Listeria-infected macrophages promote biomechanical alterations in endothelial cell monolayers for transmigration
I'm excited to share our paper on how infected #macrophages promote #biomechanical alterations in #endothelia to transmigrate, published in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! Thanks to all contributors, @sergemostowylab.bsky.social and @cmfi.bsky.social for the support. Here: www.cell.com/cell-reports...
The Bastounis Lab is at #CellMech2025 in Leuven 🇧🇪!
We explore how mechanics shape infection: from epithelial entry to endothelial barriers.
📅 Sept 30: Raúl Aparicio Yuste & Lara Hundsdorfer

We’re hiring! A PhD position (E13 TV-L, 65%) is available at @cmfi.bsky.social @unituebingen.bsky.social. The DFG-funded project explores how mechanical forces shape intracellular bacterial infections, focusing on Listeria. Details & application: www.euraxess.de/jobs/366585. Start: ASAP!
We hope you'll join us in Ascona, Switzerland for the upcoming thematic meeting Mechanobiology of Infection, June 7-11, 2026. Abstract submission and registration are now open! www.biophysics.org/meetings-eve...
