Does viscoelastic confinement physically alter cell proliferation?
Sree @padmanabh97 & @Mridul_Gautam01, along with @bagade_nikita18 & Sunil Laxman, discovered a 3D confinement-driven cell cycle regulation in budding yeast. (1/9)

New work from our group @NCBS_Bangalore in collaboration with @SayantanD2 from @iitbombay is now published in @PhysRevE. Theoretical work was led by @nandhu_kb with help from @padmanabh97 who performed the experiments. We thank @serbonline for research funding!

[Tapomoy Bhattacharjee @tapomoy89]

New Collab with @sayantanD2 from @iitbombay is out @PhysRevE. @nandhu_kb @NCBS_Bangalore has theoretically demonstrated that a wound in an epithelial monolayer can undergo three distinct phases of closure. @padmanabh97 validated these experimentally. 1/5

How do physical properties of bacterial niches affect their colony growth in 3D? @padmanabh97 shows for the first time that physical confinement in 3D can selectively favor the colony growth of certain bacterial strains over others. @NCBS_Bangalore
