This study identifies DEK1 as a regulator of cellulose synthesis and cell wall mechanics in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study investigates how trivalent metal cations affect the mechanical stiffness of E. coli biofilms, showing significant stiffening with Al(III) and Fe(III) but not with Zn(II) or Ca(II).

This study shows bacterial alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is essential for mineralization in Escherichia coli biofilms, identified through experiments and imaging techniques.

This study investigates how helix propensity and hydrophobic core packing affect the mechanical stability of coiled coil heterodimers using single-molecule force spectroscopy.
