MEOW Lab

We are very happy for the opportunity to chase wild dreams. Thank you NSF. MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!!! new.nsf.gov/news/nsf-award…

Check out this paper we contributed about the interdisciplinary opportunities to study collective behaviors in cancer. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out this cool paper! Mitochondrial spatial differences in the hepatic lobule reveals important structural and functional diversity.

Our new preprint, “A spatial map of hepatic mitochondria uncovers functional heterogeneity shaped by nutrient-sensing signaling” is now online! Led by the talented @SunWooSophieKa1 with help from @RoryCunningham, Colin Miller Conny Cultraro

Howdy CellBio partners! Have you seen our recent paper in @BiophysJ? We recount the development of techniques in determining cellular migration modes. We also review the latest bio-tools to measure cellular forces: doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.… #CellMechanics #ForceMeasurement

Our review paper on imaging probes for fluid viscosity, membrane tension and temperature is out now! Great job Matt and Abdulla! Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.bioc…

New Research: Mechanical regulation of signal transduction in angiogenesis: Biophysical and biochemical cues work in concert to regulate angiogenesis. These cues guide angiogenesis during development and wound healing. Abnormal cues… frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #celldevbio

Our review paper “Mechanical regulation of signal transduction in angiogenesis” is out now doi.org/10.3389/fcell.…

A study in @NaturePhysics provides evidence that cells utilize membrane ruffling to sense changes in extracellular fluid viscosity and to trigger adaptive responses. go.nature.com/3oyIXXB

Check out the @NaturePhysics News and Views article “Ruffled in water, smooth in honey”. We thank Drs. Laura M. Faure and Pere Roca-Cusachs for their beautiful summary and discussion on our paper. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Our paper “Membrane ruffling is a mechanosensor of extracellular fluid viscosity” was published in Nature Physics. Matt Pittman is the first author. Thank you to all our collaborators for their efforts on this project. nature.com/articles/s4156…
