Published online today in Nature Physics - we show how multicellular spheroids round up and orbit, driving a deterministic transition to 3D matrix invasion at predictable locations.
Amazing work from @jiwon-kim.bsky.social, @htjeong.bsky.social and collaborators

I'm very happy to share my first article as a corresponding author published in @natmethods.nature.com !! π
Some groups (like us) have developed complex 3DTFM methods in the last 15 years.
BUT its usage in studies that help better understand disease or development has been almost non-existent.

Vimentin intermediate filaments as structural and mechanical coordinators of mesenchymal cells
Nature Cell Biology - This Perspective presents recent insights into vimentin filament structure and function and discusses emerging findings that point to a role in tumour invasion in mesenchymal...
Engineers and biologists join forces to explore the mysteries of vimentin intermediate filaments!
Learned so much from Ming Guo, @aaandmoore.bsky.social, Ohad Medalia, Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, Dave Weitz, and Bob Goldman. Thanks to @natcellbio.nature.com for thoughtful edits
