Mechanical stresses in the extracellular environment are known to affect conversion of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. However, the stress fields experienced by cells in tissues can be multiaxial. How do cells integrate this multiaxial information? (1/5) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join us tomorrow, October 23rd at 3pm EST for a #TissueTalk with Prof. Ovijit Chaudhuri @theChaudhurilab from @Stanford as he discusses his group’s work on “Cell migration and morphogenesis in viscoelastic matrices.” See you there: bit.ly/tissuetalks

The future of 3D printing is CLEAR @ScienceMagazine Determined to 3D print tanglemers developed by @Junsoo_twit & @zhigangsuo, we invented a new way to process printed materials that is broadly useful to the 3D printing field. @apdhand @BurdickLab @HannahZlotnick CLEAR🧵👇

Excited to share our new method in @ScienceMagazine to advance the properties of DLP-printed materials. This work was led by @apdhand & @fiber_matt in collaboration w/ @HannahZlotnick & NIST colleagues. Link: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @CUEngineering @pennbioeng @BioFrontiers

This, in addition to the many voices we hear calling out from across the globe, is a poignant reminder that the fight for equality and human rights continues and cannot be ignored! loom.ly/ngkMd3M

More evidence that vimentin intermediate filaments contribute to cell mechanosensing. We are very excited to be part of this collaboration! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @FaridAlisafaei @ShenoyLab @CEMB_STC @SUBioInspired 🍊🔬

In this preprint, led by @FaridAlisafaei, we show that disruption of vimentin filaments can increase or decrease cell-generated forces, depending on microenvironment stiffness. Thanks to Janmey, Patterson, and Guo labs for sharing their data. @CEMB_STC biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
