Multi-modal profiling of biostabilized human skin modules reveals a coordinated ecosystem response to injected mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine.

This study uses VaxSkin to analyze the skin's response to mRNA-1273 vaccine, showing targeted immune cell activation and communication.

Hydra morphogenesis as phase-transition dynamics

The paper uses Hydra regeneration to develop a physics framework for morphogenesis, showing that Ca2+ fluctuations drive a phase transition from spherical to elongated shape.

3-D deconvolution of human skin immune architecture with Multiplex Annotated Tissue Imaging System (MANTIS)

This paper introduces MANTIS, a tool for 3-D deconvolution of human skin immune architecture, revealing common immune features in severe skin conditions.

Canalized morphogenesis driven by inherited tissue asymmetries in Hydra regeneration

This study investigates how inherited tissue asymmetries guide body-axis polarity in Hydra regeneration, showing that mechanical and biochemical feedback lead to reproducible developmental outcomes.

Universal Calcium fluctuations in Hydra morphogenesis

The paper shows that calcium fluctuations in Hydra regeneration exhibit universal properties and are modulated by external controls, maintaining regeneration ability.

Plasticity of body axis polarity in Hydra regeneration under constraints

The paper studies Hydra regeneration, showing that body axis polarity can be reversed under certain conditions, with head formation biased toward tissue edges due to actin fiber defects.

IFITM proteins promote SARS-CoV-2 infection and are targets for virus inhibition

This study shows that IFITM proteins are required for SARS-CoV-2 infection and can be targeted to inhibit viral entry and replication.

Topological defects in the nematic order of actin fibers as organization centers of Hydra morphogenesis

The paper identifies topological defects in actin fiber nematic order as organization centers during Hydra morphogenesis, suggesting they function as mechanical morphogens.

Electric-induced reversal of morphogenesis in Hydra

This study shows that an external electric field can halt and reverse morphogenesis in Hydra regeneration by modulating Wnt3 activity and calcium dynamics.
