Theory of sarcomere assembly inferred from sequential ordering of myofibril components

The paper proposes a theoretical framework for sarcomere assembly using sequential ordering data from Drosophila flight muscles, suggesting dynamic binding and tension-dependent feedback mechanisms.

Physical mechanisms of red blood cell splenic filtration

This paper investigates how red blood cells pass through narrow splenic slits using multiscale modeling, live imaging, and microfluidic experiments, finding that cells deform into two tether-connected spheres and unfold their cytoskeleton to pass through.

MRCK controls myosin II activation in the polarized cortex of mouse oocytes and promotes spindle rotation and male pronucleus centration

This study identifies MRCK as a key regulator of myosin II activation in mouse oocytes, showing its role in spindle rotation and male pronucleus centration during meiosis.

Meisosomes, folded membrane platforms, link the epidermis to the cuticle in C. elegans

The paper identifies meisosomes in C. elegans as folded membrane structures linking the lateral epidermis to the cuticle, and shows their role in biomechanical integrity and damage response.

Cofilin regulates actin network homeostasis and microvilli length in mouse oocytes

This study shows cofilin regulates actin network homeostasis and microvilli length in mouse oocytes by controlling F-actin dynamics and monomer availability.
