This study replaces endogenous EB1 with a light-sensitive variant in human neurons to show EB1's role in growth cone dynamics and neurite guidance through optogenetic inactivation.

This study examines how drought affects CO2 emission and isoprenoid synthesis in tropical tree leaves, finding that drought-sensitive species show greater reductions in daytime CO2 production and altered VOC allocation.

This study uses optogenetic inactivation of EB1 to show that it regulates metaphase spindle length by controlling astral microtubule interactions with cortical dynein/dynactin.

The paper measures methane flux and microbial communities across land use changes in Amazonia, finding that pasture soils emit methane while forests act as sinks, with microbial shifts driving these changes.

This study shows that converting rainforest to pasture in the Brazilian Amazon increases soil methanogenesis, with pastures acting as methane sources and secondary rainforests as sinks.

This paper demonstrates precise spatial and temporal control of microtubule dynamics using photo-dissociation of EB1, showing that neither the GTP cap nor CKAP5 can sustain polymerization at physiological rates.
