📢 1st Annual Indian Mechanobiology Meeting 📆 15-16 October 2025 📍@ncbs_bangalore 🔗docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… ⌛ Deadline: 30 July 2025

2nd paper from Mechanobiologics Lab is out in Journal 'Small' @AdvPortfolio. This work led by my 1st PhD student Alka. Superb collaboration with @ahcells & Rudra Pratap @CeNSEatIISc. We discovered how confined spaces in tissue reduce tumor cell killing upon ultrasound treatment.

In celebration of International Women In Engineering Day 🚀 @INWED1919 #INWED25 #WomenInSTEM today we highlight articles by leading women in bioengineering! 🌕 Organoid bioprinting: from cells to functional tissues by @HeilshornSarah and team: go.nature.com/43T4qA2

Epithelial cell-cell contact resistance to mechanical stress is defined by a regulated viscous dissipation through the cytoskeleton, where the toughness of the cell junction is set by the balance between cortical tension and cell shape recovery time. nature.com/articles/s4156…

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times LESS accurate than humans. Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.

🚀Exciting new review exploring the intersection of #mechanobiology & #AI! From predicting cell forces to analyzing complex genomic data, AI is unlocking new insights into how cells respond to mechanical cues. nature.com/articles/s4434…

🚨 Paper Alert 🚨 Absolutely delighted to share our last paper on "spatial mechano-transcriptomics" in @naturemethods👇!! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Thrilled to be part of the Damon Runyon community and to receive this funding. It really helps a lot in these uncertain times! Thank you to my mentor Dr. Valerie Weaver for her unwavering support! @UCSFHospitals

ÅNGSTRÖM-RESOLUTION IMAGING OF CELL-SURFACE GLYCANS  🧬🎨🍬 The glycocalyx, our cells' sugar coat, holds secrets in immunology, cancer, viral infections, and more. Visualizing its molecular architecture was impossible… until now. #glycotime #microscopy biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The @ConfinementLab is hiring! If you are interested in doing a #postdoc at the @MBIsg in science-friendly #Singapore, please reach out! We have a multi-year fully funded position designed to help you meet your career goals in the rapidly growing field of cellular #confinement!

Interesting preclinical study that makes you wonder how much of the “stromal mutations” in cancer are just translocated mutant DNA/protein from cancer cells. And the role that cancer cell released extracellular vesicles play in this transfer phenomenon. In this paper, there is…
