Happy to proudly share that my first first-author work is finally published @NatureComms A lot of sweat and tears went into this and I hope our findings on the role of cell forces in recruitment of cells in the context of CCMs make for an enjoyable read.

Thank you @BPoD_s for this feature! A correction though: these are CCM mutant cells (green) and not cancerous cells. There are parallels between CCM lesion and cancer mechanisms, but this is a CCM mutant cell pulling a non-mutant, “healthy” cell (red).

Cancerous cells use mechanical pulling forces to help 'reprogram' nearby vessels – like training a vine to grow up a wall, albeit 10,000 x smaller!. 📹: @apek_shapeti et al Eva Faurobert, @MAtrix_KULeuven in @NatureComms .➡️: with @DrJohnAnkers
