We are hiring! We have an opening for a postdoc position for the characterisation of rheological properties of cellular systems. Interested? Check out the job details here: https://t.co/yByGSBjyFu. Pls RT!
Researchers analyzing the spike protein of #SARSCoV2 before viral entry identified three “shielded” hinges in the spike that may allow it to scan the host cell surface while avoiding antibodies, thanks to glycan shielding.

❗️Paradigm shift❗️: The cell nucleus is not only a passive storehouse for genetic material but an active compartment rapidly converting mechanical inputs into signaling & metabolic outputs. https://t.co/4F8CEoHT2Z
News & Views: Tumours are often stiffer than normal tissues and show abnormally fast metabolism of glucose. A Nature paper shows the link between these two traits involves tension in a network of protein filaments in cells. https://t.co/toUlYERUjr
Congratulations to Mike Hall @biozentrum@UniBasel_en and Prof. David Sabatini @MIT for receiving the Sjöberg Prize 2020 for the discovery of mTOR and its role in the control of cell metabolism and growth.
Our latest paper @NatureMaterials describing molecular mechanisms of how protease activated receptors employ GPCR- & integrin-signaling pathways to activate integrins, induce ligand binding & orchestrate adhesion assembly of non-hematopoietic cells.

From a painful pinch to a soft caress, scientists are zooming in on the pressure-sensitive proteins that allow cells to detect tension and pressure. https://t.co/4JddB5ijFD
"Many biologists are keen to 'think physics'. But cell mechanical measurement should be higher throughput." – Prof. Jochen Guck.

Happy birthday, #CarlSagan! The much beloved planetary scientist, cosmologist, author & gifted science communicator would have been 85 today. #OnThisDay#CarlSaganDay
A scientific paper today is inspired by more disciplines than ever before, shows a new analysis marking Nature's 150th anniversary. https://t.co/MahuxeIKty #Nature150
