Experienced in nano-and micro-fabrication? MBI is recruiting a new Head of our Microfabrication Core Facility. More details in the flyer and at https://t.co/XEcGAd6KIp
Please join us this Wed/Thu for Dr. Zheng Shi's (Rutgers) talk entitled "Mechanics of condensates in the cytoplasm" in the Physical Properties of the Cytoplasm online seminar series. For more info, visit https://t.co/BtEYKG7og9
New preprint out! We uncover a compensatory network linking cell mechanics, PI3K/Akt signaling, and ion exchanger NHE1. Actomyosin disruption activates PI3K/Akt → NHE1, generating a biphasic response in mechanosensation.

@kenneylj My heartfelt condolences. Mike is the greatest guru and pioneer in Mechanobiology. I was very lucky to be a student and a teaching assistant in his class, The Cell as a Machine, and that was a great opportunity to explore the world of mechanobiology.
The @ConfinementLab's latest paper is out in @PNASNews! Fantastic work by @LY_Sci to build a tool to rapidly and accurately measure nuclear volume and surface area in #confinement. Thread below: https://t.co/NUXPQkz5p1
It is nice to see that our model of nucleus volume regulation can fit well the highly nonlinear behavior of nucleus volume as a function of the cell volume observed in experiments, which previous models were unable to predict.

New preprint from the Sun lab @SXS_biophysics, and 2 more coming soon! Led by @Jfu32Fu, we show that cells prioritize regulating mass density (mass/volume) by coordinating volume and protein synthesis together, under perturbations like osmotic shock. https://t.co/UHvNmyu1ii
Congrats to Qin and the team on publishing our latest work: https://t.co/2Fy6AfE98Y. The paper shows how NHE works with F-actin and other cell components to drive cell swelling and cell shape change.
Lab meeting with the Chan Lab
The lab of @ChiiJChan1, based at the Mechanobiology Institute @NUSingapore, is interested in how mechanics regulates mammalian folliculogenesis and ovarian dynamics.
Meet the lab and find out what it's like working @MBIsg:
