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?
Rodriguez, C., Jeong, H., Kim, J., ... & Guo, M. (2026). Expression of vimentin intermediate filaments in epithelial cells promotes cell migration and cell matrix interaction in 3D. Biophysical Journal. #EpithelialMechanics doi.org/10.1016/j.bp...
Enjoyed a stimulating cell migration + math bio conference at the Banff International Research Station.
Many thanks to the organizers and congratulations to @htjeong.bsky.social and @jiwon-kim.bsky.social for great talks! Look forward to visiting again soon!
Delighted to share our latest views on our favourite cancer cells
Well done @ritoghose.bsky.social 👏

What does it take to truly understand #cancer in all of its complexity?
Delighted to share our Review in Cell "Cancer ecosystems: A dynamic interplay across scales" with Daniela Quail, where we propose a multi-scale framework connecting tumor ecology with physiology 🧪⚕️

Much remains to be explored. What happens when the tissue geometry is more complex? Does this occur more broadly for other biomaterials? Could we one day control collective orbiting for development and disease?
We are excited to chat about epithelial mechanobiology

Tumor cells often metastasize in clusters with other cells, offering novel targets for treatments.

How does an orbiting spherical tissue suddenly break symmetry and sprout invasive strands? We can predict this behavior from the initial morphology!

Summary: Amoeboid cancer cells exploit actomyosin contractility, metabolic adaptability and immune evasion to drive metastasis, representing a distinct and therapeutically targetable state within the ...
