💥 First time getting one of my paper highlighted. Truly honored coming from someone whose seminal work has been inspiring when I entered the field of cancer mechanobiology. Thanks to Konstantinos Konstantopoulos and colleagues for the highlight in @aacrjournals.bsky.social Cancer Research🙏.
Not just soft 🎈 Many thanks to the team of K.Konstantopoulous #JohnsHopkins for throughly discussing our recently-published story in @aacrjournals.bsky.social #CancerResearch Highly appreciated 🙏 Link : aacrjournals.org/cancerres/ar... Our original paper : www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Postdocs wanted - Please spread the word! We are looking for one bioinformatician and 1-2 cell biologists with different expertise! See the job ad below for more information and links to the job descriptions!
💡 Have you ever wondered how #circulating #tumor cells squeeze through narrow #capillaries during hashtag#metastasis ? 💥 We did, check out our latest publication just out #NatureMaterials: rdcu.be/eZHxJ
💥finally here💥. Our latest manuscript (@goetzjacky.bsky.social lab) is out in @natmater.nature.com. We show that cell viscosity drives the metastatic potential. A project handled by former PhD student Valentin Gensbittel, help from Zeynep Yesilata & many labmates! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Cell viscosity influences haematogenous dissemination and metastatic extravasation of tumour cells - Nature Materials
The viscosity of tumour cells is shown to govern their ability to disseminate through the bloodstream and extravasate, establishing a key biomechanical factor of metastasis.

🎉Beyond happiness... this was a long story ! Well handled by our former PhD student Valentin Gensbittel. Initiated back when I was a post doc and now finalized as a tenured researcher in @goetzjacky.bsky.social lab ! If you can't wait the initial version is still here www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Ysterday was quite an amazing day for me and the TBL lab @goetzjacky.bsky.social . Amandine Dupas (my first PhD student) brilliantly defended her PhD with an excellent presentation and an outstanding scientific discussion ! I could not be more proud. Congratulations Amandine this is well deserved 👏
It has been a privilege to assist to the Ruban Rose award ceremony with Research Grand Prize awarded to @goetzjacky.bsky.social at the Hôtel de Lassay. Thanks for this amazing time and always sharing the light with your team 🙏. We are very grateful to the Association Ruban Rose for their support.
📢Internships on cellular nematics! 🔬Come for the pretty images, stay for the cool physics: each project combines in vitro experiments with advanced microscopy and image analysis. 📧Feel free to DM or email me with any questions.
Very happy to share the beautiful cover of @cp-trendscancer.bsky.social that is designed based on our review article on #platelets and their role, usage and targeting in #cancer and its #therapy Link to the full issue : www.cell.com/issue/S2405-... @inserm.fr @unistra.fr
Just back from an awesome #zebrafish meeting in #Toulouse. Vibrant and caring French community around one of our favorite model system 🐠🦓 With Zeynep YESILATA Laurie Nemoz-Billet & Naël OSMANI, we presented some of our current work using that model
Exciting new #Zebrafish research from the #WeinsteinLab, led by Jong Park! “Specialized gas-exchange endothelium of the zebrafish gill” — www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Amazing to see red blood cells moving through the gills! Don’t forget to check out the supplemental movies ;-)
