Hello! The Lammerding Lab @CornellBME and @weillinstitute is now on Twitter! Here is what you can expect from this account: highlights of our #mechanobiology work, pretty fluorescent images and videos, gushing over our team members, and more. Follow us!

Please note that the meeting will be in Melbourne, Florida, not Australia!.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

Speakers include: @AnaMLennon1 @renkawitzteam @hawa_racine @Zjahed @PCusachs @Ruprecht_Lab @Jor_Ferreir @GabrielNeurohr @SimoneReber @DennisDischer @ZierLab @KateMiro1 @WickstromLab @_Priya_R @ShenoyLab @IkegamiLab @stroud_lab @rmccord526 @Beck_Laboratory & many others!.

Final call to register and submit abstracts for the @FASEBorg conference on the Mechanobiology of the Cell Nucleus (#MBNSRC) to be considered for platform presentations. The conference takes place in Melbourne, FL, Oct. 26-30, 2025. See more info at:

…and it provides a better understanding of the normal function of lamins, particular in skeletal and cardiac muscle cells. The work was led by amazing Jacob Odell und supported by the @NIH, NSF, and @FondationLeducq.

This effect is due to the unique rod domain of lamin A/C, and does not require the lamin Ig-fold or tail, or unique binding partners. This work has direct implications for or understanding of our mutations in the LMNA gene cause muscular dystrophy and heart disease ….

What allows lamins A and C to confer much stronger mechanical stability to the nuclei than lamin B? We show that even though all lamins can protect the nucleus from small cell intrinsic forces, only lamin A/C protect the nucleus from large deformations: .

A great article on why supporting NIH (and also NSF) funding is so vital for the US, no matter which political party you support.
