Less than a week left for abstract submission for #EESMechanobiology - join us in this long-standing meeting on the mechanics of life.
Excited to share this new work from Ana Raffaelli, in collaboration with Ewa Paluch's lab and involving several of my colleagues at Cyclana Bio. In this paper, we show that basement membrane mechanics instructs developmental signalling and fate patterning.

PhD position in my lab!
#LivingArchitectures
We put cells and cytoskeleton filaments on the architecture of the musée d'Orsay.

Scientists of the #CytoMorphoLab adapted their protocols to illustrate the questions that keep them awake at night.
-> Two shows on the 24th and 25th of January.
Check out #6 and #17 ... seeking to unravel the central mystery of immune recognition/response with some help from physics.
Congratulations to Celia Municio-Diaz in the lab for this new publication, showing that Cell Wall mechanosensors taken from distant yeast species can still function and detect forces in the foreign cell wall of fission yeast cells!
@ijmonod.bsky.social @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social
interesting work revealing differences between evolutionary distant actins!
"..... ADP-actin filaments depolymerize faster and are mechanically more flexible in Saccharomyces cerevisiae compared to Schizosaccharomyces pombe. "

is there a direct crosstalk between actin and vimentin intermediate filaments? Our work shows that vimentin promotes actin assembly by stabilizing ATP-subunits at the barbed end.
Fantastic work done by @lilianpaty.bsky.social with @romet-jegou-lab.bsky.social

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Soft Matter and Living Systems (MC02), jointly supported by the Condensed Matter Division and the Physics & Life Sciences Division of SFP.
At the intersection of soft matter physics, biological and active matter, out-of-equilibrium systems, and the physics of living systems...
Congratulations! Beautiful work
Unique opportunity to join the CytoMorpho Lab (in Paris ❤️) as a postdoc to work on the self-organization and polarization of reconstituted networks made of microtubules, motors and actin filaments in vitro. Experience required.
Please Repost 🙏 thanks !
