Amoeboid Cell Migration through Regular Arrays of Micropillars under Confinement

This study investigates how HL-60 cells' migration and search efficiency are affected by pillar density and confinement in microfluidic environments.

The role of actin and myosin II in the cell cortex of adhered and suspended cells

This study investigates how actin and myosin II dynamics, structure, and mechanics differ between adhered and suspended cells, revealing unexpected correlations and new localization patterns of NMII minifilaments.

A novel universal algorithm for filament network tracing and cytoskeleton analysis

The paper introduces a new algorithm for tracing filament networks in 2D images and analyzing cytoskeleton structures using advanced microscopy techniques.

Vimentin provides target search efficiency and mechanical resilience for dendritic cell migration

This study shows vimentin enhances dendritic cell migration through confined spaces by improving mechanical resilience and target search efficiency.

Symmetry breaking and de-novo axis establishment in hydra: microtubules as a pivotal element

This study investigates symmetry breaking in regenerating hydra spheroids, showing that microtubules, not actin, are critical for establishing polarity and axis formation.

Scanning electron microscopy preparation of the cellular actin cortex: a quantitative comparison between critical point drying and hexamethyldisilazane drying

This study compares three sample drying methods for electron microscopy of the actin cortex, finding that hexamethyldisilazane and CPD-LT reduce artifacts better than CPD, with different effects on cell height and actin layer separation.

Vimentin provides the mechanical resilience required for amoeboid migration and protection of the nucleus.

This study shows vimentin, along with actin, provides mechanical resilience for amoeboid migration and protects the nucleus from DNA damage in confined spaces.

Size control in mammalian cells involves modulation of both growth rate and cell cycle duration

The paper measures single-cell volume over cell cycles in mammalian cells and finds size homeostasis relies on both growth rate and cell cycle duration modulation.
