Congrats to students @Habib_GeriAlimi, Toheeb Alao, and Daniella Delgado (who is applying to PhD programs!!!) on their new paper out today! Here they review what we know about how sialylation of the glycocalyx controls cancer mechanobiology! frontiersin.org/journals/onc…

Excited to share our new study in @CellReports! 📜Fluid forces cause cells in tight, but not moderate, confinement to move upstream. Key players: Lamin A/C, actomyosin, calcium, and NHE1. Read more: cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… @NIGMS @BCRFAlabama @AuburnEngineers #confinement

Thrilled to have the first article from the Buffone Lab out in @ASCBiology MBoC lead by Ph.D. students @Mittykins_ and @_iamsubham. Amazingly, we can coax macrophages to crawl upstream opening all sorts of possibilities on controlling macrophage migration! molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/…

All immune cells must transit from the blood to distal sites such as the lymph nodes, bone marrow, or sites of infection. Blood borne monocytes traffic to the site of inflammation by adhering to the...
