⚡ This cycle is mechanosensitive & calcium-driven.
Chromatin compaction is triggered by Ca²⁺ and mechanics. Chromatin rewetting is associated to a Ca²⁺ spark, fueling nuclear + cytoskeletal changes, JNK activation, and actin ring formation.

We know tissue mechanics matter in healing, but what happens at the chromatin level?
Our new preprint shows that chromatin briefly “de-wets” from the lamina, then re-wets to kick off repair.
Mechanics→chromatin→contraction→healing.
