Mitochondrial Adaptation to Mechanical Stress in Cardiac Ageing and Disease Mechanical forces shape the heart's energy factories. This review explores how mitochondria in cardiac cells sense and respond to biomechanical stress, altering their structure, positioning, and meta...

📢Just out in Advanced Science! 🎉 Congratulations to Aishu on the exciting review on Mitochondrial Adaptation to Mechanical Stress in Cardiac Ageing and Disease! doi.org/10.1002/advs...

We’re organizing a conference at @ijmonod.bsky.social in Paris, January 2026, in memory of M.P. Sheetz — pioneer in cell mechanics and mechanobiology, co-discoverer of kinesin, and founder of @mbisg.bsky.social. Join us to explore his legacy.

Thanks Eliott for the shout out! Fantastic work from Tingtin ( Matteo Palma lab at #QMUL ) and Caoimhe, using the Nanofrazor for high-res patterning: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Ever wondered where to neatly store DNA origami? Try 50-nm diameter nanoholes—patterned with the #NanoFrazor! 🔬 These nanoholes expand to 180 nm after oxygen plasma, making room for single DNA origami.🧪
