Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new @nature paper, Miranda Hunter found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2

How does the cell membrane adapt to its environment?
@dnr_robinson and Amy Rowat are developing CRISPR-powered technologies to identify proteins that impact cell membrane mechanics, particularly how membranes adapt to physical stress. #FrontierScience alleninstitute.org/division/…

Chromatin heterogeneity modulates nuclear condensate dynamics and phase behavior.
Congratulations Jing! Happy to have contributed in a small way to this interesting work!

Our tour de force into the nucleolar world — a stunning exploration of spatial organization and the functional choreography of ribosome biogenesis now out in Nature✨ tinyurl.com/5n7jk3uz
Led by @sofiquinodoz, @jiang_lifei, @brangwynnelab, with theory partners @QiweiYu2, Andrej Kosmrlj, and all of our collaborators!!
Now on the Princeton Engineering and ODBI sites, a new mapping tool that allows researchers to peer deep into cells' inner compartments to watch and control ribosome assembly, shedding new light on the machinery responsible for making proteins.

Excited that our nucleolus mapping paper just came out today in Nature! Truly an amazing study from even more amazing due of @sofiquinodoz & @jiang_lifei w/ @LafontaineLab & Sebastian Klinge and other fantastic co-authors nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Excited to share a new preprint!
(1)🔬The nucleolus is the most prominent nuclear condensate, with a fascinating multilayered liquid-like structure, and is the site of ribosome biogenesis. But how does this multiphase architecture form and function?

Biomolecular condensates organize cellular contents.
Most studies focus on passive phase separation, driven by salt, pH, or temperature.
But what if intracellular movement also matters?

Here, we explore motility-induced condensation in a cellular context.

How do altered levels of lamins and other nuclear envelope proteins contribute to cancer metastasis, and how does this relate to #mechanobiology? Learn more in our recent review by @SarahHenretta now out in @Nature_NPJ - biological physics and mechanics (doi.org/10.1038/s44341-025-0…).

A new Science study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The results challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts behavior
