Myosin-I Synergizes with Arp2/3 Complex to Enhance Pushing Forces of Branched Actin Networks

This study shows myosin-I enhances the force generation of Arp2/3 complex-nucleated actin networks by thinning them and promoting symmetry breaking.

Cdc42 mobility and membrane flows regulate fission yeast cell shape and survival

This study shows that Cdc42 mobility and membrane flows are critical for fission yeast cell shape and survival, with lower mobility leading to impaired polarization and viability.

Compressive forces stabilise microtubules in living cells

The paper shows that compressive forces stabilize microtubules in living cells through CLASP2 relocation, indicating mechano-responsive properties.

Discrete mechanical model of lamellipodial actin network implements molecular clutch mechanism and generates arcs and microspikes

The paper develops a filament-level model of lamellipodial actin networks to simulate retrograde flow and mechanical behavior, showing how parameters affect stress distribution and protrusion morphology.

Cell patterning by secretion-induced plasma membrane flows

The paper shows that exocytosis-induced membrane flows restrict Cdc42 activity zones by dragging proteins and forming negative feedback in fission yeast.

Organization of Associating or Crosslinked Actin Filaments in Confinement

This study uses computer simulations to show how confinement and attractive interactions between actin filaments can lead to ring formation in cells.
