Very excited to be sharing our new paper, just out in Nature Cell Biology!
The big question we investigate: How do migrating cells put their front 🔴 and back 🔵 in the right place?

📃 Actomyosin-dependent assembly of the mechanosensitive machinery from adherens junctions triggers actin polymerization and organization

Very pleased that after a rigorous (and lengthy) review process, our paper visualizing how myosin generated forces modulate actin filament structure for mechanosensitive recogntion by α-catenin has appeared in @nature.com :

Structural studies demonstrate that myosin generates forces that cause structural changes in actin, modulating cooperative binding by α-catenin and thus signal transduction and intercellular communica...
Not enough space in the first post to highlight the major contribution of Stéphane Roméro and Arthur Courtois from Alexis Gautreau’s lab @polytechniqueparis.bsky.social with the cell studies.
Thrilled to have contributed to this chem–bio collaboration
@polytechniqueparis.bsky.social @i2bcparissaclay.bsky.social, brilliantly developed by Antoine Gamet and led by Bastien Nay, to develop a molecule controlling cell migration by tuning cytoskeleton with light
