Big congrats Mike!
Congratulations Miranda, outstanding work!
My recent postdoctoral work is out today in @nature.com! We found that physical confinement makes melanoma cells more invasive and drug tolerant. Thanks to all who made this work possible @whitefishlab.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social #NIH #NCI www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Mechanical confinement governs phenotypic plasticity in melanoma - Nature
Mechanical confinement of cancer cells at the tumourβmicroenvironment interface induces phenotype switching through chromatin remodelling by HMGB2, leading to a more invasive and drug-resistant state ...

Excited to share our latest review on biomechanical forces shape endothelial plasticity and morphogenesis! We delve into dynamic feedback between mechanical cues & molecular pathways that drive two key processes: endothelial-to-hematopoietic & -mesenchymal transition.
