Active foam dynamics of tissue spheroid fusion - Nature Communications Combining microscopy and modeling, the authors reveal that tissue fluidity, driven by active cell motion and interfacial tension, governs how living spheroids merge into larger structures.

Our paper is out in Nature Communications!

We combine two-photon microscopy and active foam modeling to show how cell-scale mechanics control the viscoelasticity and fusion of tissue spheroids, linking single-cell behavior to tissue-level properties.

Good luck on your new journey @ricardalert.bsky.social !

Consider submitting an abstract for CellMech 2025. The deadline for abstract submission has been extended. We have an amazing line-up of invited speakers and I am sure you will have a good time in Leuven!

Hi to you all here on Bluesky!
I'm interesting to interact with you all on science and bio-engineering, and hopefully discover a vibrant mechanobiology community!
