Effective recognition of double-stranded RNA does not require activation of cellular inflammation

The paper shows that effective dsRNA recognition can occur without inflammation, with distinct pathways activated by different RNA features.

Active membrane deformations of a minimal synthetic cell

This study introduces a synthetic cell model with an active cytoskeleton that exhibits shape fluctuations and morphing abilities, revealing how active forces influence membrane deformation dynamics.

Biased localization of actin binding proteins by actin filament conformation

The paper shows that actin-binding proteins preferentially localize to different actin structures based on filament conformation, using live cell imaging and in vitro binding measurements.

Steric Regulation of Tandem Calponin Homology Domain Actin-Binding Affinity

The paper investigates how structural modifications affect the actin-binding affinity of tandem CH1-CH2 domains, finding that steric changes and interface mutations influence binding properties and sub-cellular localization.

Adhesion of active cytoskeletal vesicles

This study shows that cytoskeletal vesicles can adhere to solid substrates only if molecular motors actively remodel the actin cortex, enabling deformability to compensate for lack of membrane area.
