The actin cortex acts as a mechanical memory of morphology in confined migrating cells - Nature Physics Cells often navigate through confined spaces. Now it is shown that cells retain a mechanical memory of previous confinement events, which makes them more efficient at migrating through narrow microenv...

Excited to share our new publication in Nature Physics about the mechanical memory of morphology in confined migrating cells by @kyohalie.bsky.social 🥳

Super fun collab with @davidbrueckner.bsky.social and @gcharras.bsky.social 👏🏻

Check out my preLight post on the recent preprint by James Armstrong and team on Coagulative granular hydrogels

High‐Throughput Single‐Cell Analysis of Local Nascent Protein Deposition in 3D Microenvironments via Extracellular Protein Identification Cytometry (EPIC) Knowledge of the extracellular matrix drives the understanding of cell behavior. However, current analysis methods are limited to either bulk or low-throughput single-cell analysis, thus masking the ...

Second: Thrilled to share my co-authored work (2nd research paper) led by #Marieke at #LeijtenLab in Advanced Materials @AdvPortfolio onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Wrapping the year with two gifts
First, I am happy to share that my first paper (part) of my PhD work on "On-Cell coupling of biomaterials regulate Stem Cell Fate via intracellular biophysical Programming" has been published in #Advancedfunctionalmaterials
