There has been much theory work on competition for limited pools, in particular for F-actin network growth, but quantitative experimental data was rare. This new assay now demonstrates the decisive role of turnover. Also instructive comment by Cristian Suarez and David Kovar doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

I didn't find a specific mechanotransduction starter pack, so I open one myself😊. There are still a lot of people to be added, but it's late, so please drop me a message or post here to nominate yourself for the Mechanotransduction community. go.bsky.app/2PXf5SC

📣 Paper alert 📣 Our joint work with the group of Peter Bastian on the positioning of stress fibers in mechanically challenged cells is now out in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids This work was technically very challenging, so it deserves a 🧵 for explanations ...

Great work by @omdrozdowski.bsky.social who found that the bubbly vertex model naturally leads to cell bulging and extrusion at topological (pentagonal) defects in curved epithelia. Read the preprint at arxiv.org/abs/2411.07141
