Just so fascinated by how cancer cells die in different manner after radiation therapy. A great contribution from the @thecesarelab.bsky.social. Congratulations @szmyd-radoslaw.bsky.social!

My research is finally out!

Huge thanks to @thecesarelab.bsky.social, @radoncdocgee.bsky.social, and everyone involved for their invaluable support along the way.

Briefly, we have demonstrated that cell cycle dependent DSB repair pathways guide death outcomes following lethal genomic damage.

Biorxiv posted an audio summary for my recent pre-print and amazingly it makes my work easier to understand 🤩

It turns out that the forces applied to cells as they are ejected from a tissue affects whether those cells 'live' or 'die'.

Dynamic forces shape the survival fate of eliminated cells - Nature Physics

Tissues eliminate unwanted cells through cell extrusion, but the factors determining whether these extuded cells live or die are not fully understood. Now force transmission across adherens junctions ...

How much cells adapt their mechanical properties to match the stiffness of underlying substrate? In Part II we report how paclitaxel-stabilized microtubules modulate the cytoskeleton adaptation to compliant substrates.

Stem cell mechanoadaptation. II. Microtubule stabilization and substrate compliance effects on cytoskeletal remodeling

Stem cells adapt to their local mechanical environment by rearranging their cytoskeleton, which underpins the evolution of their shape and fate as well as the e

Kicking off the new year and my first post with a paper alert - my p
PhD work is finally out in APL Bioeng! Part I is about cytoskeleton adaptation to volume-changing stress when perturbed with paclitaxel
