ECM as a cell-cycle brake. Led by Liyuan Sui (Dahmann lab), we show that the ECM gates Yorkie nuclear entry to halt proliferation at final size via G2 arrest in the Drosophila wing disc. ECM degradation later enables re-entry proper adult wing size. Link 👇 #Mechanobiology #ECM

New paper out: AFM-tip fluctuations inside the actin cortex reveal that effective temperature can remain unchanged while time-irreversibility/entropy production drop (turnover inhibition). #CellMechanics #ActiveMatter #Nonequilibrium @PoLDresden @tudresden_de

Why do secondary #tumors go for #MET during the metastatic cascade? Our new study suggests that immune evasion—rather than faster proliferation—might give them the edge. 👉 cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S… #CancerResearch #TumorBiology #Immunology #Metastasis
