This conference proceedings includes a selection of the science discussed at the 4th International Symposium on Mechanobiology.

This collection reflects the diverse and multidisciplinary nature of mechanobiology research spanning length scales and organ systems.

Enjoy!

Chapter 4 is available as open access.

I'm excited to announce that our cephalic furrow paper is out! We investigated the function of this enigmatic invagination using live imaging and modeling and found that it plays a mechanical role during fly gastrulation https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.03.30.534554

Lateral view of a Drosophila embryo (fruit fly) rendered in 3D showing the cell membranes. The head (to the left) and the trunk (to the right) are annotated. In between there is a large invagination known as the cephalic furrow. Arrows delimit the ventral and dorsal limits of the cephalic furrow. A scale bar on the right corner reads 50µm. The embryo has about 500µm in length.

It is just under two weeks from our deadline ⏳December 5th⏳ for abstracts for talk slots at 2023 GRC Cilia, Mucus and Mucociliary meeting in Barga, Italy! Join us for 🔥 science, :coolcats: company & guaranteed great discussions all in the Tuscan hills 🇮🇹 !
