Compression-dependent microtubule reinforcement comprises a mechanostat which enables cells to navigate confined environments

R. J. Ju, A. D. Falconer, K. M. Dean, R. P. Fiolka, D. P. Sester, M. Nobis, P. Timpson, A. J. Lomakin, G. Danuser, M. D. White, D. B. Oelz, N. K. Haass, S. J. Stehbens

The paper shows that microtubules form a mechanostat to coordinate contractility and nuclear positioning during confined cell migration.

F-actin bending facilitates net actomyosin contraction by inhibiting expansion with plus-end-located myosin motors

A. K. Y. Tam, A. Mogilner, D. B. Oelz

The paper models actomyosin contraction at the filament scale, showing that F-actin bending reduces expansive stress and enables net contraction through geometric asymmetry.

Spatial redistribution of neurosecretory vesicles upon stimulation accelerates their directed transport to the plasma membrane

E. B. Schenk, F. A. Meunier, D. B. Oelz

The paper develops a Markov state model to describe neurosecretory vesicle transport and binding kinetics, showing spatial redistribution upon stimulation accelerates directed transport to the plasma membrane.

Protein Friction and Filament Bending Facilitate Contraction of Disordered Actomyosin Networks

A. K. Y. Tam, A. Mogilner, D. B. Oelz

This study uses mathematical modeling to show that protein friction and actin filament bending are necessary for contraction of disordered actomyosin networks, with filament turnover required to sustain contraction.
