🔬📢🧫Check out our new preprint about membrane tension propagation in neuronal axons. Here we use two-trap membrane nanorheology to measure the spatiotemporal distribution of membrane tension gradients. @ICFOnians @NMSBlab @MayteBQ @neusanfeliu biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My paper is now out in the world - I can't believe it! If you want to read the preview it is up on bioRxiv: Membrane mechanics dictate axonal morphology and function biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@EManiax @RangamaniUCSD @CTLeeRes This was an amazing experience, thanks!

This work was not possible without the contributions from @RangamaniUCSD @CTLeeRes @MayteBQ !!! Thank you!!!

Heading to #BPS2023. If you fancy an early start, you are still jet lagged or you are genuinely interested in Spectrin conformation, join me at 8:35 tomorrow, Biopolymers in vivo sub group! thanks to @BiophysicalSoc @IFOMresearch @MSCActions

Check out our new work with @RangamaniUCSD. A great collaboration with Andrea Ghisleni and Nils Gauthier - Mechanically induced topological transition of spectrin regulates its distribution in the mammalian cortex biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our preprint is out! In this work with @RangamaniUCSD, we investigate how mechanical properties of dendritic spines change upon LTP biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join our mini-symposium today at BioQuant 11 am on crosstalk of neuronal signaling and energy metabolism in synapses at @ecmtb2022 with Genevieve Dupont, @RenaudJolivet, Erik De Schutter, @GuadaCGarcia. Organized by @RangamaniUCSD, @GuadaCGarcia and me.

Our review: Can biophysical models of dendritic spines be used to explore synaptic changes associated with addiction? has been published! doi.org/10.1088/1478-3… via @IOPscience with @RangamaniUCSD

Please join our mini-symposium on crosstalk of neuronal signaling and energy metabolism in synapses at @ecmtb2022. Fantastic speaker lineup: Genevieve Dupont, @RenaudJolivet, Erik De Schutter, @UliGraupner. Organized by @RangamaniUCSD, @MayteBQ, and me. @SMB_MathBiology @ESMTBio

Have you ever wondered: Can biophysical models give insight into the synaptic changes associated with addiction? ⁦@RangamaniUCSD⁩ and I did, check out our review arxiv.org/abs/2201.01735
