I’ll soon be saying goodbye to X. It’s been a nice place to connect with scientists and engage in inspiring discussions. Sadly, the platform’s vibe has changed and I no longer enjoy being here. Those who’d like to stay in touch can find me on Bluesky: rochalab.bsky.social.

What if tweaking nanoparticles isn’t enough to improve nanomedicine?🧐Our latest work shows that tumor biology—not just particle design—affects nanoparticle behavior. Same particles, different tumors, completely different outcomes.🤯Curious? Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

How do cells translate molecular forces into mechanical actions? 🧬🔬💪 Our new research combines Traction Force Microscopy (TFM) with FRET-based tension sensors to uncover how focal adhesions manage vinculin tension and cellular traction. Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🔬 How does tumor stiffness affect cancer? Our latest research shows that stiffer colorectal tumors release proteins that fuel cancer cell migration and blood vessel formation, driving more aggressive tumor behavior. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Using advanced proteomics and synthetic hydrogels, we’ve uncovered the link between stiffness and cancer progression.
These findings point toward new therapeutic strategies targeting tumor stiffness. Learn more about this exciting discovery!
