Stress-dependent cell stiffening by tardigrade tolerance proteins through reversible formation of cytoskeleton-like filamentous network and gel-transition

This study identifies CAHS proteins as stress-dependent cytoskeletal-like proteins that form reversible filaments and gels to enhance cell stiffness and dehydration resistance in tardigrades.

Comparative mapping of crawling-cell morphodynamics in deep learning-based feature space

The paper maps crawling-cell morphodynamics in a deep learning-based feature space using phase-field modeling and identifies key parameters for migratory morphologies under perturbations.

Micro-topographical guidance of macropinocytic signaling patches

The paper shows that micro-topography guides macropinocytic signaling patches in Dictyostelium, with PI3K-dependent nucleation and confinement at convex and concave surfaces, respectively.
