Excited to share our collaborative study led by @TorokNatalie, out in Nature today! It describes how enhanced matrix viscoelasticity promotes liver cancer progression in the pre-cirrhotic liver. nature.com/articles/s4158…




Excited to share our paper in @NatureMaterials titled "Cell volume expansion and local contractility drive collective invasion of the basement membrane in breast cancer". Co-led by Dr. @_juliechang and Dr. @aashrithsarasw1. (1/n) nature.com/articles/s4156…







A new joint theory/experiment paper led by @ZeGongGreg just appeared in Nature Communications! We show how wave-like dynamics of immune cell podosomes arise from the coupling between chemo-mechanical signaling and actin diffusion. @CEMB_STC @PennEngineers nature.com/articles/s4146…
