SHAPINCELLFATE Impact of cell shapes on cell behaviour and fate
Coordinator: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE CNRS (FR)
Cells are often depicted as irregular spherical objects - the shape they adopt in suspension. However, the packed environment of tissues alters this simple shape, causing large cell deformations. This occurs during normal tissue growth and is even more pronounced upon tissue overgrowth, as in the case of solid tumors. Cell shape changes frequently occur in migratory cells, such as immune cells that patrol the organism within interstitial tissues, and cancer metastases that escape from the primary tumor to invade healthy tissues. In all cases, cells adapt and survive even to very large deforma…
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
EU contribution: €10.8M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2023-04-01 to 2029-03-31.
