MechanoMR microparticle (M3) sensors reveal dynamic stress loading as a driver of epithelial-mesenchymal transition

The paper introduces M3 sensors to measure tissue stress dynamics and shows that abrupt stress increases drive epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer.

Spatiotemporal photocatalytic proximity labeling proteomics reveals ligand-activated extracellular and intracellular EGFR neighborhoods

The paper uses spatiotemporal photocatalytic proximity labeling to track dynamic EGFR interactomes both extracellularly and intracellularly upon EGF activation.

Engineered Receptors for Soluble Cell-to-Cell Communication

This paper introduces SNIPR, a synthetic receptor that responds to soluble ligands, enabling targeted CAR T-cell therapy and synthetic cell signaling.
