It’s time to talk about epithelial geometry and cancer. How can the architecture of an epithelium affect how tumors will grow and spread? In this thread, @jorgealmagro.bsky.social
Fascinating #EpithelialMechanics thread by @jorgealmagro.bsky.social, exploring the connection between tissue geometry and tumor growth 👇
Yearly Fuchs lab picnic 🧺
New paper alert! We report in @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social how serine regulates stem cell fate in physiology and upon wounding.
Good work, Jesse and collabs!

Dos decenas de sociedades científicas han solicitado a la Comunidad de Madrid que impida urgentemente el “riesgo de destrucción” del Museo Olavide, una joya de la historia de la medicina que incluye unas 700 figuras de cera de pacientes reales
It was heartwarming to join academic workers together in the fight against funding cuts, layoffs, and attacks to freedom of speech in our campuses. Scientists will not give up! @uaw.org

Postdocs vs students @thefuchslab.bsky.social laser tag was barely a competition 😏
Yesterday we marched to oppose the hijacking of the NIH and the government by a nazi oligarch. Hands off the NIH!! No research, no cures ✊🏼
Great news! @greatysp.bsky.social @jorgealmagro.bsky.social
Congratulations to @jorgealmagro.bsky.social and @thefuchslab.bsky.social as well!! 🎊🎉🥳🥳 @rockefelleruniv.bsky.social @hhmi.bsky.social
New #Review! 🥳
@jorgealmagro.bsky.social, @thefuchslab.bsky.social et al. discuss the role of stem cell mechanics during developmental processes and what happens when the mechanics of the stem cell niche are disrupted in cancer.

Very happy to see our review out in @natrevmcb.bsky.social!
Here we discuss how stem cells exert forces to sculpt tissues in development and homeostasis, and how stem cell mechanics go awry upon malignant transformation. Read it here 👇

Our first 2025 paper!
We discuss in @natrevmcb.bsky.social how epithelial stem cells mechanically sculpt tissues, and how these forces are altered in cancer.
Great work from our former and current tumor mechanobiology experts Vince Fiore & @jorgealmagro.bsky.social 👏

What an exciting read 😍
Caltech has set up a disaster relief fund for Caltech and Jet Propulsion Lab community members affected by the fires. Many lived in Altadena, which has been very heavily damaged. Please consider giving.

Reading a textbook may give answers to such essential questions 😅
From Kandel et al. “Principles of Neural Science” (5th edition, before Piezo was identified as the master mechanosensor)
The Vienna BioCenter Summer School 2025 call is now open for applications from talented undergrads. It is the perfect preparation for students who are interested in graduate study in the life sciences arena. 9-week research project, accommodation and stipend for successful candidates.
Kicking off 2025 Paper of the Week with @kevinng.bsky.social & @fesubtil.bsky.social. Today we discussed our friend @martinaparigi.bsky.social et al. recent paper in @nature.com. How do epithelia unlink necessary drivers of regeneration from malignant transformation?

Congratulations Jimmy and @paigearnold.bsky.social 👏🏼
Birding (and lynxing🤞🏼) with @atalavera.bsky.social somewhere in La Mancha…
My first review of 2025 - Michael Mayer’s new Aida at the Met, for @thetimes.com

Cancers may arise in tissues with a low mutational burden. It’s up to the microenvironment! We discussed this in @natrevcancer.bsky.social

2024 was a year of exciting discoveries and scientific discussions! A thread 🪡 of this years’ publications from our lab 👇🏼
The Fuchs lab is now on Bsky and wishes you happy holidays!! 🎄
More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr.
The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...
