Does viscoelastic confinement physically alter cell proliferation? Sree @padmanabh97 & @Mridul_Gautam01, along with @bagade_nikita18 & Sunil Laxman, discovered a 3D confinement-driven cell cycle regulation in budding yeast. (1/9) @NCBS_Bangalore @ESoftbio tinyurl.com/esoftbio20252

How do worms navigate through complex environments? Our latest work from @ESoftbio @NCBS_Bangalore, co-led by @Saheli_Dey98 and Sree @padmanabh97 uncovers a fascinating paradigm exploring how confinement regulates motility in 3D granular matrices! 1/11 📜 tinyurl.com/esoftbio20251

The most awaited part of #NCBS_AnnualTalks2025 -the poster awards! Funded by the Infosys Foundation India, 7 of our graduate students received the best poster award across seven categories 1. Biochemistry, biophysics & Bioinformatics category - Sreepadmanabh M (@ESoftbio lab)

New Collab with @sayantanD2 from @iitbombay is out @PhysRevE. @nandhu_kb @NCBS_Bangalore has theoretically demonstrated that a wound in an epithelial monolayer can undergo three distinct phases of closure. @padmanabh97 validated these experimentally. 1/5 tinyurl.com/babun1

Latest work from our group @Esoftbio @NCBS_Bangalore, led by Sree @padmanabh97, is out today in @NatureComms! In colab with @DeepaAgashe @c_kurzthaler we report that the physical confinement acts as a selective pressure on bacterial growth in 3D! [1/16] tinyurl.com/mvbdm3ue

Sree @padmanabh97 will be presenting our work on bacterial growth under 3D confinement from @NCBS_Bangalore in the PhD café (bit.ly/PhDCafe) series, organized by @IndiaBioscience at 4 PM (IST) this Tuesday! Zoom: buff.ly/3XHewkk Youtube: tinyurl.com/Phdcafe

Eager to culture and bioprint cells in 3D? A collaborative effort from our lab @NCBS_Bangalore led by Sree @padmanabh97 summarizes the current approaches for making 3D cell culture and 3D bioprinting platforms. Now a Featured Article in @BiophysRev (1/2) tinyurl.com/3p468bxt

How do physical properties of bacterial niches affect their colony growth in 3D? @padmanabh97 shows for the first time that physical confinement in 3D can selectively favor the colony growth of certain bacterial strains over others. @NCBS_Bangalore tinyurl.com/kp33sy6a (1/8)

Because working with @tapomoy89 and the @ESoftbio team is a gift that keeps on giving! Major thanks to efforts from @Meenakshigb17 @PSanjenbam @c_kurzthaler @RamrayB and @DeepaAgashe, helping us explore the exciting domain of active biological matter under 3D confinement!

Postdoc position alert: We have an open postdoc position in our lab @NCBS_Bangalore @ESoftbio. Please reach out to us if you have experience / interest in 3D printing or cellular behavior in 3D. PhDs in biology, engineering, and material sciences are encouraged to apply.

Are you interested in 3D cell culture/ 3D bioprinting? Our work from @NCBS_Bangalore will help you get started in no time. In this work @padmanabh97 reports a simple one-step method of manufacturing jammed agarose microgel-based 3D growth medium. (1/4) tinyurl.com/mrfuh349
