This paper develops a coarse-grained model for glycosaminoglycans compatible with Martini forcefields, enabling simulation of their conformational and thermodynamic properties.

The paper uses a confetti mouse model to assess fiber-crossing by satellite cells during muscle regeneration, finding that 26-33% of SCs contribute to multiple adjacent fibers.

This paper extends the Martini forcefield to model N-glycans by optimizing coarse-grained parameters and validating them against experimental data on lectin binding and solvation properties.

This study identifies Ubp6 and Ubp3 as deubiquitinases that regulate protein quality control by modulating ubiquitin levels and degradation pathways in yeast.

The paper maps strain patterns during zebrafish gastrulation to understand convergence and extension movements, identifying symmetric and rotational strain features.
