PhD candidate @Gloerich lab @UMCU, studying the role of mechanical forces in epithelial homeostasis. Fascinated by the interplay between mechanics, stem cells and signaling.
Congrats @cperez-gonzalez.bsky.social!! Really nice!

Adherens junctions co-opt EGFR-ERK signaling for epithelial mechanotransduction
Tension exerted on an epithelium increases the shedding of soluble EGFR ligands (Houtekamer et al., in 13 May 2025 issue).

Phosphoproteomics and transcriptomics of stretched epithelial monolayers revealed that mechanical strain activates EGFR-ERK signaling via E-cadherin mechanotransduction. How? Intercellular forces transduced by E-cadherin trigger ADAM-mediated shedding of EGFR ligands that drive downstream signaling.
