On my way to CellMech25 in Leuven! I'm really looking forward to catching up with the Mechanobiology community! First time as Lecturer @unistrathclyde.bsky.social&PI @theglasgowcemi.bsky.social with parts of my group (Extra) Cellular Mechanobiology in Health and Disease @dylanjfowler.bsky.social 🤩!

Congratulations Carmelo and team, brilliant work showing that mechanostimuli (through sound waves) can provoke nuclear chromatin responses in mesenchymal stem cells which directs the cells towards osteogenic lineage🤩!

Carmelo Ferrai @carmeloferrai.bsky.social · 15d

Paper accepted!!!!
Congratultions to @lizebonaaugust.bsky.social Blanca del Rosal and Leslie Yeo it was a pleasure to work together on this amazing project! 🎊🎊🎊🎊

Very interesting story on the nuclear mechanoresponse to sono-stimulation!

@dylanjfowler.bsky.social & Felizitas Stiehler are doing experiments 👆, currently in @carstenschulte4.bsky.social's lab at the Department of Biomedical Engineering @unistrathclyde.bsky.social, then in Hans-Peter Wollscheid's lab at @imbmainz.bsky.social studying myosin VI in mechanotransduction.

BioMedEng25 is over! I really enjoyed my talk&the opportunity present my research. I also talked about unpublished work from a collaboration with @carmeloferrai.bsky.social that is getting closer&closer to being deposited on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social. Stay tuned 😀!

Our study on the mechanosensitive behavior of cell adhesion, showing the existence of a force-transmission mechanism that behaves very differently from the well-known 'load-and-fail' mechanism, was published in Nature Physics:

A little more than a year that @carmeloferrai.bsky.social and I published our review "Mechanotransduction in stem cells"🤯! I'm happy that it was received well 😃! Stay tuned, more to come in this direction in a not too far future😎.

Carmelo Ferrai @carmeloferrai.bsky.social · May 13

EpiSci - Hi there! Our review “Mechanotransduction in stem cells” is finally published. With @carstenschulte4.bsky.social we provided a comprehensive picture, that aims to cover the whole mechanotransductive pathway from the cell microenvironment to the nucleus. 1/3 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38729084/

A paper that I published as a co-first author in 2014 (with G.M. Ferraris and V. Buttiglione, supervised by N. Sidenius, not on bluesky) reached 100 citations.

Science social media weren't that big yet back then, so I seize this occasion to make a 🧵 about it now:

If you already have some names that would be highly appreciated (you can also send me a direct message).

We don't have the website up yet, but should come online soon.

Carsten Schulte @carstenschulte4.bsky.social · Jun 3

We are interested in anyone who does great research in mechanobiology. If you have some names to share, we'll have a look at them. Thanks a lot!

Carsten Schulte @carstenschulte4.bsky.social · Jun 2

Hi, that would be nice if you can share some names and we"ll have a look.
