The Natural Material Evolution and Stage-wise Assembly of Silk Along the Silk Gland

This paper uses imaging to study silk fiber formation in silkworm glands, revealing structural transitions and compartmentalization that enable stable protein assembly and fiber spinning.

Designer protein assemblies with tunable phase diagrams in living cells

The paper designs proteins that form tunable assemblies in cells and maps their phase diagrams to understand how interactions influence mesoscale structures.

Fenestrae-associated protein Plvap regulates the rate of blood-borne proteins passage into the hypophysis

The paper demonstrates that Plvap regulates the rate of blood-borne protein passage through fenestrated endothelia in the hypophysis using zebrafish models.

Robo2 regulates synaptic oxytocin content by affecting actin state

This study shows that Robo2 regulates synaptic oxytocin content by affecting actin dynamics in zebrafish.

Large-scale rewiring in a yeast hybrid

The paper describes a yeast hybrid with increased growth rate and biomass yield under various conditions, but identifies genetic perturbations and regulatory disruptions associated with heterosis.
