Our work on the mechanoresponsiveness of actin is out! While plant microtubules have been extensively studied for their role in mechanobiology, actin has very much been ignored. Here we show that actin responds to cellular deformations within minutes and observed it in Marchantia and Arabidopsis!
Plant actin networks are rapid mechano-adaptive scaffolds https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.07.16.738884v1

🧪🌾Researcher portrait: Meet @jalonsos.bsky.social 🌍

How do changes in water become signals that guide plant growth?

In our new portrait, Juan talks about water movement, meristems, tree “heartbeats”, and why plants can be seen as teachers.

New episode of the MechanoBioTalks webinar tomorrow!

To join us, register here green-te.nl/activities/
On 22 april at 2 PM CET, the MechnoBioTalks webinar series will continue with Michael Nash. His research focuses on engineering the mechanical properties of biomolecules with highly interdisciplinary research, combining single-molecule biophysics, molecular modelling, and high-throughput screening.

Working with amazing people in an amazing place @johninnescentre.bsky.social , and getting to see hundreds of these videos was already beyond my wildest dreams... Now surprised and happy to see that the wave of calcium joy keeps travelling! :)
This is why we love #CalciumSignaling

Look how mechanical damage triggers long range Ca2+ waves in this plant !!
