Neuronal and non-neuronal functions of the synaptic cell adhesion molecule, neurexin, in Nematostella vectensis.

This study investigates the functions of neurexins in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis, revealing both neuronal and non-neuronal roles in synaptic and cell adhesion processes.

Trait-specific indirect effects underlie variation in the response of spiders to cannibalistic social partners

The paper investigates how genetic and environmental traits of social partners influence the behavioral response of wolf spiders to conspecific cues, finding that indirect effects drive variation in focal individuals' behavior.

Filopodia-mediated basement membrane assembly at pre-invasive tumor boundaries

This study shows MYO10 promotes BM assembly in DCIS to limit invasion but facilitates cancer cell dissemination in invasive breast cancer.

Integrin binding dynamics modulate ligand-specific mechanosensing in mammary gland fibroblasts

This study shows that SHARPIN regulates collagen-specific mechanosensing in mammary fibroblasts by modulating integrin 11β1 activity and force transmission.

Mechano-responsiveness of fibrillar adhesions on stiffness-gradient gels

This study investigates how fibrillar adhesions respond to mechanical cues by using stiffness-gradient gels and identifies tensin-dependent growth of these structures in response to stiffness.

Fluctuation-based Super-Resolution Traction Force Microscopy

This paper introduces a method to improve traction force microscopy resolution and throughput using super-resolution microscopy based on fluorophore fluctuation analysis.

Mucosal CD8+ T cell responses induced by an MCMV based vaccine vector confer protection against influenza challenge

This paper shows that intranasal immunization with an MCMV-based vaccine vector induces lung-resident memory CD8+ T cells that protect against influenza challenge.

Superresolution architecture of pluripotency guarding adhesions

The paper investigates the three-dimensional architecture of unique focal adhesions in human pluripotent stem cells and identifies structural features linked to pluripotency maintenance.
