I never intended this account to be about politics but there is a limit to everything. So, a bit late, but finally moving to Bluesky. Please check @pcusachs.bsky.social for updates on our lab, with the first one coming today!

Our work on a new technique we call 3D micropatterned traction force microscopy (3D-μTFM) is now out:

Here is our new pre-print on a new technique we call 3D micropatterned traction force microscopy (3D-μTFM):

www.biorxiv.org 3D micropatterned traction force microscopy: a technique to control three-dimensional cell shape... Cell shape and function are intimately linked, in a way that is mediated by the forces exerted between cells and their environment. The relationship between cell shape and forces has been extensively... With a bit of delay in announcing it, here is our new preprint on the role of force in the loss of naïve pluripotency:

www.biorxiv.org Cell-matrix force transmission regulates the loss of naïve pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem... The first step in the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) is the loss of naïve pluripotency. This step involves a major reshaping of cells from a rounded to a spread, adhesive... In another new preprint in the lab, @i_GraneroMoya shows how nucleocytoplasmic transport responds to mechanical inputs in cell monolayers:

www.biorxiv.org Nucleocytoplasmic transport senses mechanics independently of cell density in cell monolayers Cells sense and respond to mechanical forces through mechanotransduction, which regulates processes in health and disease. In single cells, mechanotransduction involves the transmission of force to...
