Robust pan-junctional reinforcement preserves the gut epithelial barrier under mechanical stress Epithelia are specialized tissue barriers that safeguard the organism's internal milieu from the hostile external environment, a function critically dependent on intercellular junctions. In the colon,...

Ever wondered how adult organs preserve epithelial barrier integrity while continuously exposed to mechanical stress? We tackled this question in our new preprint – led by our brilliant PhD student Vishnu Krishnakumar! (1/11)

We developed image analysis tools to capture the nematic orientation field of 3D tissue surfaces. Tested on epithelial aggregates, zebrafish hearts, myoblasts on spheres & micro-vessels, we combined soft matter physics with exp. biology.

Thanks Mark! 😊

My first experience at a GRC- excellent talks & stimulating conversations. Thanks to everyone to who stopped by my poster- your feedback were incredibly valuable to me. And of course, infinite gratitude goes to @yap-lab.bsky.social, an exceptional mentor and support throughout my journey!

Got this fantastic opportunity to attend a special interest symposium at MIMS2025, and present a poster about my ongoing scRNAseq work. Brilliant talks and engaging discussions- thank you Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology for hosting such an insightful event! #scrnaseq #immunology
