We are really happy to see @mehmetintheory, @zanealsberga and @jonna_alanko‘s work on self generated gradients in collective migration out! Another great collaboration with @EdouardHannezo ‘s lab. Check the pre-print 👉 tinyurl.com/36dsz47z

We teamed up with @ISTAsustainable and Saki, visiting artist @ISTAustria, and collected used non-contaminated gloves. The result was a beautiful dress worth a red carpet event in the lab. Check more of her work 👉sakitheartist.com/ 📸juergenhofmann.com/

An institute like ISTA consumes around 1700 gloves/day. These gloves are often discarded after a single use. Although nitrile CAN be recycled, Europe lacks sufficient infrastructure to process this material, so the gloves end up being incinerated.

If you would like to help science become more sustainable: • Reuse gloves when possible, they can be sterilized with no change in their properties: 📄twtr.to/uPYLx • Don't overstock-gloves do expire!

👻Trick or treat?🎃 Here is a treat 🍬 In our new perspective article @mi_riedl dives into the self-organizing principles behind actin polymerization and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. Two seemingly different systems, one underlying principle. 👉 shorturl.at/hyUY3

🧵(1/6) How do immune cells know where to go? It has been proposed that cells simply respond to externally established gradients of chemokines, but we think that’s not all…

(5/6) DCs don't just passively follow chemical cues! CCR7 senses CCL19 and actively shapes the distribution of chemokine. This dual function allows immune cells to generate their own gradients, guiding their collective migration in complex environments more effectively.

Thrilled to share our work in @Nature showing elevated viscosity counterintuitively increases cell motility and imprints mechanical memory in tumor cells enabling them to disseminate more efficiently in vivo! Thanks to #NCI, @KaustavBera11, @SXS_biophysics nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
