The paper shows that two classes of myosins organize distinct membrane domains through active forces, enabling spatial segregation of nanoclusters and modulating information transduction.

This study identifies an antagonistic relationship between tropomyosin and vinculin in regulating GPI-anchored protein nanoclustering through competitive interactions on actin filaments.

The paper develops a two-colour ImFCS method to quantify how the juxta-membrane actin cortex influences plasma membrane dynamics by measuring reporter diffusion.

The paper shows that actin flows sort membrane proteins based on their affinity for actin, leading to specific clustering and patterning.

The paper shows that growth factors induce rapid desialylation of cell surface glycoproteins, enabling reversible changes in glycan structure and function through galectin-mediated endocytosis.

The paper introduces a solvatochromic probe, C3L, to measure membrane order at the plasma membrane leaflet level, revealing asymmetry and local modulation by transbilayer interactions.

The paper reports genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Bengaluru, India, across three pandemic waves, identifying 18 clades and 196 lineages, with Delta dominant in the second wave and Omicron BA.2 dominant in the third.

The paper develops a method to quantify 3D concentration gradients and cellular organisation in curved epithelial tissues using image processing and intensity correction.

The paper sequences 1000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from India, revealing multiple circulating lineages, predominant A2a haplotype with D614G mutation, and geographic mutation clustering.

The paper investigates how steric hindrance and stratification affect actomyosin organization, showing that simulations and microscopy reveal stratified patterns in vitro that differ from in vivo observations.

This study identifies integrin receptor signaling as a driver of GPI-anchored protein nanoclusters through acto-myosin activity and vinculin coupling.
