✨Geometry is everywhere!✨ Turns out cells like #curvature almost as much as I do! I'm happy to finally be able to share our work on combining 3D printing, imaging, and some math to study geometry-guided cell patterning in complex curved landscapes. nature.com/articles/s4146…

sebacallens's tweet card. Nature Communications - It remains unclear how cells respond to complex extracellular geometries at the mesoscale. Here, the authors study the organization of bone cells in landscapes with varying...

Really interesting and surprising study on cellular acrobatics! 🌀🤸‍♀️

MManish Ayushman@AyushmanManish · Nov 1

Happy to share our work out now in @NatureMaterials! We (fortuitously) identified an intriguing cell movement that occurs in 3D hydrogels in the minutes timescale and can regulate mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation. We call it ‘cell tumbling’. 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4156…
