🎉 Exciting news! Our project “Modification of the vimentin filament network regulating cell mechanics and matrix remodeling in 3D pulmonary fibrosis models” has been funded in OPUS 29 NCN! #NCN #OPUS29 #PulmonaryFibrosis #Rheology #Vimentin #3DCellCulture @lekka_lab @ifjpan

Just appeared #rheology #cancer #spheroids in #collagen #hydrogels - pubs.acs.org/toc/abseba/0/0 - conducted with a #rheometer not with #AFM this time, :-) @ifjpan

New article on #LSECs cells on #soft substrates from studies conducted by @ZapotocznyBart and co-authors from @lekka_lab and collaborating partners @ifjpan #inflamation #fenestration. Congrats Bartek !

The #SPM40 project, of which we (@lekka_lab ) are a part, is picking up speed. The webpage is on. Check for updates spm40.eu. @SPM40projectEU

Being honored to be keynote speaker and part of the #AFMBioMed2025 organized by @IBECBarcelona and @UniBarcelona. Thanks a lot @GiannottiMarina for inviting me. @ifjpan #cellmechanics, #AFM

@IBECBarcelona I did not know that I changed my name,😃

#Demà | 🔬 Congrés internacional #AFMBioMed2025 sobre els avenços de l’aplicació de la microscòpia de força atòmica en les ciències de la vida i la salut 🗓️ Del 8 a l’11 d’abril 📍 UB 🔗 events.ibecbarcelona.eu/afm-biomed-202… 🗣️ Coneix a la keynote speaker!

New work appeared in domain of #cell_mechanics on #AFM #microrheology of #bladder #cancer cells treated with #docetaxel by @joanna_zem in collaboration with Claude Verdier (LiPhy @UGrenobleAlpes).

Next paper (#BioMechCanDet, GRIEG, financed by @EEANorwayGrants and @NCN_PL), #AFM, #cellmechanics on how #vimentin contributes to #cellrheology of #melanoma cells. Congrats to @joanna_zem and great thanks to @NTNU and Florian (#Bruker).

The collaborative paper on #sarcoma #cellmechanics #singlecell #AFM appeared at sciencedirect.com/science/articl… as a result of Cypriot (@elucyprus)-Polish (@ifjpan)-German (#UniBremen) cooperation. Thank you, @Andreas13817963, for the opportunity to work together.

Next paper (#BioMechCanDet, GRIEG, financed by @EEANorwayGrants and @NCN_PL), #AFM, #cellmechanics on how targeting @RhoROCK pathway impacts #melanoma #invasion. Congrats to Marcin and @ZapotocznyBart . Great thanks to @NTNU. It was nice to collaborate! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

And our Lego AFM.

We are starting .... Scientific Night

Several things happened recently - papers in #RedoxBiology (@ZapotocznyBart ) and #BiosensorsBioelectronics, new members (Justyna & Dibakar) of @lekka_lab, final report for #BioMechCanDet (GRIEG, @NCN, ncn.gov.pl/eeanorwaygrants)... I hope to tweet more soon.

Final workshop, International Visegrad Fund, Press release in Trebonsky Svet, April 2024

At the begining of my scientific way, I was involved in PIXE in synchrotron, now I am back again to @SOLARIS_science (#POLYX). Exited to get first results of #spheroids #tomography....@PAN_akademia @ifjpan @wmkwiatek

Being on final project meeting #Visegradfunds in Trebon (Czech Republic). Frutful collaboration coordinated by @institutrb on the use of #algi fells as #drug #carrier. Thank you Nadica! @ifjpan @VisegradProjekt @wmkwiatek @PAN_akademia.

Coming back to Bremen for Shruti great defense....Congratulations Shruti! @Phys2BioMed @ifjpan @WMKwiatek

It is very nice to return to the Zakopane workshop initiated by Prof. M. Szymonski in 2000 to meet old friends and discuss AFM/STM-related aspects (and present our work by Sara, @ZapotocznyBart, Oliwia, and Marcin. @ifjpan @WMKwiatek #AFM @kajangikanji

@GuckLab @dgz Congratulations - well deserved !

Excited and honoured to be receiving this recognition. Thanks @DGZ 🤓

Our collaboration with RBI resulted in a new paper on Behavior and surface properties of #microalgae. Online DOI:10.1007/s10811-023-03105-w ; @lekka_lab @VisegradProjekt #cellmechanics @ifjpan
