A chemomechanical model of sperm locomotion reveals two modes of swimming

This study presents a chemomechanical model of sperm swimming that identifies two distinct modes of locomotion with different waveforms and velocity patterns based on dynein activity.

Equilibrium morphologies of a macromolecule under soft confinement

The paper studies equilibrium shapes of a semiflexible chain in a soft lipid tubule using simulations and theories, finding a prolate to toroidal coil transition for stiff chains.

Thermodynamics of droplets undergoing liquid-liquid phase separation

The paper studies the thermodynamics of binary mixtures undergoing liquid-liquid phase separation, showing how surface tension and elastic interactions influence droplet formation and stability.

A Lamin Associated Chromatin Model for Chromosome Organization

The paper introduces a polymer model of chromatin organization influenced by Lamin proteins, showing how they shape chromosome territories and chromatin domain structures.

How Cognitive and Affective Empathy Relate to Emotion Regulation: Divergent Patterns from Trait and Task-Based Measures

The paper examines how cognitive and affective empathy relate to emotion regulation through trait and task-based measures, finding divergent patterns in their associations with reappraisal use.

Looking at my own Face: Visual Processing Strategies in Physical Self-representation

This study investigates differences in visual processing of self-faces versus other faces using psychophysics and eye-tracking, finding distinct gaze patterns and associations with autism traits.

Individual differences in responsivity to social rewards: Insights from two eye-tracking tasks

This study uses two eye-tracking tasks to examine social reward preference in typical adults, finding greater salience and value for social rewards and a link between empathy and social reward value.
