Electrostatic modulation of signaling at cell membrane: Waveform- and time-dependent electric control of ERK dynamics

This study shows that alternating current electric fields can modulate ERK signaling in epithelial cells through waveform- and timing-dependent electrostatic interactions.

Ras-mediated homeostatic control of front-back signaling dictates cell polarity

This study uses optogenetics to show that RasGAPs regulate cell polarity by enhancing actomyosin contractility at the back and F-actin polymerization at the front.
