour cell metastasis and therapeutic resistance" If 1) these key words raise your curiosity, 2) you could imagine to live in Glasgow🏴 and 3) work at the Biomed Engineering , please contact me😊!


Force-controlled nanopipettes allow precise control of mechanical stimuli to single cells, applied here to investigate the activation of Piezo1 mechanosensitive ion channels. Massimo Vassalli nature.com/articles/s4159…



Do you know how mechanical forces lead cell responses and inflammation? We don't, but we would love to understand this! Fully funded #PhD, Centre for the Cellular Microenvironment, to merge stromal #immunology #mechanobiology and #glycomics. Details here:✍️rb.gy/3scyvy Deadline: 17th June!⏰


Happy to share the preprint of my PhD work, addressing how Piezo1 is involved in sensing ECM viscoelasticity: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Giuseppe Ciccone Sirio Dupont Oana Dobre Massimo Vassalli Manuel Salmeron


Great to see the PRISM-LT project, led by Massimo Vassalli of UofG Engineering, showcased in Horizon Magazine! The multinational PRISM-LT team are working across Europe to develop cost-effective 3D printing of a variety of living tissues. Read more ⬇️ ….research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/en/horizon-mag…
