EpiSci - Hi there! Our review “Mechanotransduction in stem cells” is finally published. With @carstenschulte4.bsky.social we provided a comprehensive picture, that aims to cover the whole mechanotransductive pathway from the cell microenvironment to the nucleus. 1/3 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38729084/

And let me play among the stars
Let me see what Spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

Controlling prediabetes isn’t about avoiding sugar—it’s about choosing the right sugar source

▶️ A new clinical study found that daily mango eating resulted in a better blood sugar control and less body fat.

I would like to bring to your attention this very interesting Webinar about “Live-seq”. With live-cell sequencing we are able to track the same cell over time and uncover cause-and-effect in treatments, heterogeneity, and cell fate decisions.🧬
Great Scott! It’s #BackToTheFutureDay! ⚡️“Don’t just describe what happened, predict what will.”
