Getting tissue stress from images is tough, and elastic tension sensors are a way to solve this. Still, the analysis is complex. Try our GUI gitlab.gwdg.de/betzlab_publ... implementing analytical solutions to obtain surface stresses AND shape parameters of beads and nuclei.

But what about intermediate filaments? This question is often in my head when I see a talk about cell mechanics focused on actin or microtubules. I am @tom_golde and today I will give you a short overview about the role of intermediate filaments (IF) in #EpithelialMechanics

Great new paper on spatiotemporal organization of cell division in zebrafish embryos. The mitotic waves preceding the ZGA are phase waves set by differences in N/C ratio, driven by geometry-induced asymmetric divisions. Important new insights and very interesting addition to the field.

Yesterday President Trump announced a pause on all federal grant disbursals. While it is a bit vague on details, it appears to include research grants. This would be devastating to American science. If you have not had a chance, call your Senators & Reps 🧪 www.cnn.com/2025/01/27/p...

As the Trump Administration destroys the institutional progress we have made in diversity, equity and inclusion in science & education, each of us retains the opportunity to reflect and speak out. The piece I wrote four years ago is even more relevant today 🧪 www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/...
