Congrats to students @Habib_GeriAlimi, Toheeb Alao, and Daniella Delgado (who is applying to PhD programs!!!) on their new paper out today! Here they review what we know about how sialylation of the glycocalyx controls cancer mechanobiology!.

Amazing work as always @mistrigr! Redefining what we know about upstream migration!!!.
Excited to share our new study in @CellReports! 📜Fluid forces cause cells in tight, but not moderate, confinement to move upstream. Key players: Lamin A/C, actomyosin, calcium, and NHE1. Read more: .. @NIGMS @BCRFAlabama @AuburnEngineers #confinement

Thrilled to have the first article from the Buffone Lab out in @ASCBiology MBoC lead by Ph.D. students @Mittykins_ and @_iamsubham. Amazingly, we can coax macrophages to crawl upstream opening all sorts of possibilities on controlling macrophage migration!

Come see our mechanobiology focused session this Wednesday morning hosted by myself and @mistrigr at #AIChEAnnual. Also if you’re in the faculty market or looking for a PhD program, come talk to me about our open positions @NJIT!.
We invite you to attend @ChEnected #AIChEAnnual session on 'Decoding the Cell Microenvironment' on 11/8, 8-10:30 am, Celebration 3 (Hyatt Regency Orlando). Excited to have Dr. Esther Gomez as our invited speaker. Thanks to co-chairs @mistrigr @Abuffone_Lab #AIChE2023.
