Looking for an #HFSP ally on a topic of Mechanobiology? We’ve got you covered with #AtomicForceMicroscopy, #CellCulture, #Mechanobiological #Modeling, & more! Interested? Let’s connect! Deadline March 26!! Details physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/team/pol-group… #Collaboration

ECM as a cell-cycle brake. Led by Liyuan Sui (Dahmann lab), we show that the ECM gates Yorkie nuclear entry to halt proliferation at final size via G2 arrest in the Drosophila wing disc. ECM degradation later enables re-entry + proper adult wing size. Link 👇 #Mechanobiology #ECM

New paper out: AFM-tip fluctuations inside the actin cortex reveal that effective temperature can remain unchanged while time-irreversibility/entropy production drop (turnover inhibition). #CellMechanics #ActiveMatter #Nonequilibrium @PoLDresden @tudresden_de

Congrats to our latest graduate Gina Dimari 🤩🥳💐@FischerFriedLab @PoLDresden freshly defended @tudresden_de Faculty of Biology. Thanks to collaborators of the project Alexander Wurm and Anke Fuchs recently published @iscience

How do individual proteins sculpt the epithelial basement membrane? Our new study uncovers their role in network structure, nematic alignment & fractal patterns. 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #CellBiology #ECM #BasementMembrane #Drosophila

Why do secondary #tumors go for #MET during the metastatic cascade? Our new study suggests that immune evasion—rather than faster proliferation—might give them the edge. 👉 cell.com/iscience/fullt… #CancerResearch #TumorBiology #Immunology #Metastasis

Congrats to Yanin Guerra Santillan who presented her postdoc project on #basementmembrane today at #GRC on #adhesion and #CellContacts 👏
