Want to make focal adhesions with light? Wonder what role phase separation plays in focal adhesions and what is required to create one? Check out our preprint! Thanks to @artemefremov.bsky.social and everyone involved. Stay tuned for more on this topic in the not so distant future!

We’re organizing a conference at @ijmonod.bsky.social in Paris, January 2026, in memory of M.P. Sheetz — pioneer in cell mechanics and mechanobiology, co-discoverer of kinesin, and founder of @mbisg.bsky.social. Join us to explore his legacy.

These were amazing several days at the conference organized by MBI and Max Planck Society. One of the best mechanobiology conferences I have ever seen, with three hundred researchers from all over the world, including some of the most famous ones.

Congratulations to the first authors of the study, Ping Liu and Qiuyu Wang, and big thanks to our collaborators and all the reviewers who helped us to improve the article!

Our study on the mechanosensitive behavior of cell adhesion, showing the existence of a force-transmission mechanism that behaves very differently from the well-known 'load-and-fail' mechanism, was published in Nature Physics:

We study how living things build themselves. Core approaches are molecular biophysics and cryo-ET. We also work closely with developmental and computational biologists. Will post about new results, relevant meetings, and cool papers from collaborators.
We are the Cluster of Excellence Physics of Life (PoL) of Technische Universität Dresden @tudresden.bsky.social @dfg.de
Our goal is to unravel the principles underlying the organization of living matter.
