This study introduces a new method to measure energy dissipation during cell-cell junction rupture and shows that cortical tension and shape relaxation time determine whether junctions behave ductile or brittle.

This paper introduces a method for volumetric excitation and 4D imaging of single molecules in multicellular systems using light sheet and multifocus microscopy.

The paper measures traction forces and actomyosin dynamics in stress fibers, revealing that actin turnover and traction forces depend on both myosin II and formin activities.

The paper shows that ECM dimensionality affects actin tension, which in turn modulates endoplasmic reticulum function and spheroid resilience in mammary epithelial cells.

The paper shows that EGFR activation increases adherens junction elongation speed without affecting final size in suspended cell aggregates.

The paper introduces a high-content 3D imaging platform for organoid development analysis, enabling automated, high-throughput imaging and AI-based quantification of morphological features across multiple scales.

The paper shows SMIFH2 inhibits myosin ATPase activity and actin filament translocation, affecting myosin 2A, myosin 10, and other non-muscle myosins, suggesting caution in using SMIFH2 to infer formin function.

This paper introduces a method to sort migratory cancer and immune cells based on their spontaneous migration in 2D and 3D environments, revealing enhanced cytotoxicity in enriched migratory cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

The paper investigates how extracellular domains of E-cadherin influence epithelial mechanical properties through cell- and non-cell-autonomous signaling.

This study shows that mature hepatocytes can autonomously polarize to form secretory hemi-apical lumens on bio-functionalized substrates, enabling controlled study of lumenogenesis.

The paper develops a single-cell assay to analyze EphA receptor clustering in cancer cells, revealing its persistence through division and association with migration and drug resistance.

This study investigates how mechanical forces and membrane tension affect podosome assembly and disassembly in cells.

This study examines actin cytoskeleton self-organization in fibroblasts and epitheliocytes under isotropic confinement, revealing differences in pattern progression and the role of keratin networks.

This study uses mechanical stimulation of suspended cell doublets to investigate how cortical actin and junction proteins respond to compression versus stretch at cell-cell contacts.

The paper models the dynamics of intercellular secretory lumen formation, predicting a critical pumping threshold and a transition between monotonous and oscillatory regimes during luminogenesis.

This paper introduces a method to create 3D micro-niches with combined chemical, topographical, and rheological cues to study cell behavior.
