Last week, I presented our research on cancer mechanobiology at Pint of Science #pint26. After many years attending the festival from the audience, it was really fun to be on the other side this time :)

Inspiring article! An absolute must-read

How does a cell learn? In our new perspective in @nature.com we propose a model where the properties of the AP-1 family of transcription factors – stress-induced feedback, regulatory combinatorics and cellular memory – encode a mechanism for cellular learning. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Looking for an easy-to-use yet physiologically relevant system to study cancer cell invasion? In our new preprint we use decellularized mouse tissues to model organ-specific invasion, preserving native ECM properties and recapitulating metastatic organotropism! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Ex Vivo Assay for Organ-Specific Cancer Cell Invasion

Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, yet experimental models inadequately recapitulate the tissue-specific microenvironments that shape metastatic dissemination. In vivo system...
