🔬📢🧫Check out our new preprint about membrane tension propagation in neuronal axons. Here we use two-trap membrane nanorheology to measure the spatiotemporal distribution of membrane tension gradients. @ICFOnians @NMSBlab @MayteBQ @neusanfeliu biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Periodic Obstacles Regulate Membrane Tension Propagation to Enable Localized Mechanotransduction

Forces applied to cellular membranes lead to transient membrane tension gradients. The manner in which membrane tension propagates away from the stimulus into the membrane reservoir has emerged as a...

My paper is now out in the world - I can't believe it! If you want to read the preview it is up on bioRxiv: Membrane mechanics dictate axonal morphology and function biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Membrane mechanics dictate axonal morphology and function

Axons are thought to be ultrathin membrane cables of a relatively uniform diameter, designed to conduct electrical signals, or action potentials. Here, we demonstrate that unmyelinated axons are not...

Check out our new work with @RangamaniUCSD. A great collaboration with Andrea Ghisleni and Nils Gauthier - Mechanically induced topological transition of spectrin regulates its distribution in the mammalian cortex biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Mechanically induced topological transition of spectrin regulates its distribution in the mammalian...

The cell cortex is a dynamic assembly that ensures cell integrity during passive deformation or active response by adapting cytoskeleton topologies with poorly understood mechanisms. The spectrin...

Our preprint is out! In this work with @RangamaniUCSD, we investigate how mechanical properties of dendritic spines change upon LTP biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Biophysical modeling of actin-mediated structural plasticity reveals mechanical adaptation in...

Synaptic plasticity is important for learning and memory formation and describes the strengthening or weakening of connections between synapses. The postsynaptic part of excitatory synapses resides...
