Biophysical Models of PAR Cluster Transport by Cortical Flow in C. elegans Early Embryogenesis

The paper develops a biophysical model to test how PAR-3 clusters interact with cortical flow in C. elegans embryos, showing that existing metrics like Peclet number are insufficient and proposing a new metric for distinguishing cluster-cortex interactions.

Modeling cell shape diversity arising from complex Rho GTPase dynamics

This study models how Rho GTPase dynamics generate distinct cell shapes, explaining their diversity through computational analysis of signaling mechanisms.
