Study of tumor/stroma mechanobiology in cancer
Abstract: Our research focuses on understanding processes of cellular mechanosensing (how cells sense and respond to mechanical cues from their environment) involved during tumor dissemination and the immune response in cancer. For those projects, we use or design 2D and 3D on-chip models to mimic the tissue/tumor-like physical constraints, composition, and spatial organization of the tumor and its tumor microenvironment. Those approaches enable the study of tumor and stromal cell motility, interaction, and mechanosensing in controlled microenvironments and specific cellular organization, and address the impact of anti-cancer therapies on those cellular behaviors. In this seminar, we will present our ongoing projects and preliminary results related to NK cell trafficking, cytotoxicity, and mechanosensing using on-chip tumor models.

Mitochondrial G-actin modulates the tumor mitochondrial metabolism and communication with the microenvironment
Abstract: Several studies have reported the presence of actin in mitochondria (mt). The interactions between the actin cytoskeleton and the mt control essential functions of this organelle, including mtDNA expression. The tumor suppressor gene APC, frequently mutated in colorectal cancer, has also been found at the mt and nucleates actin filaments. In this project, we have used a specific mutant of APC which is impaired in actin nucleation, APC-m4, to investigate the role of the G-actin in the mt and links with the mtDNA transcription machinery.
We observed that increased G-actin levels in the mutant cells results in a greater presence of actin at the mtDNA promoter, and an increase of the mitochondrial expression and the oxygen consumption rate without affecting the mitochondrial mass. Using RNASeq data we constructed a condition-specific modelling (in silico) approach that revealed a metabolic rewiring – from glucose oxidation to fatty acid synthesis – in the mutant versus wild type cancer cells. We hypothesize that such metabolic reorganization in the mutant cancer cells stimulates gene expression of FFAR receptors and the ability to polarize and migrate of RAW macrophages.

Brainstem circuits regulating ingestive behaviours
Abstract: Dr. Pablo Blanco Martínez de Morentin is a neuroscientist whose research focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying energy balance, feeding behaviour, and gut-brain communication. He completed his PhD at the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2013, where he investigated the role of hypothalamic hormone sensing in the regulation of metabolism. He subsequently undertook postdoctoral training at the University of Aberdeen, where he was awarded competitive fellowships and grants, including MSCA-IF, WT-ISSF and The Royal Society of Edinburgh. He gained advanced expertise in in vivo physiology and neuroendocrinology, with a particular focus on brain-body interactions in the context of obesity and anti-obesity medications.
Since 2023, Dr. Martínez de Morentin has developed an independent research program at the Neuroscience department at the University of Leeds. de Morentin Lab aims to untangle the brainstem-thalamic circuits that integrate interoceptive signals with external cues to influence motivational states related to feeding. Their work employs a multidisciplinary approach combining fibre photometry, optogenetics, and machine learning-based behavioural analysis to dissect how physiological signals from the periphery are integrated with environmental cues to shape adaptive and maladaptive behaviours. A key aspect of their current research explores how gut-derived cues influence thalamic processing and decision-making around food intake, particularly in environments that promote obesity.
