Excited to share our latest work led by a very talented postdoc @marwaha_rr : nature.com/articles/s41467-0… ... Ritu uncovered an unexpected role for lysosomes in regulating leader cell emergence during collective cell migration. We thank @India_Alliance @TIFRH_buzz for support 🙏

(1/n) Today, @TIFRH_buzz members gathered to remember and reflect upon Homi Bhabha’s contributions to science and the ideals on which TIFR was built.
Mustansir Barma spoke about how Bhabha's vision shaped the scientific landscape of independent India, leaving an enduring legacy.

Grateful to Craig Blackstone (Harvard University) for his thoughtful News & Views piece (nature.com/articles/s41556-0…) on our recent @NatureCellBio paper (nature.com/articles/s41556-0…). His sharp perspective and lucid summary beautifully captured the broader significance of our work. 🙏

Next, @tamal_das @TIFRScience revealed the influence of lysosomes in leader cell formation and the ER in supporting lamellipodial crawling and purse-string contraction, identifying them as key integrators of mechanochemical cues to drive collective cell migration. #MBIMPG2025

'How does something so seemingly inconsequential as a curvature of a gap, at the microscopic scale, end up dictating how cells move to heal a wound?'
Read about how @SimranRawal2 (@tamal_das's lab) & colleagues probed cell responses to wound curvatures: tifrh.res.in/~sciencemedia/i…

Regulation of biological functions such as cell migration depends not only on genes and signaling pathways but also on geometry. While it’s clear that cell shape matters, our new paper in Nature Cell Biology shows that organelle shape — in particular, the endoplasmic reticulum 1/
