A/Prof Samantha Stehbens PhD

Excited to announce…..it’s finally arrived (!!) nature.com/articles/s4155… A big thank-you to my team (particularly @robertr33), co authors & #FutureFellowship funding from @arc_gov_au Importantly- a big shoutout to @drDJVDavid @NatureCellBio for their support. 👇tweetorial 👇…

Exciting news from Naba lab as they just released an updated list of anti-ECM antibodies curated from the #HumanBioMolecularAtlasProgram Organ Mapping Antibody Panels #OMAP and the 9th release of the Human Reference Atlas #HRA. More info here: sites.google.com/uic.edu/matris…

Here's a tortoise embryo developing inside its egg. Check out our new article in @iScience_CP to learn how molecular and mechanical systems sculpt their intricate head scales 🐢🔬

Super excited that our paper is out. It describes a new mechanism for dealing with tissue crowding that does not involve cell extrusion. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Being a scientist is still the best job in the world. The constant frustrations, all the crap that goes with trying to keep the lab alive and move things forward - it all resets and washes away in those occasional moments when we catch a glimpse of nature revealing something…

Excited to be starting my research group as a tenure track Presidential Young Professor at the Mechanobiology Institute @MBIsg, and the Dept of Physiology at @NUSingapore in the fall! More about our work on vascular mechanobiology: mechano-medicine-lab.com

Interested in a #postdoc on cardiac #mechanobiology? Our lab has a fully funded position via our recently awarded @HFSP grant to study the biophysical processes that build insect hearts🪲🪰🫀 Come join us @MBIsg for some cool evo-devo-mechanobio work! 👇 mbi.nus.edu.sg/jobs/seeking-p…

Hey everyone - the annual @SocietyMelanoma meeting in beautiful Amsterdam is coming up. Always a fantastic lineup of research spanning basic, translational and clinical. We also have a great trainee "pre-SMR" meeting. Join us! smrcongress.org

📣Abstract submissions for the 11th ISA close on 18th July! The 11th ISA invites you to Lorne, Australia to learn about the latest developments in autophagy research. Speaker slots available for ECRs and PhD students! Register here: isa11.org

SNAP-tag is a widespread tool for labelling protein for bioimaging. An article published in @nchembio presents SNAP-tag2 with increased labelling kinetics and brightness, which translates into a better performance in live-cell super-resolution imaging. go.nature.com/4eARnXz

How do cells link adhesion to protein synthesis? New findings suggest the protein p130Cas forms droplets that bud from focal adhesions and suppress translation, hinting at a novel mechanism for regulating cell state via phase separation. elifesciences.org/articles/96157…

Our July cover (hubs.la/Q03vJ8s50) shows a confocal timelapse imaging of #Celegans one-cell embryo expressing fluorescently labeled plasma membrane, microtubules, chromosomes, and ZEN-4, a plus-end directed kinesin motor protein (hubs.la/Q03vJ8yc0). @Sachin_mitosis
