Computational simulations reveal that Abl activity controls cohesiveness of actin networks in growth cones

The paper uses computational simulations to show that Abl activity regulates actin network cohesiveness in axons by modulating Arp2/3 activity.

Different translation dynamics of β- and γ-actin regulates cell migration

The paper shows that differences in translation elongation rates between β- and γ-actin, due to their coding sequences, affect cell migration by altering actin dynamics and focal adhesion function.

Binding Dynamics of Disordered Linker Histone H1 with a Nucleosomal Particle

This study uses a computational model to show how disordered domains of H1 linker histone restrict chromatosome dynamics and enhance its structural rigidity.

Tensile Force Induced Cytoskeletal Reorganization: Mechanics Before Chemistry

This study shows that mechanical alignment of actin filaments precedes chemical changes during bundle formation in response to tensile force.

Intrinsic elasticity of nucleosomes is encoded by histone variants and calibrated by their binding partners

The paper investigates how histone variants encode intrinsic elasticity in nucleosomes and how their binding partners modulate this elasticity and chromatin compaction.

Internal modifications in the CENP-A nucleosome modulate centromeric dynamics

This study investigates how acetylation and methylation of CENP-A lysine 124 affect centromere dynamics, mitotic fidelity, and replication timing.
