ECM as a cell-cycle brake. Led by Liyuan Sui (Dahmann lab), we show that the ECM gates Yorkie nuclear entry to halt proliferation at final size via G2 arrest in the Drosophila wing disc. ECM degradation later enables re-entry + proper adult wing size. Link 👇 #Mechanobiology#ECM

How do individual proteins sculpt the epithelial basement membrane? Our new study uncovers their role in network structure, nematic alignment & fractal patterns. 🔗 https://t.co/C164TQcgWr... #CellBiology#ECM#BasementMembrane#Drosophila
Why do secondary #tumors go for #MET during the metastatic cascade? Our new study suggests that immune evasion—rather than faster proliferation—might give them the edge.
