How is extrusion of infected host cells related to ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) activity?

Hi, I’m @hundsdorfer.bsky.social from the @effiebastounis.bsky.social lab. Let’s follow the recent development of bacterially-infected cell extrusion & mechanochemical ERK activity waves.

Happy to share our paper describing StretchView, an accessible cell-stretching device compatible with automated live-cell videomicroscopy: doi.org/10.1002/advs...! A great collaboration with the Constantinou lab TU Braunschweig. Thanks to DFG, Universität Tübingen, @cmfi.bsky.social for supporting!
