Metavinculin mediates differentiation cues into myogenic gene expression.

The paper identifies metavinculin's role in switching Wnt pathways to regulate skeletal muscle differentiation and suggests therapeutic targets for muscle disorders.

Dynamic coexistence driven by physiological transitions in microbial communities

This paper introduces a model to study microbial community dynamics by focusing on physiological state transitions rather than fixed interactions, identifying key features of dynamic coexistence.

Closed ecosystems extract energy through self-organized nutrient cycles

The paper introduces a conceptual model explaining how closed microbial ecosystems self-organize to stabilize nutrient cycles and extract energy efficiently.

Tissue confinement regulates cell growth and size in epithelia

This study shows that tissue confinement in epithelia uncouples cell growth from division, leading to reduced cell size and a minimum volume set by genome size.

Proofreading through spatial gradients

This paper proposes a spatial gradient-based error correction mechanism that enhances specificity without requiring dedicated structural features, and quantifies its performance limitations.
