Delighted that the most recent paper from our group has been published in @CurrentBiology! This work was led by @XunWangPhD along with Christian Cupo, @sassan_ostvar, and @ndrewcountryman and explores how cell-cell adhesion levels impact tissue mechanics and flow @CUSEAS
Excited to share that my work @Kasza_Lab @CUSEAS @Columbia has just been published in @CurrentBiology!🎉Check out our paper on how cellular-level adhesive forces tune tissue-level morphogenesis and impact development here: cell.com/current-biology/abs… #Science #Engineering #Research

Thank you @celestemnelson! I had such a fantastic visit. It was so great meeting with the folks at @EPrinceton and seeing so many old friends!
Still smiling after yesterday's beautiful seminar presentation from the dynamic @Kasza_Lab! Grateful that she chose @EPrinceton for her first in-person visit since the pandemic started. Morphogenesis is beautiful and a fantastic problem for engineers and physicists!
