This study investigates shear strain stiffening in cartilage, showing it results from a mechanical phase transition between bending- and stretching-dominated modes, influenced by collagen concentration and compression.

This study uses simulations to show that composition and attraction govern the morphology of Dps:DNA condensates, revealing slow dynamics and robust phase behavior.

This paper shows lung mucus develops a directional mechanical memory under stress, which persists after the load is removed and reorganizes the network structure.

This study identifies a novel mixing mechanism in giant amoebae using a sol-gel transition strategy, achieving rapid cytoplasmic mixing.

The paper uses extremal graph theory to show that mitochondrial networks are likely to have a large connected component due to combinatorial constraints, suggesting this pattern may be a null model rather than requiring specific biological explanation.

This study shows SKAP reduces friction at the kinetochore-microtubule interface and enhances attachment stability under force through its microtubule binding.

This study investigates how DNA topology influences the formation of Dps-DNA complexes, showing that DNA supercoils and bridging contacts facilitate nucleation and stabilization of these structures.
