CUI Hongyue

Experienced in nano-and micro-fabrication? MBI is recruiting a new Head of our Microfabrication Core Facility. More details in the flyer and at mbi.nus.edu.sg/jobs/seeking-h…

Please join us this Wed/Thu for Dr. Zheng Shi's (Rutgers) talk entitled "Mechanics of condensates in the cytoplasm" in the Physical Properties of the Cytoplasm online seminar series. For more info, visit cytophys.org

New preprint out! We uncover a compensatory network linking cell mechanics, PI3K/Akt signaling, and ion exchanger NHE1. Actomyosin disruption activates PI3K/Akt → NHE1, generating a biphasic response in mechanosensation. doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

2025年7月6日から12日に、メカノバイオロジー関連の国際シンポジウムがベトナムで行われるそうです。要旨提出の締切は4月30日。登録締切は6月6日。 豪華な招待講演者をご覧ください。会場も素晴らしいです。おすすめです！ icisequynhon.com/conferences/20…

@kenneylj My heartfelt condolences. Mike is the greatest guru and pioneer in Mechanobiology. I was very lucky to be a student and a teaching assistant in his class, The Cell as a Machine, and that was a great opportunity to explore the world of mechanobiology.

My heart is broken as I announce the passing of my beloved husband, science partner and friend, Michael Sheetz. A remarkable scientist we packed 40 years of living into 20. Rejuvenation of senescent cells and mice in Press in Aging Cell; his last words were this was his best work

A fantastic PhD project combining high-resolution live imaging and Mechanobiology! @centuri_ls

The @ConfinementLab's latest paper is out in @PNASNews! Fantastic work by @LY_Sci to build a tool to rapidly and accurately measure nuclear volume and surface area in #confinement. Thread below: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

It is nice to see that our model of nucleus volume regulation can fit well the highly nonlinear behavior of nucleus volume as a function of the cell volume observed in experiments, which previous models were unable to predict. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

SG is in SD! In town for #ASCB2024? Interested in #mechanobiology? Join the @MBIsg for the ASCB-MBI joint symposium: 5 PM today (Monday), ballroom 30C. Say hi to your favorite MBI PIs including Rong Li, @ConfinementLab, @nano_jenn , @NatalieADye, @AlpheeMichelot, and Low BC!

New preprint from the Sun lab @SXS_biophysics, and 2 more coming soon! Led by @Jfu32Fu, we show that cells prioritize regulating mass density (mass/volume) by coordinating volume and protein synthesis together, under perturbations like osmotic shock. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to Qin and the team on publishing our latest work: cell.com/cell-reports/f…. The paper shows how NHE works with F-actin and other cell components to drive cell swelling and cell shape change.

Lab meeting with the Chan Lab The lab of @ChiiJChan1, based at the Mechanobiology Institute @NUSingapore, is interested in how mechanics regulates mammalian folliculogenesis and ovarian dynamics. Meet the lab and find out what it's like working @MBIsg: thenode.biologists.com/lab-meeting-wi…

Please join us for the #DGZ Focus Workshop on #MembraneTrafficking & #EVs, next Tuesday, 29.10. at noon, organized by @Fran_Bottanelli & Kerstin Menck, featuring talks by Kerstin Menck, Frederik Verweij, @AgataWitkowska & @JieqiongGao (Postdoc @UngermannLab)⬇️

Honored that our paper has been selected as the cover story in @NatureAging! 🎉Big thanks to Chun So's lab for their News & Views! #OocyteRejuvenation #ReproductiveAging

Its award time again - join us online for the @DGZ_info 2024 award session on October 7th!
