(1/n) Excited to share that my PhD work @tamal_das Lab is now published in @NatureCellBio! How do epithelial cells around a gap sense edge-curvature? We find that the ER acts as a central mechanotransducer, sensing the curvature & guiding cell migration. nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

If you are looking for a fresh read to start 2024, our @FabianSpill paper is now online😃. Thanks to the editor and the reviewers for the constructive feedback and @biophysj for a smooth publishing process. doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.2023.1… A 🧵with a "poetic" summary at the end. (1/5)

We find that the permeability of a cylindrical monolayer is higher than that of a planar monolayer. Also, we saw that permeability increases with the curvature of the cylindrical monolayer. (4/5)

Thus, the modelling framework can study the role of chemical and mechanical stimuli in regulating endothelial permeability. We @sys_mech_bio are always looking to collaborate with experimentalists. Thanks to @BBSRC for the funding and @uob_bear for the computing support! (5/5)

Extremely proud of Simran, who has made a tremendous contribution to our understanding of how cellular organelles might influence collective cell migration. Watch out for her story, in collaboration with @FabianSpill and @bkprdp, to be published as a preprint soon.

Next week, I will be hosting @in2scienceUK placement at @MathsBirmingham. We plan to visit labs, use Blackboard to solve equations and have conversations about science. Any suggestions on hosting a great placement are very much appreciated! #biomathematics #STEM #in2sci23

Excited to announce our @FabianSpill new mathematical model, using the principles of contact mechanics, to study the permeability of endothelium. Mechano-chemical stimuli can change the behavior of VE-cadherin based adherens junctions. Have a read! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our model can simulate the zip-like behavior of cell-cell junctions. The shear stress between cells determines whether the particle passes through a bi-cellular junction or a tri-cellular junction. Role of the geometry of endothelial monolayer is also studied.

A big shout-out to @uob_bear for giving wonderful super computing facilities to be able to perform such simulations.

It's wonderful to be back to my "PhD home" @UofGlasgow, to present our work at @SofTMech soft tissue workshop. Many things have changed in 4 years..new buildings in campus, great views of the tower and sky has turned blue 😃

This reminded me of my days at @AgnikulCosmos solving non-linear differential equations for rocket dynamics. Margins are so tight that even an undesired "noise" on the input vector is sufficient to push the solution out of bounds. Good luck to @SpaceX for the next launches!
My Autotrack software captures the moment that Starship lost control. Excitement was very much guaranteed. Great first attempt by the SpaceX team! Tune in to hear our live reaction! @NASASpaceflight youtube.com/watch?v=uouujjgk…

great to see @MargheBott 's poster on her PhD work on cell migration in 3D matrix was well received at the #CECAMECM23 workshop
What an amazing week #CECAMECM23 thank you to @cecamEvents and @lorentzcenter for the opportunity!! Wrapped up a fantastic time celebrating excellence with 6 poster prizes going to @RMCrossley @MRuscone @tisrenk @SWSJohnson @MargheBott and Quirine Braat

Had a fab time visiting @bengaluru. Thanks to Namrata Gundiah for providing me an opportunity to present our @FabianSpill work @IiscMechanical seminars. It was an honour to meet @mkjolly15 and discuss science in person. Hoping to answer some curious questions together!
