Very excited to be sharing our new paper, just out in Nature Cell Biology! The big question we investigate: How do migrating cells put their front 🔴 and back 🔵 in the right place?

Very pleased that after a rigorous (and lengthy) review process, our paper visualizing how myosin generated forces modulate actin filament structure for mechanosensitive recogntion by α-catenin has appeared in @nature.com : www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to have contributed to this chem–bio collaboration @polytechniqueparis.bsky.social @i2bcparissaclay.bsky.social, brilliantly developed by Antoine Gamet and led by Bastien Nay, to develop a molecule controlling cell migration by tuning cytoskeleton with light JACS: doi.org/10.1021/jacs...
