High-throughput screening of drugs that affect cell proliferation is easily done using a plate reader.

No such luck for cell migration. So, we developed an assay for label-free deep learning-based automated cell tracking.

Read more about our assay here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🤩My new #naturecover for @maxreichertmd.bsky.social and @arispapargyriou.bsky.social who developed a new 3D culture system called “branched” organoids.

They’re called #branched because they grow outward in tree-like shapes with multiple “branches” mimicking the tumour growth in adenocarcinoma.

June, a reminder of the importance of visibility, inclusion, solidarity. Let's uplift each other + stand up for equity—not just in words, but in action! The Meshwork will always celebrate LGBTQ+ voices. Have a story/lab initiative/scientist to spotlight? We’d love to hear/share!

Did you know cancer cells can be electrically active, just like neurons? This electrical activity plays a key role in tumor progression. Excited to share my first postdoc paper at @crick.ac.uk (and first paper from Leanne Li lab), published in @natureportfolio.nature.com!

Very happy to see our review out in @natrevmcb.bsky.social!
Here we discuss how stem cells exert forces to sculpt tissues in development and homeostasis, and how stem cell mechanics go awry upon malignant transformation. Read it here 👇

1/n Some time ago my colleague, excellent cook, and friend Ivan told me: "Cacio e pepe is the recipe that I screw up more often. Let's make a project studying systematically the physics of that sauce".

Prepare to get cheesy, I'm glad to share the Cacio e paper preprint:
