Thought Spef1 one was some ciliary protein? Check out Dr. Rocio‘s (@rtpastrana.bsky.social) poster on how Spef1 shapes epithelial monolayers, no cilia needed 🤩. Tuesday at #cellbio2024, P2439, B46. @vucellimaging.bsky.social

Aren't monolayers fun? I think I have a new desktop background now. #FluorescenceFriday #Microscopy

A new #ScienceSignaling study interrogates crosstalk between mechanical and biochemical signals in epithelial cells, illustrating how mechanical stretching activates a kinase that regulates cell growth, migration, and differentiation.
E-cadherin mechanotransduction activates EGFR-ERK signaling in epithelial monolayers by inducing ADAM-mediated ligand shedding
Epithelial stretching promotes the release of EGF receptor ligands that stimulate ERK activation.

Oil form droplets when mixed with alcohol, your monolayers dewet to form spherical aggregates, your friends dancing in a club form a circle, why?

I’m @challopeau.bsky.social and I will tell you about the origins and consequences of interfacial tension in tissues.

A bit delayed, but excited to still share our latest paper, showing that intercellular forces transduced by E-cadherin activate EGFR-ERK signaling in epithelia by inducing EGFR ligand shedding! Mechanical and biochemical signals can act together within a single, linear cascade! tinyurl.com/mr9mj9j2

How do epithelial monolayers respond to external mechanical cues at the tissue scale?

Like any other mechanical testing, let’s begin with in-plane deformation modes: stretching, compression, and shearing.

New work from my lab, together with Boris Maček's lab! Using magnetic levitation, we made multicellular spheroids to ask a simple question: how different is mitosis in 3D structures compared with standard 2D monolayers? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
